Erlich kept his Prorata Investment Rights in Grindr allowing him to keep his 10% share as more investors started also investing their money on the application.

The widely accepted incorporation structure in Silicon Valley. It allows the most flexibility for entrepreneurs and investors putting their money in newer tech driven companies.
Aref was so disgusted by our Florida LLC incorporation that he decided to pull his money out of our company based on sheer incompetence. I was able to win him over by telling him that Facebook once made the same mistake.

When companies use their own products, often in beta, to test and work out any bugs.
Dogfooding often results in companies catching glitches in their apps before they're released to the public.
"They really should have dogfooded that app before they released it — there were so many bugs!"

"Don't worry if you don't hear from me this weekend — I'm doing a digital detox, so I won't see your message until Monday."
iamDeveloper almost 9 years agoBricked
A piece of hardware that doesn’t function anymore because it was tampered with.
You seriously messed up that upgrade, and now your entire device has been rendered useless.

To call out or threaten to call out a company on social media and have it actually mean something due to your popularity
I know my performance at work hasn't been the best but I think firing me is a little too drastic. Now you know I have 300,000 followers on Twitter. I don't like to do it but I will tswift the company if you don't change your mind.

The Raspberry Pi is a series of credit card-sized single-board computers developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. They are tiny computers often used in Hackathons to make cool stuff.
Zeeshan: I used a Raspberry Pi to build a Google Glass that could emulate Game Boy Advance games.
Matt: Why would anyone want something like that.
Zeeshan: Lord knows but it won a prize at this Hackathon.
yungsnuggie almost 9 years agoI Could've Built That Fallacy
The fallacy in which someone believes that they were capable of building something before an already more popular version of a product has come out.
In many instances this fallacy is contained by engineers working at companies or in academia in an indirect attempt to belittle the success of founders, claiming how trivial it is to build said app. It can also be a feeble attempt to make up for their unrealized internal inferiority complex. In reality they might have been able to code it, but not conceive it's details, key features, and brand identity.
George suffered from the I could've built that fallacy for weeks after Snapchat received an offer from Facebook for over a billion dollars in talked about acquisition. He built his own version while working at Google, but it only had 5 users. He was happy he didn't quit his day job.

Imagineer
A term given to creative people employed at Pixar and Disney. When engineers say that they are imagineers, people tend to figure out they work at Pixar and a part of their soul dies after digesting what they've said.
Justin: I'm a software engineer at TubeMogul. What do you do?
Dave: Well I'm glad you asked! I'm an IMAGINEER at Pixar...wait where are you going?
