Looks cool! I like the fresh approach.

FWIW "Billions of dollars" should be considered in the context that 1 million people * $1,000 = $1 billion. The US is ~300m people. So, this headline is something like "1/3 of 1% o…

You joined HN 55 minutes ago, and posted this 2 minutes later. This may not be the best community for you.

I use this service and I like it. Many blog posts and engineering discussions tend to treat tools in isolation -- you're learning about Redis or Rails or Ember only. Being able to …

Is "more frequent commits" really a good thing?

As one of the engineers on Ship -- woohoo!

Good point. Especially that stat, because it is so volatile. So much of the wealth is tied up in the value of companies or other complex things whose value is illiquid, and whose v…

Awesome. Or, should I say that my self-generated perception after a compressed review of the literature has left me inclined to believe that the author is highly self-aware and wry…

This is an enormously complicated question, and a good answer requires knowing a bit about your background and what you already understand about business. As for some high level an…

Take my, and everyone's advice, with a grain of salt. Few people have experienced enough launches to offer a very objective view of the patterns, so you're going to have to make th…

I'm sorry to hear what happened to your friend. I have no special knowledge on the subject, but I did a quick Google search. I'm sure you might have run across some of these before…

Akshay, it looks like you're the person who wrote this and posted it. Thank you for the contribution. It deserves to make the front page. This is insanely important and may be the …

This being HN, I'm sure curious as to how this works on an OS level. Anyone have any ideas?

Just in case you aren't using one already: https://agilebits.com/onepassword It's ridiculously easy and worthwhile.

Cranston is the best. He is a fantastic role model for consistently showing up and putting in work, and if he's only a quarter as nice as he's been described, he'd be a fine drinki…

What are you hoping to get out of your time here? That will help people suggest activities.

Umair is a total bummer and is being misled by his own intelligence. He's Nostradamus but with better marketing. People have been saying the world is burning for as long as there h…

It's ok. Sometimes people just post garbage or spam, which is why new accounts are displayed in green, so we know to be cautious :) Reddit is more of a general-audience kind of thi…

Nice! This is sure to be a time savings for a lot of folks. Why are some fields missing?

Given that you created your HN account 4 minutes ago, I'm going to give you a quick answer. If this is a real question and you post a more detailed question, I'm happy to give you …

One other idea that comes to mind: If you're talking about a company that's been around a while and has a big HR department, they're going to have a well-defined interview process,…

Wow, that's one big paragraph. :) It's going to depend heavily on the companies you're applying to. Do you have a Github account? That might help. Also if you've got a really healt…

Nice! BTW: I am the author of an upcoming book on technical debt. I am looking to include case studies on technical debt in the book, and am looking for situations where there tech…

First off, accept that without spending huge amounts of money to solve this problem, you're always going to have to do some cooking. For context: I like to cook. I just generally h…
