@hijunedkhatri I kid you not, I once left my cushy $20k/month freelancing setup to join a company as CTO. They were secret about their revenue numbers and it turned out I was making 2x their entire mrr before. 😂

@gabriel1 @agentipation but if I don't believe in the company why would I care about losing the stocks?
English
people join startups to get a small amount of stock that they hope will 100x
sweden impose a law that makes all startups have a 3 year cliff. this means if you are an employee, you will lose ALL your stock in the company if you leave before 3 years has passed
people join startups hoping this stock goes to the moon, but if the company stagnatest the employeees are usually forced to stay for another 1-2 years just to get their stocks, even if they don't believe in the company anymore
this is highly anti-free markets and significantly slows down innovation, since the best talent will stay locked up into stagnating companies. only very few startups work, so you want people to go between companies as fast as possible if you are building wrapper or saas companies (which is what we are building in sweden)
English
if sweden removes the obligation for 3 year cliff for startups it will geniunely become a great place to start a company, which finally seems to be happening
there is extreme talent, it's just hard to hire when all the good talent is locked up for 3 years

Moderaterna vill att Sverige ska vara Europas Silicon Valley. Därför presenterar statsminister Ulf Kristersson och jag idag i Dagens industri två nya moderata vallöften för att cementera Sverige som Europas ledande technation: • Ett världsledande program för personaloptioner • Se över visumregler, som kan innebära ett riktat tech- och talangvisum Sverige har länge legat allra längst fram, med framstående innovationer, hårt arbetande entreprenörer och startups. Det ska vi vara stolta över. Men vi kan inte luta oss tillbaka om vi vill vara bäst också i framtiden. På min techturné under våren har samma tydliga budskap kommit från alla de bolag jag träffat: Sverige måste bli bättre på att attrahera världsledande kompetens och få fler talanger att stanna här och bygga framtidens företag. Systemet för personaloptioner måste göras om, så att snabbväxande techbolag inte växer ur dem på kort tid. Regler för visum behöver ses över för att bättre svara upp mot techbranschens behov. Det måste gå snabbare och vara enklare. Sverige ska vara den självklara destinationen för spetskompetens inom tech. Sverige ska inte bara ha en stark techscen. Vi ska vara bäst, i dag och i morgon. Moderaterna är redo att göra de reformer som krävs för att nå dit. Vi ska vara Europas Silicon Valley. En plats där företag vill starta, skala och även stanna.

@JarkkoHelenius @derinerkan @paleonormie Muay thai is mad, the intensity is brutal. Can't seem to replicate it at home without a thai trainer yelling at me
English
@derinerkan @paleonormie Its roughly equivalent of 10 mile run. However it does not all need to be exercise per se, since the context we are discussing is in manual labor/being active all day.
FWIW I have had up to 2000 cal sessions at Muay Thai gym. Its something you build up to.
English
You actually do have to prioritize protein to a psychotic degree when you’re sedentary
Manual labor guys eat like 6000 calories a day, you get adequate protein from Funyuns at that point
kitty pavlova@kitty_pavlova
guys who work in office jobs from home: i need like 10000g of protein or i will literally die guy who actually does manual labor: did yuo know seven elever has a deal where two taquitos free if you get monster energy drink

@flowidealism I gravitated towards programming as a kid because "you're telling me this thing will do exactly what I tell it to? I'm in"

My son graduated from Reed in mathematics. Worked as a software developer for a startup. Started the R statistics open source group in Portland. Microsoft, Apple, Amazon all recruited him. We never pushed. We read every evening from when he was an infant.

@hermesxvii @romanhelmetguy This book has a trump rant every 12 pages
English
@romanhelmetguy Ryan Holidays life work is Marketing, not Stoicism.
He’s basically a course selling grifter.
English
Ryan Holiday isn’t some Stoic guru btw. He’s been doing this for a dozen years and never even bothered to learn Latin or Greek. He made $10 million reading the Stoics in translation then repeating what they say at a 5th grade reading level to sell self-help books at the airport.
English
@TPCarney No, dude, it’s just that you spend two hours “cleaning the gutter” once a year and cooking dinner alone takes 40 minutes every night.

Pollsters and researchers routinely ignore all housework done outdoors.
Jill Filipovic@JillFilipovic
Men routinely overestimate the amount of childcare and housework they do. Women underestimate how much they do and overestimate how much their husbands do. One solution: dads should commit to doing 70% of the work and it’ll wind up closer to 50-50.
English
@malus88561 @EyeOnStalk @GreenPlusAnE Exactly. 3 months of SS gives anyone a decent base that carries over to anything else they want.
English
@EyeOnStalk @GreenPlusAnE If you bothered to read his book, he specifically states in the first chapter that the goal of the program is to establish a baseline level of strength/technique which can then be carried over into other lift programs
English
I don’t get the hate - Mark Rippetoe never said Starting Strength was a bodybuilding program.
Back in the good old days (2012), men lifted to get strong. Today’s obsession with online aesthetics would have seemed totally foreign.
asparagoid@asparagoid
2026 is the year I undo all the damage “Powerlifting” and Mark Rippetoe did to me No man has harmed more young men than Mark. He turned a whole generation of men into fat unaesthetic >30% bodyfat human pears with huge asses and wide birthing hips He is going to hell

@FightWithMemes Every month I work buys me 2-3 months of no work
English
I've known people unemployed for months at at a time.
How? How is this possible?
Are you eating food? What are you buying it with?
Do you not pay for lodging?
Someone explain this strange magic to me, because I've had to have a job to pay for these things for my whole life.

Lo siento pero voy a ser esa woke: que los hombres siempre cojan más comida o más de todo, tiene mucho que ver con cómo les enseñan a ser los dueños de los espacios y a nosotras a echarnos a un lado, no molestar y pensar en los demás

@nanigambetta @NoSoyJuanan It's probably illegal for Spanish guys to tell you this without jail time but shut the fuck up
English
@NoSoyJuanan Comer mas no significa agarrar un bocado mas grande, se puede comer mas y dando el mismo bocado moderado. No habla de que deben ser iguales cantidades, creo que habla de comer como un desaforado solo porque nunca les ponen limitaciones.

I have indeed been to Norway — I am Norwegian and lived there for 23 years before moving abroad.
I have also lived in the US.
And I can tell you that the quality of life is *far* better in Norway than in the US.
Any quality of life index would tell you the same.
Dan Eastman@DanEastman2023
If you’ve ever been to Norway you’d realize it’s a very lovely place but the people live very utilitarian lives and there is nowhere near the quality of life you find in the US. It’s a nice, basic place to live with no urban turmoil, an homogeneous culture and not a lot of sunlight…

@awpthorp @thelifeofrishi They process payments, they don't market your service for you.

@thelifeofrishi Weird way to frame it.
To pay 17k for 600k seems reasonable

@euromaximal Portuguese people are dumb. They keep voting for the same politicians who keep them poor
English
There are no words to describe the economic failure that is Portugal. It is now almost as poor as Ukraine, a country literally at war.
50 years after a brutal dictatorship, you’d think an economic miracle would’ve followed like Poland and the Baltics. Total incompetence.

@_TheDescendant @_jokeocracy You can lower neuroticism by lifting weights and fighting
English
@_jokeocracy What happens when you have high openness and low agreeability/high disagreeability but have high neuroticism
English
the most high quality far right people combine very high openness with extremely low agreeability and low neuroticism. it estranges you from normies but you can still find your people

@dumbuffalo @adxtyahq Recruiters exist because of this. Hirers don't know how to hire and seekers don't know how to seek
English
No it's not the market.
Every company i know is complaining they can't find devs.
Most devs I know complain they can't find work.
Both of these can not be true.
Recruitment, HR and all the recruitment agencies, AI hiring all of that crap is broken.
Applying to jobs is broken.
Selection is broken.
Interviews are completely broken.
HR is trash 9.9/10 times.
English
A senior engineer created a fake junior dev to test hiring advice.
The profile had:
- good portfolio
- active GitHub
- senior-level projects
- even faked YOE
He ran the experiment in the Netherlands, a country known for its developer shortage.
Applied to 36 jobs and didn’t get a single interview.
The junior dev market is brutal.

@eaglesanalysis1 @BowTiedBull The amount of time, energy, money and overall life that most people waste on sports is astonishing.
Obsessing over atrociously overpaid grown men playing a sport is absurd and pathetic.
I gave up caring about sports about 8 years ago and it’s been fantastic.
English
Normies are really obsessed with sports too, you learn this when your kids make friends and you meet their parents.
It really is a completely different world off this app.
