Preferably official webcasts, but any kind of video of the lecture would be good. I've done some googling and couldn't find any, but maybe someone in this crowd has a source. Also …

so painfully true =(

Thanks, I agree that lawyers can quickly escalate the situation. His email to me was already pretty hostile, but I am trying to keep it cool unless there is no alternative.

It's not, I deployed everything live, and he has access to everything.

Hi HN, I'm in a sticky situation now and thought I'd reach out and see what you would do. I did about 3 months of work (and managed several contractor jobs) as a technical cofounde…

I can't find any list of prerequisites for this class, though their FAQ https://www.ai-class.com/registration/faq implies that there are some. Does anyone know if this class is noo…

Hi HN, sorry if the question has been asked before, I'm kind of new here. I'm wondering where you (i.e. reader of HN) go to find part-time or contract work. I have been hiring usin…

Hi HN, I was wondering if anyone has good recommendations for platforms to build data driven business-oriented mobile apps on. Or, is native the best way to go? Or, is HTML5 the be…

Hi HN, I know most people here are programmers, and also sorry to use the term web 2.0 if that offends anyone. I've been having a hard time finding a part time graphic designer who…

Thanks, my team is going to try out project turf for its 2 week trial, and then re-evaluate. so far so good (all I did was add tasks, but basecamp failed that test...)

I'm looking for a web-based project management suite that works well for software development projects. I just started using BaseCamp, and I'm really not impressed with the user in…

When I saw the domain name, I thought it would be about bughouse. Great app nonetheless!

It's a nifty experience when you're browsing the web and come across a blog that uses the same exact wordpress template that you do... ( http://allanchao.com/blog/ )

Unrelated to autocorrection, but my little rant. If I type fast Google instant only catches the first half of what I type. I don't know what kind of javascript runs instant but it …

This is not directly related to your programming concern, but you might find the article useful. Paul Graham's Why to Not Not Start a Startup: http://paulgraham.com/notnot.html

No comment on the contents of the article, but (1) inaccurate article title (see below) and (2) incredible hard-to-read web design. "I realize I might take some heat for lumping wo…

It's interesting that in a different article, I think it's Sequoia that said something along the lines of "something as revolutionary as this comes around once a decade. It's the n…

"If the mistake had been discovered, the company might have been bankrupted, he said." ... "At the time, I felt like a hero," he said. Tough choice. On the one hand, you have your …

I use Quickbooks 2011 desktop. It's pretty 1995 when it comes to user interface, but it actually does everything I need and want, and I wouldn't move without very good reason. It h…

It may be hard for you to find a job directly. A lot of lower level positions are filled by temp agencies. I would recommend looking into that. Think of a temp agency like an inter…

Two points. First, yes you are getting screwed. I pay developers in south asia more than you are getting paid here in the US. Please no flaming about that - it's relevant because t…

Sorry, but usually idea is worth virtually nothing. Having been a technical co-founder before and now the business founder, I've been on both sides of the coin. Unless you have act…

That means it's been approved
