Never Underestimate a User's Feature Request
- dmix 14y agoRule of thumb, at least for bootstrapping, wait at least a month before you implement any new idea/feature. If you still think its worth your time by then, then do it.
- mparlane 14y agoThis rule should not be applied to security related features such as hashing of passwords. Maybe dmix works at IEEE in their spare time.
- dmix 14y agoHashing passwords and securing servers shouldn't be an new idea/feature at any point.
- mparlane 14y agoAgreed, too bad we keep hearing about cases where it'd still count as a feature request...
- dmix 14y agoI recently worked on a project where the founder was ex "engineering team lead" and CTO at 2 tech startups. I discovered he was storing passwords plain-text and he seemed pretty indifferent about it. He definitely hasn't been following recent HN stories.
- peterjmag 14y agoI see that you already have it on your to-do list to fix browser navigation, so here's a related request: Don't hijack my browser's "open link in new tab" functionality. Right now, your pager buttons' href attributes are "javascript:void(0)", which breaks middle click (or Ctrl+click, etc) behavior.
