folks at atlassian (hipchat) are already doing this...it depends which markets one pursuing...slack and hipchat are totally on different scale. Atlassian even didn't make hipchat user numbers public during IPO proceedings

The best way to prepare for interviews is to understand completely what you have worked on; be it internship or hobby project. Communicating clearly what you have learned is the best thing you can exhibit. Rest can be learned

This feels like giving copy of all your important data and then searching using third party tool because somehow my workflow/information is not ORGANIZED, if something is important I'll hunt it down where it BELONGS. Can someone please help me understand why it is not a problem?

I think you shouldn't be hellbent on what you want to do till you enter other half of your twenties...I was not sure what do I really want to do for lifetime job and sticking to one thing is boring...socializing is kind of exploration. one shouldn't completely avoid it.

I don't think the advice was to avoid socializing. I think it's just to spend time socializing with people who care about or share values with.

The article didn't say how you're supposed to find those people in the first place though. I guess it assumes you were concentrating on pleasing others until this point, and have been exposed to different groups already.

a lot like what they did in "Atlas Shrugged"

Unfortunately, that only worked because Galt personally selected a small and virtuous population (recall that Dagny actively tried not to become the beneficiary of govt subsidies early in the book). In the real world, I don't think it would be possible to keep rent seekers out.

In the real world, virtuous vs rent-seeking is most often a matter of timing: circumstances change, people change with them.

Not sure about the smaller one, although it looks kinda familiar.

The "Minimum Functionalities expected" certainly looks like something a government bureaucrat wrote. "4. Unzip tool for unzipping zip files." in the same list as "10. Cloud computing option."
