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).

An actual solution, for those breaking vim/macvim after "brew cleanup".

This will work if the current python is not the one your current vim/gvim/mvim is not linked to, check your vim and macvim version info (these might be separate homebrew packages), also make sure you update our brew so you'd use the latest packages:

Types

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.
