So I know that we generally believe that titles are meaningless, but my role at the startup I'm working at (~30 people) is expanding and I've been given a chance to submit some ide…

Having interned in SF last summer, I would definitely recommend that you take as much time as you can to meet other people, especially those outside your company. The best way to d…

As a younger person that these types of articles are so fond of talking about (I'm 21), I don't agree that members of my generation are leaving and that we don't perceive Facebook …

I'd definitely say a t-shirt if you can afford them. I have t-shirts from multiple hackathons and wear them all the time. They get far more mileage than any sticker or pen I've rec…

I use Evernote every day at school. It fills just about all of my needs. The only place where it struggles is when I need to write out math. In those cases I'll usually just use pe…

I just bought a MBP 15-inch retina display with a 2.3GHz i7, 8 gigs of 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM, 256GB Flash Storage, and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. What about t…

You could also buy a refurbished mac. They tend to be about $300 cheaper than the retail version and tend not to have any problems. I just bought one and so far its been perfect. h…

OP here, I'd just like to point out I'm a real person who submitted the article on my own volition.

Wow this is an incredibly extensive list. Definitely wouldn't have thought of little things like a safe or acoustic panels for calls. Well done!

Definitely signed up for this. Should be really interesting.

I'm curious as to why they wouldn't include lessons on the Facebook and Twitter APIs. I would think that would be a primary example of APIs to be familiar with.

For my entire life, I've always loved science. It was never a doubt for me that I wanted to study science in school. But when I got to school, I was accepted into an accelerated ho…

I was dead set on becoming a neuroseurgeon. Spent all of high school taking science classes. Majored in Neuroscience for my first year and a half of college, decided I hated everyt…

The big thing with poke/snapchat is that they send pictures that aren't stored anywhere and can only be viewed for a few seconds, after which they are inaccessible. This makes it e…

I'm a college student, so I use it to take notes in all of my classes. Since it all syncs between devices and I can access it from the web, I have access to my notes wherever I am …
