Can we at least agree here that complexity implies a larger cognitive burden? I think that's a pretty benign statement to begin from regardless of the domain (programming, cooking,…

For various meanings of 'learn'. My point is that you can be writing useful programs in c in a weekend. Obviously said person would not be an expert, but I've watched competent pro…

The 'magic' that you seem to pine for like is found in lets say Ruby, places a far larger mental burden on the programmer than a language like c or go. Sure, language like Haskell …

'Industry Best Practice' in this case amounts to 'we will hand all of your data over to the government' if required. Abdicating responsibility for personal security to ANY 3rd part…

Stop charging for your time and start charging for the value you are providing to the business. If you implement a system that will increase revenues, you should be charging based …

How is this even possible? All it takes is a clogged router buffer 'somewhere' along your network path and that I'm probably just being ignorant lol. Can you point me to an example…

I recommend buying a piece-of-shit Dell and putting an aftermarket SSD + memory in there. Personally, I develop on cheap Dell slammed full of RAM running a Linux VM inside of Windo…

Look well-made. I've never seen that brand in any US stores unfortunately. There were a few US distributors listed but most were tiny shops.

Let me just get this in before the cries of JUST INSTALL OPENWRT come raining down. Your mother / father / grandmother / etc are not installing openWRT on their routers. Installing…

I'm old enough to remember DHTML, it was terrible. It's quite remarkable how far front and back-end JS development has come since then.

Great post. People should stop and read this.

Your lack of ability to google or search on your own is a bit worrisome, but I spent a few minutes doing your work for you. =) There 18k+ open source repos on github for c#: https:…

I haven't installed Reddit from scratch in quite some time. I just looked at the reddit github source. You can get to it from www.reddit.com/r/redditdev There appears to be an inst…

True shame. Regardless of your opinion of his actions concerning JSTOR, it's undeniable he made a positive contribution to the web.

You should learn to program FIRST. It will take you 6 weeks to learn how to programming, let alone trying to build a website while doing it. There are a ton of resources online the…

I didn't want to let your comment stand as it suggests the fault was mine due to using an incorrect link. So, I followed the link you posted. I clicked on the navigation items, rap…

Looks great! I've been using yeoman for a while now and this looks like a fantastic replacement / alternative. Are you looking for contributions or just releasing this for people t…

Links to it are plastered all over this thread claiming to point to the current demo. No, I didn't share anything. For instance, here is one: https://demo2.openerp.com/#action=114 …

Technically, you got more than I did. =)

Hey there. I get that you seem to like this product. I'm not even knocking it. I'm just telling HN what I experienced with the demo they posted. As far as the product not being rel…

Hi. I'm on HN. I'm running the latest google chrome. I'm not going to go back and open up the developer tools to see which part of the buggy javascript UI crashed. I will say again…

Hi there, took a look at the site, here's some feedback: I liked the overall look, it's a fairly clean design. The #1 issue I have is that the boxes around each deal are scaling in…

Are you serious? Sorry, I work for a company with actual revenue and profit. We make actual products, not 'social engagement'. Yes, if I brought that product demo to my management …

Took me all of 30 seconds to break your demo website. Started throwing unhandled 'get_title' javascript exceptions at me non-stop. You honestly expect me to make a professional rec…

I got a 'real' job. =) My first startup was back in 2002 or so. We were doing a sort-of ebay for contractors. Today, you have similar services like Angie's List but we were creatin…
