    I really hope you can bootstrap on the side, cuz that's what I'm doing and hoping for success. I am adding some extra probability for failure by tryin to do it 100% by myself. We'l…

    Been in beta forever, waiting for it to open up, I'd almost rather build my own at this point

    Sure. I haven't really concluded if this is a bad thing yet, but compared to previous places, this is what I have observed. And that is that we will bounce around an idea about som…

    As a remote team, communication may be what slows our team down. But on the same token, in-office communication can slow things down too.

    It's exactly the same. You have to add money from your other cards/accounts to the wallet balance (aka paypal balance) then you spend it from there. So how long does it take for yo…

    I learned vim-style through vintage style. But then I started spending a lot more time in vim on the servers. I've added custom key bindings to sublime to add to the vim-ishness. (…

    Ask HN: Who uses Sublime Text in Vintage Mode?

    I sure love it. But I feel like I'm alone in this. Anyone else?

    Will this allow me to talk with the buggers?

    Great writeup. I'm so sick of hearing about VC funding, growth-hacking, hock-sticks, and user-acquisition and all in the name of an exit strategy. I hope to see more and more compa…

    Benjamin Briggs makes a lot of good stuff. I'm a bit of a NES nostalgic when coding. My love for coding began in 98 when I built my first website (a Zelda 64 Ocarina of Time fan-si…

    I'm sure this was a cool and fun dev project. I've used a program like this before: http://www.derlien.com/ to visualize and edit/delete files. But for space management have since …

    I went HTML then PHP (hadn't discovered CSS yet in 2004), then MySQL, then back to HTML/CSS. Then Javascript, jQuery, Ruby/Rails, since then. But I would say rails. Ruby/Rails is w…

    Feels similar to amazon subscription goods, but just accessible from the phone. Kinda nice idea. Wonder if it will pick up traction.

    It was pretty abstract, but I think it's meant to be mostly high level. "looking at the world through the lens of software" from what I got, is just seeing all problems as solvable…

    Ask HN: Would you contribute to a community around reviewing repos on Github?

    Basically, it's nice to talk to people who have used certain libraries or repositories of code before. Maybe they liked it for a certain use-case, but it didn't fit another use-cas…
