For decades, as a career mentor, I've strongly advised (younger) folks to quickly learn how to 'avoid experts who have forgotten what its like to be a beginner.'

I will now adopt 'Toxic Experts' in to my teaching mantras.

thank you for posting this!

@vfxGer, Thank you so much for including # of Employees!!! Its so undervalued.

Backstory: At my jobsite, there was an amazing seminar called the 'One Day MBA' taught by Prof Noah Barsky from Villanova University; an Saturday 8 hr intense lifehack/bootcamp on how to properly read and analyze required SEC 10-K filings of major companies. He boiled it down for technical folks. https://ims-online.com/outline/ONE-DAY-MBA-Mastering-the-Fun...

The most insightful thing, Barsky intentionally brought up a depressing metric: [Market Cap / # of Employees] = 'Avg value of each employee') (or for the more anal folks, [Annual Revenue / # of Employees] = 'Avg value each employee brings in, whatever floats your boat'.)

Sad fact! Contrast that with your current salary and you'll immediately realize how terribly under paid you are as a worker drone...

Also, Barsky explained you want to invest in companies with trending high 'net income' and high 'Avg value of each employee'.

And that's what Karl Marx tried to explain to the public, but we are not ready to have that revealing conversation...

Back to the beginning, again, thank you for including 'per employee value'. I would love to discuss and collab with you more on this.

Lastly, thank you for https://bigwhalehunting.com/graph/, graphing the incestuous nature of board of directors.

wow, I've learned so much from your post, owe you big time!

Who hurt you?

I was wondering that too!

Oh Wow, I wonder if this experiment would yield similar results outside San Francisco, hmmm?

I fondly remember trying to angel invest in BioPure, thank you for the flashback!

Thank you for referencing his idiot behavior leading to his own demise, I hope that will be on his coin.

Thank you for stating this. Its annoying to hear free education = bad in all subtle forms.

Wonderful.

fancy and interesting, thx for sharing.

2 points of brilliant insight:

-"Instead of code and interfaces, we have processes and expectations. (By hiring career engineering managers, industry norms are imported. Firing a low performer may be a quick solution to a bigger underlying problem, deferred for the next manager.")

-This year, Meta laid off all their engineering managers that don’t code. It’s the same move that Google pulled 20 years ago, spawning Maps, Chrome and Gmail.

Coupling >> Seinfeld I cannot agree more.

In some alternate reality, D.B. Cooper became the Unabomber.

I first learned about it in 2021 from this badass eloquent education explainer on TikTok, @CapWithoutaCountry.

I read somewhere that Frank Abagnale Jr. is the father of The Barefoot Bandit (Colton Harris Moore) & US Rep George Santos...

Fraud runs in the family.

Yep I second that, use Privacy.com (free!) to issue a virtual credit card. I use it all the time to secure all my online transactions.

@px43, </Brilliant Black Mirror Plot Twist>

I concur, their yt channel of 100s video series is succinct.

I must concur, imperfect Concur is a major improvement from the past systems of doing travel expenses.

Solution, allow doctors and surgeons time off from bday!

Ethics in AI, a long hard road toward progress. I'm glad the fight isn't over.

And...?

Good catch, dfxm12!

Хорошо!!!
