    This looks great! As a Founder, I probably spend 70-80% of my time on email. Would be nice to see how effective they are. How long does it take to figure out what I should be doing…

    Depends on your development cycle, but this is one area that startups should have an advantage over bigger competitors. We got copied on a few things (logo, tagline, product) by a …

    More cities will have to consider cycling infrastructure if they want to have happy and healthy residents. We're finally seeing changes in major American cities and it's great!

    Bryce just replied on Twitter to say it's an OATV thing, so not just him. I wonder how that affects follow-on investment if the company needed it.

    Thanks for writing this up. It amazes me that companies (particularly startups) spend so much to recruit great people and then let them sink or swim. The first 30/60/90 days for a …

    Great post that outlines what goes into a job offer negotiation. Each situation is different, so it's good to get a second opinion if you can. This is where recruiters or (gasp!) H…

    Wonder how this came up today, these guys have been around since 2008, or a year before I started my three wheeler "car" company. I am surprised to see they have one that runs, but…

    I like the metaphor, and I'll extend it by saying you want to assemble the best dance crew you can find!

    This would have been a great app, instead of just rehashed games.

    This sounds like a pretty cool product. Just wish I had it when I went on vacation last week.

    Condolences for your loss Diego. I think your post best sums up what I call "life's work". We are lucky when we find it. And I need to call my Dad.

    This was such a great talk. The best comment was from the Professor when someone in the audience asked about being a single founder.

    Thanks for all the support HN! We're excited to get the app live on the App Store, just have to deal with some paperwork first. Also, if you are getting a 405 error on signup, you …

    The Zynga thing is an inside joke. :) We are starting in SV, but hope to get enough interest to launch in other areas as well.

    Not much of a story, we posted it around 3pm and had the top spot for a few hours. It was exhilarating! There are quite a few proximity apps, but we definitely don't want to be cre…

    The app works for tea time too. :) Happy to hear people like the concept as much as we do.

    Love this! The app should be used by Coders who just want to help other Coders too. Thanks for this Andrew, we've got a lot of work ahead of us.

    Sorry, but that job title probably won't fit. ;) We use whatever title you're using on LinkedIn when you login to the app. Also, see below re: 'artificer' as a word. grumble code g…
