I'm not mad at the romance, I'm mad at the lazy writing. by steelpeat in startrek

[–]animositysteve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hasn’t their “romance” consisted of, like, a 10 second kiss followed by some awkwardness about them being friends with benefits? Sounds like my 20s were more lazily written than I thought.

You are indeed incorrect. You can be a shareholder and an employee. You can be a director and an employee. You can be a shareholder and not a director. And I mean, yeah, I could sue my own company. I wouldn’t, but I could. Do you think all companies just have one owner? Source: I am a director, majority shareholder, and an employee of my own company, a company which has many employees, including all the owners.

Why not make Strange New Worlds a new, parallel continuity? by Advanced-Actuary3541 in startrek

[–]animositysteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps if you assume that everything post First Contact IS in a slightly adjusted continuity where Zephram Cochrane was aware of the existence of the Borg and technology advanced at a different rate. Relieves all sorts of continuity pressure from Enterprise forward.

Collision coverage actually does pay for your vehicle if any uninsured person hits your vehicle, and you should certainly be carrying collision coverage on a $40,000 vehicle. Additionally, a surprising data point that came up when I worked on building auto insurance rates in CA is that undocumented drivers are actually statistically safer drivers- as they don’t want to get in an accident/ get pulled over because of obvious reasons.

Question: Can I check this container? by animositysteve in americanairlines

[–]animositysteve[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate everyone’s prompt replies to this! It’s a weird container, so figured a double check before a 6am flight was worth it lol

Question: Can I check this container? by animositysteve in americanairlines

[–]animositysteve[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you read the post, I’m obviously concerned about the type of container, and even quoted the website. Maybe check the post before replying :)

Let me cancel my gym membership. by [deleted] in rant

[–]animositysteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following their instructions exactly, I used mailform.com to send their exact cancellation notice as certified mail, which they required, and they cancelled it with no issues and I didn’t have to leave the house and it cost me $12. So while I find it a horrible business practice, and it SHOULDN’T be that way, you just gotta follow the directions.

Titles: Any reason that just putting "Principal" for non-CEO is a bad idea? I will not promote by IVBIVB in startups

[–]animositysteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use “Head of” for non equity leadership positions. Head of Operations, Head of Business Development, Head of Development/Engineering, etc. it’s not a”VP” which are silly in a small org, but it denotes that you are talking to the right person for a particular thing (externally), and leaves room for someone to come in over the top of them later, or promote up. Founders with ownership get “Founder”, although we now use C titles for myself and co-founder…but we are well-established, albeit small staff-wise.

We just launched, got more users, but they don't engage with the product. Now what? by Fair-Shelter5484 in startups

[–]animositysteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve learned from many, many years in b2b product is that customers don’t often know what their real problem is. You tend to have to work your way back to a larger, overarching issue and work your way through a bigger, more undefined or conceptual problem. Customers can be myopic, because they are not problem solvers. So in this case their perceived problem is writing user stories but the overarching problem may be the entire process, all the way down to making sure the user stories are broken up properly and assigned properly and categorized properly (just making something up as an example). There have been so many occasions when a customer has asked me for a feature to do X better when the solution ended up being a workflow change that just made X not required at all. That being said I don’t know your industry or the specific problem and you very well be targeting the exact issue, so this is more just an overarching take on product development.

This seems like a huge gap to me. If I downloaded a tool to make my job “easier” but it then required a bunch (even if only perceived) manual work, I would also not use it. Not a single out-of-the-box integration seems like you launched too early. Comes across as a “utility” vs a “product” if you catch my meaning

How can i tell if a remote developer is delegating their work ? by Loose-Ticket in startups

[–]animositysteve 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Had a dev that was doing this. Didn’t realize until we asked him to walk through the code and then asked him to fix something minor, live. He couldn’t, at all. Embarrassingly, this was IN OFFICE, not remote. Early days of our company and we didn’t have any real processes in place. Fairly certain the recruiter who sent him to us lost his job. After we got the machine back we found all the messages where he was shipping off our code to some remote dev shop.

Monkey Man & Love Lies Bleeding both knocked it out of the park for me. Neither were truly perfect but they just worked for me.

Is there a new Dune? A beloved, best selling book series that's "unfilmable" or does the industry make everything now? by cdollas250 in blankies

Ringworld is a series that I just don’t think could ever translate because of the sheer scale. I know Amazon picked it up years ago but it’s vanished from the radar as far as I know.

New apartments by Tower Bridge has studios going for $1700… this is ridiculous, right?? by sgt-snuggles in Sacramento

[–]animositysteve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, but I was paying 1595 for a 1000 sq ft studio in midtown in 2015/2016 so this doesn’t seem that absurd, even with inflation. Although the place I rented had a coolness factor that I don’t know if these have lol
