michaelshoe··on Ask HN: Should I Stay or Should I Go? Insights Needed for Series A Startup
Just like the right answer to "when should I let this person go?" is the first time the idea of firing him crosses your mind, maybe the right answer to this situation is the same: You should be looking for a new opportunity and move on the first time that idea crosses your mind...

When you think something is off, it usually is... and waiting on it will not change its trajectory.

michaelshoe··on Life Inside the Busiest Airport [video]
Interesting. I've always wondered why it is Atlanta, not NYC or Chicago or LA, that grabbed the title of the busiest airport. One thing is that most other large cities have more than one airport... that it's like not totally fair to compare. Another is that Atlanta has Delta Airlines which calls Atlanta home. And also the location of Atlanta has very few competitors in the city's vicinity (250 miles).
michaelshoe··on What MBA Specializations Do T20 Business Schools Provide?
15 of the top 20 MBA programs provide some sorts of specializations. Yet HBS, Stanford don't. On the other hand Wharton provides 20...

Should this affect people's decisions where to apply to and where to go to? Or it's just the schools trying to differentiate themselves...

michaelshoe··on Top CEOs have this degree
There are definitely assumptions involved in writing this piece:

My definition of "business degrees" were: Business(incl. biz mgmt/biz admin, etc.) + Accounting (11) + finance (5) = 32

"Engineering degrees" were: Everything with engineering in the name of the degree = 23

So for the time being, there are more CEOs with college business degrees than those with engineering degrees. If you separate accounting and finance from business, then the story is reversed.

However, I also did notice that the average age of the CEOs is 60 and the mean is 61; things may have changed now.

It will be interesting to see the backgrounds of some more recent founders of successful startup, etc.
