    There is not currently a way to specify the way tests are split across machines or the order. We're working on a solution but it hasn't been a problem yet for our current users. Or…

    You're right - we're currently focused on large code bases with tests that take a few minutes or more. If your tests run in a second, there isn't much we can do for you. Good idea …

    That's a good point. We've been thinking about how to express the speedup more clearly. This is super helpful.

    Just something to consider - there were at least two TechStars 08 teams that had summer interns that they have hired as employees. Granted, they worked more than 15 hours per week …

    (Disclosure: I'm one of the founders of Devver, one of the TechStars 08 companies) I think that some of the variables will likely need to be adjusted (for example, 15 hours per wee…

    My cofounder and I have long agreed that most big company IP agreements suck (we've written about it at http://devver.net/blog/2008/08/looking-for-your-first-cs-job-be-sure-to-own-…

    Ask HN: Any recommended companies that can do security audits for startups?

    I'm wondering whether or not a professional security audit would be a good investment. While we're working hard to build a very secure system, I think an outside perspective could …
