acloud.guru has some pretty decent video tutorials. It was easier for me to start with those tutorials before diving into the AWS documentation.

Clearbit, Full Contact and Pipl all have email lookup APIs. My guess is they are using one or more of these APIs.

"On the front end, people are probably re writing the front end every 3 or 4 months. Moving from javascript framework to javascript framework." That seems crazy! Maybe I am out of touch but how is that even viable or smart? Seems

I imagine it is very hard to make money with the types of apps that fall within those most popular app categories. Mostly free apps with advertising. I guess I don't really understand the shift of ONLY creating a mobile app for product

Yes to this 100x. I actually did this last year with outstanding results. We were looking to bring on paid interns. We narrowed all the apps down to 5 and paid each $50 to complete real stuff that we use in our environment. 2 out of the 5 c

Very cool! Wish more companies approached it like this.

I wish more people had the guts to follow this advice. I agree, this type of disrespect would have totally turned me off and made me seriously contemplate even wanting the job.

Google is turning more and more into a lead gen company every day. They have been testing something similar with insurance, hotel bookings and solar. Soon enough search results will be dominated by Google's lead capture pages/form

Such a great comment! "And it's an atrocity that staggeringly gifted young people can grow up thinking they're poorly endowed weirdos because, instead of memorizing their way through school, they struggle to actually understa

My guess is most of the employees are support & sales which are generally lowering paying positions. Considering all of the complaints on the other recent HN thread, they most likely need a lot of support to hold down the fort.

Wow that looks like a nightmare. If I went into that space for an interview, I would runaway quick. I wonder if most of their employees are support. I can't imagine getting any kind of dev work done in that environment.

Talk less and learn to watch and listen. You will be amazed at how better your instincts become. I think her traits are what make her good at this. She doesn't like attention and is more of an introvert. These traits probably make her

Jessica sounds awesome! It is nice to see YC allow her to add value based on her strengths rather than forcing her into roles where her strengths would be lost.

"Who should be responsible for developing talent? On one side, we have enthusiastic, curious people without much experience. On another, we have employers who want experienced people but don’t want to invest in the training themselves.

This I believe is where a lot of the problem is. It's hard to make money on free or .99 cents. Consumers are now used to free and cheap so I think it's going to be pretty hard to turn this trend around. App devs kind of brought th

Good point. Probably not.

Ha! That is true I suppose if you are in the Bay area.

This is a step in the right direction. However the $33k for the 2nd semester is still out of reach for many. "As part of the pilot project, students who perform well in the online half can take an exam to apply for the second semester

Why aren't more companies investing in building out remote teams? Have the main office with a small core team in SF but hire remote devs, customer service, sales. Seems like it would save companies a ton of money and devs would be happ

They sound a little bitter. I wonder if part of the issue is they have tried outsourcing for low pay but high demands. The job sounds like it is fairly demanding. If they want the loyalty they desire they need to pay a decent wage and make
