What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Idiomatic React Testing Patterns

Idiomatic React Testing Patterns

Testing React components seems simple at first. Then you need to test something that isn't a pure interaction and things seem to break down. These 4 patterns should help you write readable, flexible tests for the type of component you are testing.

Setup

I recommend doing all setup in the most functional way possible. If you can avoid it, don't set variables in a beforeEach. This will help ensure tests are isolated and make things a bit easier to reason about. I use a pattern that gives great defaults for each test example but allows every example to override props when needed:

Summary of paper "Key-Value Memory Networks for Directly Reading Documents"

Key-Value Memory Networks for Directly Reading Documents

Introduction

  • Knowledge Bases (KBs) are effective tools for Question Answering (QA) but are often too restrictive (due to fixed schema) and too sparse (due to limitations of Information Extraction (IE) systems).
  • The paper proposes Key-Value Memory Networks, a neural network architecture based on Memory Networks that can leverage both KBs and raw data for QA.
  • The paper also introduces MOVIEQA, a new QA dataset that can be answered by a perfect KB, by Wikipedia pages and by an imperfect KB obtained using IE techniques thereby allowing a comparison between systems using any of the three sources.
  • Link to the paper.

Golang landmines

There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

  1. Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.

ruby blocks and yield explained by a bloc mentor

The following is an explanation of Ruby blocks and yield by another Bloc mentor (Adam Louis) who was trying to explain it to one of his students.

On my very first day programming, if someone asked me for "the sum of the numbers from 1 to 10", I'd have written:

puts 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10

Easy enough.

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption
