Likewise. I enjoyed my time there (well, until this blog post wound up on my radar!), but after a year it was time for me to go, so I resigned without much in the way of hard feelings.
I'm not at all pleased to discover today that we (and many like us) are now being painted as "disruptive," "miserable," and ultimately crappy employees. Expensify has just taken themselves from "Not what I ultimately wanted, but a good experience that I'd recommend to most folks who fit their model" to "company I'll actively steer people away from if they asked me."
I struggle and fail to understand the point of this blog post; did someone think this would be well received? Do they think it makes them look better than the average company? Is there now an internal sense of "achievement unlocked" that thrills them when the rest of the industry sees this as abhorrent? Their GlassDoor reviews are starting to seem a lot more ominous lately as well.
If you take a look at NetFlix, another company whose culture speaks to "top performers or get out," there's always been a sense that people who've left are still great people / employees. When someone leaves (voluntarily or not), the consensus and messaging becomes that it just wasn't a good fit, and they stand behind their former employees as being fantastic hires elsewhere.
This entire blog series / ad campaign just comes across as either profoundly deluded, or a desperate cry for attention.
Sure, but most CEO's tend to determine exactly what their public-facing position IS before speaking. In this case he looks the fool as they're walking back his statements.
It wasn't mentioned because we only launched Docker for AWS and Docker for Azure. We only had the bandwidth to ship 2 versions at the level of quality we wanted, so we picked the most frequently requested providers. I think GCE is a great candidate for the next batch of releases. It all depends on demand. Would you use it?
I wonder what the cultural implications are if this passes. Someone generally expects their peer group to make within ~20% of what they make, not "2x."
At least one log parsing tool I've seen in years past was vulnerable to log injection attacks. Hilarious proof of concept to own a box by way of PTR record.
I haven't checked to see whether fail2ban suffers from this model or not.
Pretty much "as a cautionary tale" is as far as I see it going. They pretty clearly fabricated results; in the healthcare field, this is the kiss of death.
Yeah and the threat of banning Holmes from the industry pretty stern. I'm surprised that the word "fraud" hasn't been used by the investigating bodies yet.
It throws you on the street; now what's next for you?
