Interesting product and projects, amazing work life balance, generally good people
Uninspiring leadership, terrible middle management, massive bureaucracy considering company size, CEO is completely unqualified and demotivating, awful product prioritization, rampant technical debt, and no real decision making capability by ICs or line managers. Things used to be better, but culture and company has been on a steady decline.
Reddit has hostile and aggressive users who attack as a group and downvote posts who share opposing views even when it has valid points So they share the post link with others and then coordinate downvotes What kinda sick behavior is this?

Stop asking me to login to watch prawn content, I don't want to login. Show some mercy, let us do our thing without having to login each time. By the time I use my login credentials on an incognito window I lose interest and excitement. If you don't stop throwing that login page, some mad billionai...Read more
I follow some hobby groups and my local community pages on Reddit. It’s all just noise though I had to delete the app. Who are these people arguing on Reddit all day 😂 Location based groups are always a shit show online so can’t hate too much there but even Facebook groups are a much higher qualit...Read more

@better.com any thoughts? #severance #layoff #ceo #mortgage #vishalgarg
It looks like Blind does not store information so that it can identify users but I find it hard to believe that it has no way to trace back the author of a post in case they have a demand from law enforcement agencies. Won’t it be same with Reddit except that the employees *might* be able to identi...Read more
Is Twitter becoming the next Facebook or Myspace or Orkut? Note - This is not a statement. Also, whatever is the trend, users of both Reddit and Twitter are actually consistently increasing.
And I am more happy/proud with it than what I do at work. I wish I could win the Lottery so that I can just focus on small projects like these. Maybe I’m just burned out. Before you ask, yes, it’s great for porn especially if the user posts the same pic on different subreddits as it eliminates dupe...Read more

How ironic. Is there a single molecule of Aaron left in reddit? http://www.wired.com/2016/03/reddit-warrant-canary-hints-it-got-a-national-security-letter/
Seems to be very similar to blind, just without company verification. Do any of you use it? I'm considering making an account to post/read there, in addition to Blind.
It seems like all posts and comments from new accounts are auto-hidden and you either need an older account or more karma points for your posts and comments to show up, but how do you gather these points if no one can see what you're posting? Can someone explain this? I know it's to combat trolls, b...Read more

Is everything on the internet fake?
Seriously, you go on Reddit and everyone acts like they are perfect and make zero mistakes in life. Anyone who makes a mistake they act like some moral judge to them. Yet, whenever one goes on camera for an interview or something else, it turns out the leaders of Reddit (mods) are often just baseme...Read more
Reddit sells API calls to companies like Apollo. Apollo sells an app based on that API, and users pay a couple of bucks to Apollo for it. They use the app to read their fave subreddits. Reddit announce they’re hiking up the price of the API calls. Reddit limits the API calls so they can’t access po...Read more
