This is a very un-HN-like comment, but... In 2014, I was working at Homejoy (RIP), and started hanging out w/ this guy I sorta knew from college. We were reintroduced at Mission Cl…

I live in SF but was in New Zealand just 9 days ago. At the time, there were 6 confirmed cases and NZ had already put in place a 14-day self-isolation policy for travelers. Seeing …

No worries! I'm sorry to hear you were laid off, but am glad you aren't taking it personally and understand the reasoning behind what was certainly a difficult and painful decision…

I'm the founder of Key Values, which helps software engineers find teams that share their values. Not only do I live in the Bay Area and have many founder friends, but it is also m…

If socializing feels uncomfortable at first, but rewarding after, then it sounds like it's a good thing to "force" yourself to do. But if you're doing it just because you think you…

I didn't read the book the OP quotes, but it rings true to me on many levels. While happiness doesn't guarantee success, it sure has hell makes it easier to work hard! The darkest …

Aw shucks, thanks for saying so! :) And if by regular you mean once a year, your wish may very well come true...

I loved this article and just want to thank Dan and Scott for all that they do. I appreciate how moderating a forum like HN leads to deep introspection about what triggers us. "Thi…

Lots of great advice here already (especially #1 and #4 from @csa), so I'll only add two things: 1. A good exercise for you and your wife: take turns expressing how you each feel a…

You are spot on, my friend. These are the tough questions I've been asking myself every day for the last few weeks, and I'm still trying to answer them! I've had two people/friends…

(I know this is kind of "not allowed" on HN, but... <3)

1. I think only ~1/150 companies I talk to are actively hiring part-time engineers, so it's unlikely I'll add this category any time soon... if ever. (Sorry!) 2. A lot of people do…

Every company summarizes their engineering interview process in their profile. You’ll find it in the right-hand side panel.

Companies pay a yearly subscription fee for content creation and listing their profile on Key Values. I never charge software engineers and I don't charge companies any placement f…

^^^ This. Key Values is not valuable because of its code. In fact, it's a simple static site that I could rebuild in a couple of days if I wanted to. I meet a lot of technical foun…

I didn't realize you already did $27k this month! That is tremendous and you're only just getting started! GO BEN.

Yes, I spend a good amount of time doing marketing and sales, but I also spend a lot of time working w/ each engineering team, helping them to articulate and express their values. …

Key Values ( https://www.keyvalues.com ) is a one-woman show (oh hi!). I started Key Values as a side project two years ago, but it quickly turned into my full-time passion and bus…
