I live in Spain and am very frugal, so I haven't experienced first hand the high cost of life in SF, but if someone has to spend $1000 on the rent, there won't be much left from the salary received. Also the job in question is &qu

Man, you should consider remote options at least for the Customer Success given how low you're paying (is $50K really livable in San Francisco?).

Thank you for this very anti-intellectual answer, now I don't have to wonder anymore why programmers and engineers are getting commoditized. Seriously, does for you being a good programmer only consist in calling some API or knowing so

I find interesting the part where PG says that a startup either makes its founders rich either goes down, and basically discards the possibility that it ends up to be just enough to pay its founders a good salary. I think it can be a pretty

I can't upvote enough that excellent summary of the situation of software companies. One way to solve that would be to have governments support and subsidies open source software development, but I don't see that happening in the

It's neat, but the search itself is tedious, as I have to type the first ingredient, click on it, then type the second ingredient and click on it. Wouldn't it be better (faster at least) to type the two ingredients separated by a

Are you trying to give the community a bunch of algorithms ready to use? One suggestion: for each algorithm, your main function seems to be an example of how to call the algorithm. Instead, can you make it take an argument so it can be call

I'm not an Apple user myself, but isn't what you describe something good for web developers as it ensures that your users can only have one version of Safari, as opposite to lots of older versions of Chrome, Firefox and IE?

I liked codeacademy.com for css and html. Thanks to it I managed to get a grasp of how html, styles, and css work. I was already a technical person so his/her mileage may vary.
