No, they do quite a bit of PHP now as well,and the Interactive News team uses Rails and Django a lot as well.

Yes - this. I've been doing the same for the past couple months, and I've encountered several types. Some companies just have me recite my resume - I feel these haven't done any legwork at all, and I usually don't bother. Others seem to ha

Uh, zero, none, and, uh, N/A. But I should do more!

No - but they should be. Or, were you about to make a case for dishonesty?

Pretty sure the article is referring to: http://vark.com/ It's a social expertise-based Q&A site. Email me for an invite.

Thanks. For some reason, this critical bit of information was missing from the AppJet app, the article, and the comments. I had to spend some of my time actually looking for it.

Fair enough - but then tell the candidate that: "Sorry, you're overqualified, you can find a better position, and be happier. We just need a code monkey for now". None of the BS about "free spirits" and "normal jobs" - I mean, come on.

Uh, no, HN is not wrong, the company is wrong. Why would you want to work for such a company? You know yourself better than the company does, and "free spirit" vs. "not the kind that settles in a normal job" is not only a gross generalizat

Well, I'm in school now, I have to go back in the Fall, and I have no cash. I applied to YC with some friends, but I'm afraid our ideas weren't as polished - we applied pretty late, and got rejected. I still think they are viable ideas, a

tl;dr No, just kidding. People have been speaking in short sentences for a long time. Your model is too simplistic - writing letters is a less a discussion, and more debate . Ordinary everyday conversation is shorter, and possibly, more

Wait - how do you know if something is a problem if you can't predict it? Problems are defined by their effects, right?

Simple and correct, sure but not helpful. Answering the question is one thing, fostering good discussion is another. To foster discussion, both parties should understand each other. To help understanding, a question should not only be answ
