Sometimes managers will take credit without the person ever knowing. It's hard to take credit for your own work when you don't have a communication channel with people above you. Managers do and you can't stop them for saying

This is wonderful insight and mostly true. The other major factor is that you are no longer in control of the message. I hate being in situations where it becomes a game of relay. The message always in some form gets mangled or in the worst

I would suspect AWS makes most of their money from clients that manage instances that are in the mid to high double digits and beyond. For these clients its likely that at some point automation has kicked in and the APIs get the job done mu

What's your long term career goals? You really need to nail this down and figure it out. Don't make it about the next 20 years but more along the lines of 5-10 years. Where does an MS in CS fit in that vision? If you're capab

How much revenue can you be generating from this if it went really well? What's the cost of that revenue? Based on what you have been saying, your total potential revenue doesn't seem to be very high (less than $100K,$200K,$300K??

Why is someone reading productivity posts all the time? Or any other self improvement material all the time? Obviously there is some intent to change. When this intention manifest's itself into real action is the real question. It&#x27

Instapaper has become my bookmarking tool. I don't even really sort it out anymore. I know it should be there when I need it and mostly the actual article is saved.

What is being forgotten by the author of this post is that we are all different. Each of these posts, regardless of the main theme (in this case productivity) are coming from different life experiences and different approaches. Some of thes

I really would suggest you look at Steve Blank's work. You can take his online course (for free I believe) at: https://www.udacity.com/course/ep245

The reason you are not getting too many responses is that there is no right answer. A lot of this is dependent on the industry, the type of business, your location and a bunch of other things that don't lend themselves to in depth answ

What's your thoughts on entrants like buyvm and ramnode. Although small, they seem to be doing things right.

Any good guides for hardening Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?

+1 for this. Definitely the author is a great story teller. Really got sucked into the narrative..

Have you done any Django installations? I have a VPS with Ubuntu 12.04 and looking at how best to go about this? Currently looking at Chef.

Is it really that involved to manage your own server? Especially if you are starting out and its just one or two servers. There's so many good guides out there that I would say might be worthwhile to spend that time now.

Is it still worthwhile if you're not developing single page apps?

+1 for this. Sometimes you just have to move on, no matter how much you want to get back at someone. One criteria I use is how much is my motives driven by emotion. If it boils down to "I want to see this person suffer.", its bett

I will definitely second this. If you can get your contract work, that is excellent. Otherwise, with your MBA and your fiance skills you should be able to get a high paying work. I find the HN mentality of "I don't want a job&quot

Curious question. How many apps do you have that are not games and very niche that don't require an internet connection? I tend to find that the most useful apps require a connection to login, refresh data, etc.

Seriously, totally uncalled for. I would say that for the majority of people Vim is just working fine. That 'guy' has been maintaining Vim for years and all he asks for is to donate to his charity. Also, did you read his response?

The message of the article is good but it's not seeing the forest from the trees. Having just read the Forbes artcile on the company and Jan in particular, some interesting things stood out: 1) Jan had money to start and was able to ta

The fact that your wife is staying home with the baby is going to make everything really much easier and doable. There is no need to change roles or slow down per se. Babies just want to sleep, poop and cry for the most part in the first fe

Sometimes we just have to slow down in order to let life catch up for us. I think anyone with two or more kids that are still young (let's say less than 7-8 years old) its just too much effort to get stuff going on the side that don&#x

Going to the gym 3/4 times a week for an hour or two is a luxury I just don't have anymore. For those that have the room, the best solution is a home gym setup. I wake-up at 5:30 AM and am doing my workout by 5:45 AM or 6:00 AM. I

I like the delivery. There is little "corporate speak" and a lot of frankness. He's not calling out a particular person but a whole office. I don't see this as a "reams employees" type of email. He's makin

This is highly relevant for any high-level hire, regardless of whether it's a startup or not. In some ways, it's so much easier to bullshit now. LinkedIn definitely helps with this. Sometimes, the profiles with the most recommenda
