5/31    Have you ever been in a company where there are many more talkers
        than doers (people who actually... WRITE CODE!!!)? What do you
        do in that situation? What if the management is more impressed
        with talkers than doers? What is that like for you?

           \_ LOL thanks for the link. Yes this is exactly what
              my company looks like. The CEO is friends with
              everyone who is not coding (they talk a lot).
        \_ yes, i have. just produce. the talkers will come to respect you
           and in time will respect your critical perspectives in
           response to their empty talk. but mainly just produce.

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?
        \_ Awesome Corp 2008-present (acquired by Monsanto in 2010)

3/13    Worker's paradise: "a workplace free of VCs, MBAs, sales, marketing,
        biz dev, endless meetings;"
        http://sfbay.craigslist.org/about/craigslist_is_hiring
        \_ 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.

        \_ Did the Big Oil pay the reporter to do that?

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.

This financial crisis is forcing California state and local agencies to make some tough decisions. If current conditions continue much longer, there's a real risk that we may have to lay off Jose.
