I've done this and usually get like 5 upvotes and 1 half ass comment telling me to change something. Then if you post again you get even less attention. That's why I don't think po…

Thank God I'm not the only one who can't drum up support on reddit. One thing that has worked for me in the past, though, is buying upvotes. Sometimes that works and sometimes it d…

Ask HN: Got fired. Not sure if I want to program anymore
I've been a developer for eight years. I don't really enjoy it anymore. Yesterday I got fired for what I think is a pretty dumb reason. I'm just kind of done with the whole program…
