They cancelled it because they felt pressure from their sponsors. I'm skeptical about this. The company I work for were the only sponsor formally announced on their site. We were behind them 100% and didn't have a clue about the controver

This is the bit that intrigues me. The organisation I work for were one of the primary sponsors for the event. We saw the controversy and simply assumed the BritRuby team could handle it. At no point did we threaten or even allude to the po

I sincerely don't believe cancelling was the right choice. There were 5 speaker slots left to be filled with a December deadline to fill those slots. Why not use the controversy to attract appropriately diverse speakers with interesting and

Finally I found HN points aren't worth anything toward my profile. There is literally nothing in your profile to indicate who you are or what your website is. All I can see is the following: user: Hawkee created: 190 days ago

There are an endless amount of average developers on the market. There are a sizeable number of decent developers on the market. There is a very limited amount of great developers on the market. Guess which one of the three most companies a

It's probably best not to disturb people if they are at their desk however, if someone says hello to you or introduces themselves, take the opportunity to strike up a conversation. A simple, open ended question that can strike up some usefu

Going against the HN grain here: Stop assuming that the word 'start-up' makes you more appealing. There are some incredibly talented developers working for start-ups across the UK and Europe. I have a significant amount of experience in try

Some non-technical advice: * Ask tons of questions. Not questions for the sake of questions but relevant, interesting questions. * Get to know people. It's never too early to start networking and you'd be surprised how likely it is that you

I like the overall concept. It's a topic close to my own heart. A bit of feedback though, the 11k homepage image takes up far too much real estate and is really distracting. Also, it wouldn't hurt to provide info on what qualifies you to be

I consider that to be insanely cheap. It would cost you almost double that to sponsor one high profile tech meet-up in London and a techcrunch piece would drive infinitely more traffic as well as more credibility.

I don't get how this is anything more than a quirky stunt. We want a friend, a neighbor, a random stranger at a coffee shop, even an online buddy who’s never met before to email us about you. How can any of the above provide an appropriat

I think it's the association factor and not revenue factor. Ask most lay-people to name the top 5 tech companies and you'd most likely get all of the above plus amazon.
