    Just like the author, I wanted to read and write more. As I'm taking a year long sabbatical, I just started writing (badly) at https://www.gaurav.io/blog/ . The idea is to write a …

    Congrats to the Laravel team, and Accel too! I feel they've got a winner on their hands. Laravel has single handedly made PHP development cool again, and the way they did that was …

    Can someone please explain why this is a high quality welding job? In India, welders are not paid handsomely and are rarely rigorously trained but I'm unable to distinguish between…

    Long term HN user @ezekg also runs this https://keygen.sh/ if that might suit your needs (i.e. if you want to separate out licensing logic from the payment logic)

    I work for a globally remote organisation, so I voluntarily took the on-call rota for the last week of the year. This way, my colleagues can enjoy Xmas with their families without …

    Personally, I have learnt I do not have a moral compass strong enough to outweigh the consequences that come with being a whistleblower. I'm very grateful such people exist, though…

    Is this US/location dependent? I'm an ACM member from India and I've not received any such communication.

    I don't have anything to add to finding a solution to your problem, but I think you're not alone and a lot of people have this exact same feeling. Relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/86…
