12/18   Hello, I work at a small internet startup, and all I can
        do is think about my stock options, at least twice a day,
        I think about how much I'd get if they were worth $$$, and we
        IPO, and I think about how many stocks my coworkers have, and
        whether they have more, and whether I should ask for more
        since I now only have 0.25% of the company and I feel I am vastly
        overperform them.  Stock Options! Is something
        wrong with me?   -daytrader
        \_ If *all* you do is think of your options, pretty soon you won't
           be "vastly overperform" your co-workers.  Then you'll get fired,
           and you'll have other things to worry about besides options --
           like how to stop those damn punk kids who live on the other side
           of your underpass from stealing *your* shopping carts all the
           time.  Damn kids!

4/23    Suppose you used to work at Awesome Corp that got acquired by
        Monsanto Corp. You're embarrassed about it and people now hate
        you by association. Should you put Monsanto on your resume? Or
        is it better to leave it out completely?

3/13    Worker's paradise: "a workplace free of VCs, MBAs, sales, marketing,
        biz dev, endless meetings;"

        \_ I love management and PMs, the more the better.
           \_ In my company the ratio of product managers to developers is
              about 1 to 5.  I heard that at Microsoft it's about 1 to 1.

3/1     Can someone explain to me why Groupon is a tech company?
        \_ It's similar to how Amazon and eBay are tech companies.
           \_ Amazon and eBay are *NOW* tech companies, they didn't
              start that way. Groupon started off as a marketing
              company, and their "technology" isn't getting any better
              than a bigger and bigger opt-in email spam system.
