How long are your projects in University? During my freshman year, we had group projects that usually lasted a few weeks or maybe a month. When most people are just trying to learn the basics/how to work as a team, TDD adds too much c

You can argue this point all you want, but Bitcoin is not really getting any support from the masses until it's brain dead easy. Most people understand that when they swipe their card, dollars are taken out of their account. It's

I hope twitter collapses. Why? they gave api access to developers and business owners to use their site, used this data as free R&D, and yanked access. It put many companies out of business over night. They deserve everything they get

Yeah, maybe. But all of the security problems, the fact that the average user won't ever understand it, and the massive swings in value will stop me from ever taking it seriously

People have gotten fired and had mobs of hashtag warriors try to destroy their personal lives for merely stating facts or a personal opinion. Yet, the same mobs of people somehow think they are allowed to say the worst things, with no conse

Until people like Briana Wu are banned for their abusive behavior, I just can't believe this is anything but a power move to silence opposing viewpoints.

My issue is that software projects are highly political. When you are a regular contributer, someone may not accept the request because they just don't like you.. and gender may not matter. Anonymous contributions being accepted at a h

If what you are describing is an example of 'sexism in tech',then it's nonexistant. The only problem I see is the inability to have honest discussions, without being called a 'sexist'.

Why not find contracts on sites like Craigslist? When I was unemployed, this is what I did for a year. It's not easy, but all you need is an email account and a laptop. It sounds like you have both, since you are posting on HN.

I disagree. I worked in a few different government departments that depended on funding. We always had a surplus at the end of the year and the boss would tell us to spend it on anything and everything because if we didn't, there woul

It's more than just gaming. They have total control of their appstore and if you have an app they don't like for whatever reason, it will be banned. We have given these companies the ultimate power over our apps/businesses.

The problem isn't asking questions, it's that many beginners just want the answer..they don't want to actually put the time into learning how or why. Another common problem I see is asking questions without doing simple thing
