Overdo things — especially breaks. At work I stopped drinking coffee from the machine and do it as labourous as possible; Grinding the beans, making preferably one cup at a time using an Aeropres. This makes me refocus on the coffee and thu

It very nearly describes how I find myself to function as well. As long as there is theoretical possibility of doing an improved job than I am currently at, if i did something and delivered right now — I will most likely procrastinate into

"Ignorance is bliss". The problem is rather universal. Put a good "X professional" to do job Y and a bad X to do the same job, it will be more miserable for he who is good because he has more knowledge and is better able to realize all the

Its amazing that after having read probably hundreds of Vim tutorials / guides every user is able to learn something completely new from every one of them. It sure scales. This one brought ^T and ^D for indenting in insert mode to me, and s

Take the job, get intimidated when you realize you are completely out of your league and get fired within 2 months. In other words; Your worst case scenario is 2 months paid experience learning more. I know, it IS scary but trust me that wi

This is great! And yes, worth it. The ability to network, get more experience all while aiding in something for the community and getting paid? Nice! In Norway there was recently a funding round where personal or corporate initiatives could

Agreed. I signed up, installed ruby and sinatra for a quick test environment before i realized i had no clue what the public ip was, or maybe you need to configure something for aws. The ip you are given to ssh in with seems to not be open

Now i finally can have a social network with my real close friends again inside facebook. Even reminds me of real social life. Does this imply facebook is even more integrated in our lifes when we clearly define different circles of trust?

It would be interesting to see HN-ers that use facebook auth in their apps share some stats on how big percentage use it? I too believe you should have your own auth system as a base, but maybe someone can provide some numbers proving that

Maybe not great for real uses as the top hit isn't always right, but I know of several parties where this on full screen would be an instant win at least.

Funny you should ask about this when me and 4 others are having a hackathon this weekend. The plan for us so far is to use fri/sat/sun and spend aprox.. 5/10-15/5 for a total of about 20 hours * 5 = 100. Normally you'd probably opt for long

Surely you can. Wouldn't you be loyal to your own startup if it turned into a corporation? Any way, you should be loyal to your employer while working there, but that shouldn't be mistaken for selling your soul to them. I don't see the prob

I doubt I would design a site differently, but I sure as hell would make sure I connected to the "open graph". Its simply to big a win, it can't be ignored unless your a big enough player. And may i restate: The API is slick and sexy and fe

Indeed privacy concerns aside, but I completely agree. This will have a huge impact on the web, how can you pass up on 400M users (will probably be 1B in less than two years) and their data on your site? I love the idea of heading to amazon

Most of us will not make millionaires by programming, sure, but I would still consider it a lucrative profession: You can enter it without any education other than self thought much easier than most professions, that more formally requires

Sound advice and well written, even if its old its a nice collection of thinks to think about. I wonder if "people" will start understanding #17 (No project is ever simple) some day.

What the heck ... there are some bad ideas in there. #3 - The people worth being social with are those who are themselves (to the extent anyone is fully themselves), so if you merely play a character it will not help you form any interestin

Great way to promote themselves. My first thought was "I gotta have that app" (had I been an iphone user). The execution is good as well.

The UI looks nice, and the specs are over acceptable. I will definitively go for this if its snappy in real life use, so can't wait to try it. Would be nice if my phone was built on the same OS that i use on every computer every day.

I'm amazed as well that it went that well. And its really great to hear that they weren't put off, lets hope the coming generation can help improve the genre ratio within programming workplaces. I like you approach, and choosing shoes proba

Yeah, shows how fast communication can make things happen. If someone droodled something like on a piece of paper 100 years ago it would probably only end up in the fireplace after the family have had its amusement of it.

Great article/mini book. The only thing I miss is a more hands on problem solving example, its such a fun way to start learning something compared to just reading technical detail. Would certainly widen the crowd if you provided both :)

I think just about everyone here will agree that what you describe is more of an ideal web that we want. However, the problem is finding motivation for regular users to sacrifice, and if they wont then you need the big corporations to sacri

Add in that the color for tags and the title is nearly the same. And the more views the more of a "warning color" the count gets. Seems rather opposite.

Depends on mood and problem I'm currently solving. For trivial coding I can listen to anything and would probably go for something indie. (Currently the "trivial music" has been Florence+The Machine, Dirty Projectors, Crystal Castles and Gr
