Doh! Thanks for pointing it out. No matter how many times you proofread something always slips by.

I'm currently researching and developing my own resume. The current iteration is here: http://bliti.github.io/resume/ Its built on top of bootstrap 3, and I open sourced the markup and css that I used to construct

The credit card break in caused me a lot of grief. It just blew my mind how something so important would not be treated as such. If you do not take care of the basics, I cannot trust you with my code. For most of my smaller needs, I use w

I have used both, would choose neither. Linode has awful security, and security policies. Digital Ocean's offerings were not consistent and rather unstable/buggy. Some of their OS images did not work. Their support was a bit on th

My experience with Linode left a very sour taste in my mouth. Their security leaves a lot to be desired. It cost me, and clients, a fair amount of money and grief. Their hardware might be good, but their policies are lacking. I do not recom

Does it really? I'm not being pedantic. My experience has been that coding guidelines/style and personal standards are what encourage good, maintainable code. Not the language itself. I've seen beautiful PHP, just like I&#x27

I agree. It does not have much to do with smarts. It is mostly about discipline, and personality. People with big buzz-word titles have been less than stellar in my experience. Worse is that they have tried to sabotage projects because they

Good point. I did not think the tone would create that impression in others. One point in your feedback I might be confusing is the following. Seems that some people might believe that working remotely allows them other freedoms. Am I inter

I think these are reasonable expectations. Working remotely does not imply that you get to set the boundaries and rules of employment. It merely allows you to work from another place. I have been working remotely for the past 4+ years, and

Its all networking. I would setup a good looking portfolio and start emailing other HN members. That will get you a fair amount of initial work. Then its just a matter of more networking. I also had good luck doing cold emails to people on

The hardware for this trinket is not an issue. You'd need something like an arduino, a temperature sensor, and the related motors to open/close the windows. Of course, a fair amount of wiring, unless you use something like the xbe

1. I realized that a product is not built in a vacuum. Meaning that I had to go out and figure out what products where needed. This led me to reach a simple understanding: I would focus on building products that made people money. Selling s

May you tell what type of systems do you work with? i.e., Web, server, enterprise intranet, etc.

I reason all YC batches have been about solving real problems for real people. Though they seem to be focusing more on solving business problems. I did make that change from consumer to business and am pretty happy about it. Might even appl

I read it about ten years ago. Do not remember anything, because I was never able to find work as a Common Lisp programmer. Would have been fun. I know that things in the lisp community change very slowly, and wanted to know if the book was

How has the book aged?

I have a couple of older books that were found in the same manner. From people who studied anything computer related in the 70s and 80s. I lost some copies on a flood, but still have a small, but nice collection. Including one of those &quo

I stopped looking for ideas, and focused on solving problems. There is a difference. Ideas come with a lot of fluff. Meaning that under the right conditions they might work. Solving problems focuses on talking to people who have problems, a

Good point. Most (95%) of my experience has been as a freelancer. As a result, the grass might seem greener on the other side.

Its all right. If you do get the green light, email me. I'm looking for open source projects to contribute.

I agree. Yahoo! logo is red. That's it. This change is equal to Facebook changing the corporate color to green.

Do you plan to open source the source code? I'd like to contribute with with the front end. It works very nicely, but looks too generic. (:

Japan is vending machine crazy. I know they do sell fruit in this manner. You might want to research their solutions.

I'll be empathetic and put myself in your shoes. You have a growing company, and need to hire good talent. Funds might be low, so you set out to blog about something unrelated in order to include a jobs pitch. I understand. Startups a
