Today, Brad Feld gives us some excellent information on the product/market fit question. On Blind Five Year Old, AJ Kohn shows us how our desire to believe can be affected by marketing. There are two job related posts to look at as well. A geek with a hat rants on how programmers tend to get recruited and the various issues with that process. Brendan Gregg shows us the complete opposite with his story of getting hired by Netflix.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
