Why not Kotlin?

Kotlin becomes very popular, takes a significant part in backend development.

REQ because its a simple yet huge idea, it's not a cryptocurrency per se, but a service backed on the blockchain. FUN because it solves a real problem (lack of trust in online gamb…

Check the paragraph about Freeloading in their whitepaper

NFC on the phone. I thought it would revolutionise lots of things. Turns out it took 10 years longer than I expected and is just a "fun" feature for now.

I'm seeing diminished returns of my HN consultation. Also, the hive mind developed here is quite strong and sometimes you can predict the general sentiment of the comment thread. I…

I'm a complete financial idiot. As in, I only have money on a government-guaranteed fund in my bank. Where do I start to know more about this? I dont want it to stress me out thoug…

I think I'm going to stop reading any article about what it's like to run a company, until I actually create and run my next one. Does anyone feel like reading articles has reached…

How easy is it to plug to native Android API? Any way you can just use this engine as a View in your already existing Android native app? (like with LibGDX)

As a software developer in EU, sometimes I find it absurd that I'm only paid 2x as much as the average office drone for which the company would see no difference if their departmen…

I really enjoyed this article. Any news aggregator where I can find similar articles? (HN for marketing?)

I have 6-12 months saved up. I guess I could do part time but I feel like I have to go all-in on my app for it to be a success.

I worry about not being brave enough to quit my day job (developer) and develop the app that I KNOW would be successful if executed properly. Also, not being able to build a family…

I'm a mobile senior software engineer at a startup. How can I jump into product management? I founded a startup previously so I can say I have a strong product vision, and I can ju…

I thought of KEK40 as soon as I saw the title. On a side not, I'm interested in the potential of meme magic although It's completely esoteric and goes against hyper-rational HN spi…

I'm surprised so many people are missing the satire here. Very funny article. In a modern world focused on the self, this is what you eventually get. Our lives are too comfortable.…

After failing at taking my startup off the ground, I just started working for a "normal" company (read: startup that actually raised serious series A, has nice and lofty offices, a…

Philosopher

I'm still trying to figure out the ideal lifestyle. When you work remotely, it gets boring after a while not being able to socialize. When you have to go to work every day, it gets…

Unfortunately we're not there yet. It's doable if you negociate it with your local small-midsized company.

After having spent some time in SF in the whole "startup ecosysem", my dream is now to run a 100% boostrapped business, totally location-independant.

I for one am tired of the whole "startup culture", the term is over used. I'm starting to think startups are a meme pushed by the VC industry.

I'd be curious to know the difference between the 2, especially for a french citizen.

I agree as well. I find it bordeline cringey to see how other countries try to imitate "SV culture". it's one thing to be inspired by something, and no question we should all admir…

I's also a cultural one, at least regarding the developers. The status of the developer is still considered lower as middle management. It's slowly changing though, as developers a…
