I actually started working on it for last year's NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month; http://nanowrimo.org ) but life happened and it got shelved so I pulled it out again today…

I'm not one of the authors, but the code in question is all in one file: https://github.com/clips/pattern/blob/master/pattern/web/__i... It would be fairly straightforward to add y…

I've been running a few Linodes for the past year with absolutely no complaints. A year isn't a huge sample period, but I am very happy with my experience so far. I can't compare t…

Reddit is open-source ( https://github.com/reddit/reddit ) so yeah, I'll clone it for $4k.

Ahh, I think I may have originally caught you before an edit (or just misread). There is probably more money to be made teaching eg. email marketing for someone in patio11's positi…

I'm not sure that's true. My hypothesis is that we find it easier to meet and communicate with people similar to us, so marketing a product aimed at other developers is an obvious …

Geez, a lot of jerks on HN today. jv22222, thanks for making this. You're obviously putting a lot of work into it. I can't say that it particularly interests me at this point, but …

FWIW, when I was figuring out Bitcoin I avoided the paper at first (due to logic similar to yours) but eventually read it because there was a lot of noise in the wiki, etc (may hav…

That's awesome Roman (it's Roman, right?), I'm looking forward to it! And yes, Black Chair is going to be my full-time gig, although the website is a major work in progress right n…

As a counterpoint to some of the views already expressed, I would happily pay for this. I'm planning to take my freelance/consulting business full time starting January, and have b…

"Science Fiction Condition". What an incredible way of putting it. Thanks for the link!

I had somehow missed that post until now. Thank you so much Ali!

Congrats to the Balsamiq team! To anyone who isn't using Balsamiq yet, do it--an astoundingly useful bit of software. It's difficult to convey just how valuable this tool is for an…

Thanks!

Do you have a link?

patio11, pg, tptacek... who is the fourth? I'm on the lookout for more very high quality contributors; sticking to their feeds instead of the front page (I still check front and ne…
