Have a plan for how it will integrate with your existing ecosystem such as tools, version control, continuous integration, data sources, etc if your org requires these things. I once worked as a principal at a .NET shop and had a smart eng

You're only getting the tax benefit because you've had to spend 100k to start out with (which you wouldn't have to do when renting from AWS).

What does housing have to do with this? It's not like FB employees live in SF for the cheap housing.

Sounds to me like he's blaming the babies or else he could have left them out of it and said something like 'exceptional events'.

You are missing the point - startups don't always have the time/money to train someone in a new language. That's why they are looking for Javascript Ninjas who can hit the ground running. Established firms inherently have m

I was recently job hunting and chose to do coding problems in python when possible, even though I have 7+ years C# experience. For the first interview it got me into trouble because I actually didn't know how to read args from the com

For general roles, it's a question of how much you are willing to invest in a candidate before he/she starts producing. Big firms like Google/MS/Amazon are willing to hire strong candidates who aren't familiar with

My first thought when reading this was that MSSQL (which i'm most experienced with) would automatically optimize this query. I'd think postgres can too. If I saw this happen in MSSQL I'd start by clearing the statistics for

If I promisify some code with bluebird, can I use it with Mongoose's built in promises? Or will promises from different libraries explode when they touch?

The 'pyramid of doom' is one of my pain points with node right now. The article's solution is to push the anonymous functions out into separate named functions, but this just adds more code. Would have been awesome to use p

I disagree because Rackspace is the most logical disaster recovery (DR) solution for companies that primarily use AWS. Even if you have DR backups in other AWS data centers, you're not protected from bugs that could affect all data ce

I appreciate the philosophy of getting rid of HR rules in favor of treating people like adults with good judgement. However, good judgement is probably one of those things whose definition is open to disagreement. E.G. one person's g

The problem is that law (and other professional) schools are incentivized to largely disregard the institution of applicants and instead base most of their admissions decisions on GPA and LSAT so they can get high US News rankings. An elit

For now, all the yahoo services I use stink as much as they always have. It will take years for these sweeping cultural changes to pay off, if the do. Definitely a heroic effort on Mayer's part, considering the shelf life of Yahoo CE

This rant has been brewing for many years... Everything's been downhill since VS6. I'm only joking, but seriously, does anyone remember how lightning fast VS6 was? That was over 15 years ago with much slower computers. I guess

In general, I believe it will help make larger JS codebases more maintainable. Specifically it enhances the following: - Refactoring e.g. easily globally change a class member's name - Type safety e.g. it will bark if you pass a strin

"buy your own home and avoid paying rent" Obligatory counter-comment - this is not true in a lot of markets, notably ones where a lot of HN people probably live like SF, NY. One must take into account many variables such as rent

The new CLI looks like a massive improvement over the old one, but ironically I will probably still prefer boto + ipython because of the very robust autocompletion.

If you're trying to start the next Google, by all means you should move to Mountain View and put it all on the line. Someone could easily save $20k a year between lower rent (1500/mo vs 2500/mo) and lack of CA state income ta

My personal pick is South Lake Tahoe. No state income tax, 3.5 hr drive to SF, commercial airport, and stunningly beautiful. Heck, a lot of SV/SF bigshots already have vacation homes in the area.
