I don't think the person getting flagged is always deserving of the dogpile. Your comment implies "you should take this time in timeout to think about your actions" which is just a gentler form of rhetorical struggle sessions, and not always warranted.

Great, we've got a lot of statues to patch.

At the beginning of work from home, I was confident that a lot of these big companies would maybe close a few locations but have coworking spaces available for those who prefer the office. You could have an amount of spaces spoken for, for people who need an anchored space, and you could have communal areas and open rooms with shutting doors for people who want to pop in and get a space.

I think as more people were able to work from home, they moved to areas that were cheaper as they no longer had to be near california.

Can you still use LiLo these days on a systemd enabled system?

VC is a fading model. Might be rude to say it here, but at least call it what it is. Money costs more than ever, why take on that stress?

Somewhat related, Monster bev has a 'no nerds' policy. Just tongue in cheek I emailed them about sponsorship for an OSS project that was practically built by Monster Ultra Fiesta and the email response spelled it out in no uncertain terms, no nerds.

So we're just editorializing titles now? The title of the article is "No coach, no agent, no ego: the incredible story of the ‘Lionel Messi of cliff diving’"

Tell me the price, make the host and tennant have a singular universal set of expectations. It's not hard. Holiday Inn Express has been getting my business lately. Everything is labeled, no wild sudden items after checkin like "don't forget to put the back door mat on the balcony railing so the racoons don't run off with it".

Everything that made AirBNB cool at first eventually made it bad inevitably. Glad to have made friends with hosts along the way before it went sour.

Im seeing a pattern of tech companies going public the shitting the bed every time. Digitalocean, Rackspace, the list goes on.

Folks, stop doing this. This is squarely the fault of the VC-Startup overleveraged model where the public listing or SalesForce acquisition is the end goal but its about the most disingenuous and disrespectful thing you can do to the user these days because it's so tried and true what happens next.

Haha, sorry, where are my manners.. ahem.. Blood for the blood god!

Don't let the jaded nobodies make you think you're burned out when you're not. There's lots of people in this industry and you'll hear from complainers and those who have a romanticized vision of the tortured creator the most.

Lemme break it to you, there's only one Hemmingway and he died.
