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

In my experience, a disproportionate amount of bugs in NetLogo models are caused by the mismanagement of global variables.

Here are a few reasons why I think that is the case, in (roughly) decreasing order of importance:

• Code is not just a way of getting the computer to do what you want it to do—it is a way of conveying meaning to the reader of your code. When you declare a global variable, the meaning you convey is: “Hey! This thing is important throughout the whole program. You should always be paying attention to it.”

  Sometimes it’s justified , but very often, it is not. An unjustified global is not only failing to convey the right message: it’s actively misleading.

When I approach a model’s code for the first time, the first thing I do is look at the declarations on top: what breeds do we have, what agent variables do we have, and what global variables do we have? That gives me the “big picture” and tells me what I should be paying attention to when trying to understand what the code is do

tmux cheat sheet

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a
