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

Implementing a Reverse Polish notation calculator in Ruby

A couple weeks ago I had a go at implementing an RPN calculator in Ruby. I knew I wanted the calculator to function by popping operands out of an array populated with the values of the input expression, operating upon the operands with the appropriate operator, and pushing the result back into the stack of operands.

I was able to implement this in version 1, but it took forever and the resulting code was not very beautiful. Why?

• I started coding before I had a thorough understanding of RPN

  Wait, 20 10 5 4 + * - is what now?

  # <code>:path_only</code>, which will generate an absolute path within
  # the current domain (the default), or <code>:full_url</code>, which will
  # include the site name and port number.  The latter is typically necessary
  # for links in RSS feeds.  Example usage:

  #   link_to "/foo" # Returns "http://example.com/myapp/foo"
