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

A type is a collection of possible values. An integer can have values 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.; a boolean can have values true and false. We can imagine any type we like: for example, a HighFive type that allows the values "hi" or 5, but nothing else. It's not a string and it's not an integer; it's its own, separate type.
Statically typed languages constrain variables' types: the programming language might know, for example, that x is an Integer.
In that case, the programmer isn't allowed to say x = true; that would be an invalid program.
The compiler will refuse to compile it, so we can't even run it.
ledger comes with a built in budget system, but I wanted to get an “envelope”, or “YNAB” style budget working. While this was easy to do in theory, in practice it proved more difficult. The theory is pretty simple; enevelope budgeting merely requires you to create some new accounts to keep track of each “envelope” of money. But in practice, it requires a huge amount of duplicate data-entry, because even when using ledger’s automatic transactions, because each month’s budget is mostly the same but not necessarily exactly the same.The following
