A big sincere thank you to the author for giving concrete examples of why this is bad, instead of general fearmongering and ranting.

I'm 21 years into my career myself, so the web is younger than my carrer. At this point, I do full stack development as well. And... I think you are taking on more than you need to…

I had a course in grad school in which we wrote our own database system, including having to calculate the storage to disk... as in, calculate the sectors, and where you had to bre…

Good. Convince all your peers to do the same.

You are missing the point. There are established mechanisms for change in this country. I grow weary of people acting like we need to rise up and take drastic action, when most peo…

Like, vote in the upcoming elections?

This article raises red flags on the author's credibility. This looks less like a truthful account of a story, and more like a frustrated small company who had a partnership go bad…

If you complete phone screens on 1 out of every 10 inquiries you send, you are doing very well in my opinion. If those phone screens do not turn into full interviews or offers, tha…

I also wonder what may have been different if this was not placed in the context of a very public experiment. How many of the purchases were political statements? I think the same …

Some suggestions: 1) If you are going to suggest such a massive scope of changes, offer to help instead of just dumping a list out there. 2) Check to see if the poster on HN is act…

This may be the best example I have ever seen of a great idea that has been completely destroyed by a horrible choice of implementation.

Highcharts' zoomable graphs are a killer feature at the moment. They are not difficult to use, and I use them to show 30 days worth of data (2880 points per graph) in my monitoring…

I don't see a serious problem with a low retention rate from reading HN articles. I do not come here to memorize every item that flies through... I probably read 50 items a week on…

Could you set it up so we can input our own Facebook ID instead of having to grant your app access? I personally have the entire app platform disabled on my account, and do not int…

Asimov hashed through all this quite thoroughly in the Foundation series. But it is always interesting when we catch up to classic sci-if and work towards actual implementations of…

Whether or not non-friends can message you is a privacy setting.

People are missing the underlying root cause of the lower quality programmers in India -- Culture. There, upward mobility is the goal, not being the best programmer. People take a …

The fact that you keep jumping in and defending yourself after every negative comment makes you look like you are seriously lacking confidence. Nobody is questioning that you belie…

When I first saw his headlines a while back, I had the same question... But there is a very reasonable answer - he is bringing to light a gap in the availability of bone marrow for…

Yes, it is ridiculous. They are ensuring that they get people who are interesting... and all the exact same flavor of interesting. It feels juvenile, even if they intended it since…

Just be smart... My favorite bad example is a former kung fu teacher of mine. He was in a motorcycle accident that put him in a wheelchair a number of years ago. He recovered, most…

This may or may not be true... it is an example of the old statement that I learned in martial arts" There is a vast difference between having 10 years of experience, and having 1 …

Some of us are working full-time on renewable energy projects - my company is one of them. The US may not have a policy in place, but the Senators we have met with are supportive o…

As a hiring manager, this does not make sense. Why should I pay $50 just to make initial contact with one person, and then still have to do the full recruiting and interviewing pro…

Clearly, since it IS the top comment, HN as a whole disagrees with you. I believe that discussion about appropriate language and communication styles is very applicable to HN. We'r…
