I'd take this further and add that you should always be doing something wrong in the pursuit of more than just code. As a novice programmer you can spin your wheels learning every …

Good idea. Does that Cinema Display on their homepage also look odd to anyone else? https://d2221r371oqwhn.cloudfront.net/assets/feature-image-b...

I second, works great.

This article came across as offensive. Honestly if a company is actively classifying people as losers, it's not really the type of company I'd like to work at. A better hiring poli…

btguard.com is pretty much this. But you need to pay for it, because getting decent speed requires some servers.

Those facts kind of debunked any point the article was making. Interesting look on the past perhaps.

Creating a more appealing activity for girls seems like a good step. An even better step might be trying to fix perceptions regarding the engineering centric activities out there f…

There's a startup campus in SOMA. Bunk-bed dorm style, mostly devs + startupers, $35/night if they still have space (I think they're almost filled with the Disrupt coming up). I've…

This seemed like a curious enough question I had that followed from the original Valve Flat Org HN post. I imagined others might share my curiosity. It's possible no Valve employee…

Me too. Bobby tables is classic. http://xkcd.com/327/

Really not clear what this is...

Yes, but including a lot of unexperienced investors actually increases the risk of failure. The distraction alone (in time spent managing these investors) might be the death of any…

A better summary is needed. I quit out when the beginning ad-speak didn't wrap up in 2 minutes.

Pretty cool, just that sad smtp error at the end.

Yeah, providing services can often feel a bit fruitless, mostly because scaling services are a lot harder than scaling a simple product. I'd advise you to at least focus in on a ni…

I wonder how this shortage will be solved. There's some cool solutions coming out in response to the dev shortage- for example, CodeYear. Perhaps similar resources will emerge for …
