The original creator of the company will care about that because they know why they are trying to solve the problem. Everyone that comes after will not. This is natural. Everyone after sees the validation of the product as a validation of a money printing machine and will look to run just that - a money printing machine.

Hate to deify a Steve Jobs, as if he needs more god-like overtures, but that is what will always make him different than your Tim Cooks of the world (or your Sundar Pichais of the world as opposed to Larry or Sergey, your Activision-Blizzard management versus just the original Blizzard team).

Two completely different types of animals. In a sense, that’s why we usually describe this loss as a company’s soul leaving it. The why goes missing and the what, which is always money, is all that’s left.

More likely older fathers are higher status, which correlates with their own height, and therefore that of their children.

We've wondered if this might have been a factor for our son. Wife and I were 35 when we had him, and he's severely autistic and has Leukemia.

Research says that incidences of both rise as the age of parents does, but it's not something heavily studied at this time. His oncologist said at least partially because they already deal with parents blaming themselves enough.

I would never use a library that invents its own DSL.

We already have JS and HTML native to every browser with all the capabilities we need.

React/Solid/Preact and others build off this.

Alpine, Vue, Angular and company do not (x-for, v-for, ngFor etc)

I have no desire to learn a DSL specific to a single library.

A big mistake with this math is that globally developers are not paid anywhere close to 250k/yr even fully loaded for the company. In my country in Europe it's closer to 60k/yr fully loaded. There is cheaper. Also most companies aren't gonna build something from scratch, they are going to use something else that is also available. That being said this type of exercise is good to show because many managers do not do it.

I love this style of interviewing, but I have been discouraged by HR/management from asking questions like these because they were deemed too subjective. Personally I believe this was directly related to their D&I pipeline efforts and the "subconscious bias" we were told we all had.

"At the risk of stating the obvious, the reason Madoff was arrested so quickly is because he confessed to every element of criminal fraud — including both the underlying scheme and his criminal intent. This meant that the FBI had both that confession and highly potent, admissible evidence of guilt in the form of testimony from his adult children (who had no apparent axe to grind)."

Right, I mean, I'm not saying he's not guilty, but does anyone at this point really understand it deeply enough to file an arrest warrant? I understand the impatience emotionally, but not logically.

It only goes against his "free speech thing" if his "free speech thing" was actually a coherent ideology.

Instead his "free speech absolutism" is a brand, it's there to signal what kind of person he is, it's not a set of principles and therefore cannot stand up to scrutiny.
