• A strong, persuasive group leader.
• A high level of group cohesion.
• Intense pressure from the outside to make a good decision

Startup Stock Options – Why a Good Deal Has Gone Bad

An interesting quote:

Valid reasons to work for a startup:

• You are a cofounder.

• You have little experience and you are using this to break into the industry, and get experience on many different > technologies (“wear many hats”).

• They are working on a very specific problem or using a specific technology that you strongly desire to work on and it’s > difficult to do it anywhere else.

• You want to work a certain way (remote, on the beach, whatever) and they are willing to go this route.

Invalid reasons for working at a startup:

• Getting rich off stock options.

• Making a lot of money in salary.

• Work / life balance.

• Stability.

All Remote

The remote manifesto by gitlab.

• All-remote work promotes:

• Hiring and working from all over the world instead of from a central location.

• Flexible working hours over set working hours.

• Writing down and recording knowledge over verbal explanations.

• Written down processes over on-the-job training.

• Public sharing of information over need-to-know access.

• Opening up every document for editing by anyone over top-down control of documents.

• Asynchronous communication over synchronous communication.

• The results of work over the hours put in.

• Formal communication channels over informal communication channels.

Some tools to make this happen:

• Faster internet everywhere - 100Mb/s+ cable, 5GHz Wifi, 4G cellular
• Video call software - Google Hangouts, Zoom
• Mobile technology - Everyone has a computer in their pocket
• Evolution of speech-to-text conversion software - more accurate and faster than typing
• Messaging apps - Slack, Mattermost, Zulip
• Issue trackers - Trello, GitHub issues, GitLab issues
• Suggestions - GitHub Pull Requests, GitLab Merge Requests
• Static websites - GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages
• English proficiency - More people are learning English
• Increasing traffic congestion in cities
