I am eager to join a dynamic team tackling challenging yet thrilling technical projects, with a keen interest in early-stage or scaling ventures. Open to offers emphasizing equity over cash compensation.

Thank you, it seems to be an incredible resource, really appreciate you sharing this.

Thank you, you are totally correct; we are living 50 years after, and those pipelines are different. I tried, without great success, to create perspective in a very one-sided thread.

This link is interesting indeed. While there was some fair criticism of this study, I do agree with the conclusion:

"I agree that blind auditions can make sense—even if they do not have the large effects claimed in that 2000 paper, or indeed even if they have no aggregate relative effects on men and women at all."

On the importance of de-gendering the recruitment process, I have a parallel to submit with a discipline I know well, the professional classical music industry.

A few decades ago, it was commonly thought that the brain of women couldn't understand music. "Women have other preferences," "Their brains are not made for that." If it reminds you of some rhetoric seen here and there, trust your instincts.

Here is what happened in the 70s, using extracts from the book "Blindspot":

"In 1970, fewer than 10 percent of the instrumentalists in America's major symphony orchestras were women, and women made up less than 20 percent of new hires."

"Starting in the 1970s, several major American symphony orchestras experimented with a new procedure that involved interposing a screen between the auditioning instrumentalists and the committee, leaving the applicants audible but not visible to the judges."

"The next twenty years provided interesting evidence. After the adoption of blind auditions, the proportion of women hired by major symphony orchestras doubled—from 20 percent to 40 percent."

Fun fact: those blind auditions didn't start because of gender ethics; they began because the classical music industry was rife with clannishness and nepotism at all levels, which gave the incitive for orchestras to limit the impact from influential professors.

It was a fascinating story. The simple notion that you could bootstrap, with very few assets, a car company a century ago feels almost alien.

It makes me wonder what technology we consider today"bootstrapable" that will be impossible to start in a century.

I have seen this documentary a few years ago and still think about it on a monthly basis or whenever someone refers about Chinese workers. Really impactful.

He was an crisis negotiator focused on situation where hostages are taken. You don’t go around asking for half an hostage.

I noticed those last few months that the update cycle of Framer was slower, all while they recruited strong developers. I supposed something big was brewing and I wasn’t wrong. Can’t wait to see Framer take on the current product designers quintessentials problems with the tools available to them.

Thank you for doing that, I (and probably others) really appreciate.

Working on the new financial reporting requirements and preparing my financial courses startup.

About their sales strategy.

Pre were available in Europe very very late. 4th quarter 2009 I think and it still not available to some countries.

As a previous Palm user, I was really waiting to play woth the Pre, but the need of a new smartphone and the new android devices closed the deal.
