It depends on how long you've had an HN account. At some point the content seems to get repetitive. It's pretty easy to ignore the content that you've seen before. But in the beginning it is a wealth of information, giving

Hmm, well I don't ever do any intensive mathematics, or math at all really. But I have overcome many cerebrally intensive challenges with the below method. Work on / build things that will aid you in solving the problem. This co

This might need to be an Ask PG. I wonder if there is a startup that he recalls passing on that influenced the way (minorly or majorly) he evaluates startups.

This guy built something that resonates with this community. He did a fantastic job. You have done a service with your comment by pointing out that these are the wrong tools to implement it. I agree! But I personally feel we don't get

I am all too familiar with only being good at certain things. My zombie startup almost failed before we had a chance to breathe. I was a developer driving around Houston, beating on doors to sell my product. And of the 30 organizations I

I'm 100 percent on board with your last sentence. But I didn't mean to imply that all you need is a good tech team to be successful. I was simply making an argument that maybe the OP is undervaluing his own / his tech team&#x

Writing software is hard. To quote Douglas Crockford "Writing software is the hardest thing you can do." So if as a team you are able to, manage client expectations, deliver on schedule, build a project that works to specification

I can't speak for management, but our team would inform their team on what was broken, and it would not get resolved in a timely fashion. We would get contacted by the client to resolve an issue on our end, and after some debugging we

I wouldn't be able to make a definitive judgement on that. But what I can say is that at my previous place of employment, we had a number of projects that never saw the light of day because the other organization couldn't meet th

I don't know. If you have a team that is able to consistently ship products that work and are well received by your existing client base, you probably do have some badass tech guys. You don't necessarily have to claim that you ar

This might be the most beautiful form that I've ever seen. Just gorgeous. I can't think of any way to improve it, and so have nothing valuable to add as a comment.

Yes, you should go back, but the real question is how. I don't think it is a good idea to throw away all of your experience as a project manager. It seems to me you would do best to look for a hybrid position. Find a job where you wou

Just nit picking here, but I think your selectors are a bit redundant and long. What do you think about something like this? .home-header-h1{ font-size: 20pt; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; line-height: 1.

This immediately reminded me of Dan Pink's - The puzzle of motivation - ted talk. http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.html It focuses on how incentives affect the efficiency of creative jobs.

MY STORY 1) Do good work for your current employer. 2) Left to do a startup full time. It stalled. (Still working on it) 3) Second job opportunity came along while I was full time on my startup. 4) Went back to original company first, nego

He makes some good points, and gives good alternatives. Definitely worth the read. I bookmarked it and will run over it later in more detail. But gotta say, I did not like the font that he chose to start his article in. But what do I kno

Ya, the "Hon" trademark was ridiculous. I think I saw that on kitchen nightmares. I could see a similar backlash happening over hackathon. If that happened in the states I'd definitely boycott someone trying to own something that belongs

Maybe the concept is not new, but the example he uses is brilliant. Everybody eats, everybody has at one point or another tried to democratically decide where to eat, and everyone that likes food dislikes/hates McDonalds. The article is f

Even if that was an over thought response, and I'm not saying it was, I'm glad he did it. It was my favorite comment on this page. DannyBee! Thanks for the very well informed, clear, and interesting perspective.

I would (developer) but it would have to be for a price that I wouldn't think twice about, 4.99 or 9.99 maybe per month.

The above is great advice. You will definitely want to play around with a tutorial, any tutorial, so you can grasp the basics of what regular expressions are, and how they are used. After you "get" what regular expressions are, you can work

Most common answer to any CS question in school is... "It depends".. And I think that applies here. There are some situations where its better to have a good enough solution today rather than a perfect solution next week. And when you are

The site looks beautiful, and the UI for the search results is really flexible & powerful. Just a fantastic job. But the search box, it requires educating the user, and this is your initial and most important functionality on your site

I suffer from depression, but there is a silver lining to it. You learn how to cope with and overcome hopelessness. You basically become emotionally impermeable to anything the world (startup or regular) can throw at you because you've al
