I've never heard of these, which is part of the benefit of YC I guess. What that said, none of them seem to offer what BuildZoom does which is a list of all the contractors in my area sorted by reputation. Even if their reputation metrics a

I think buildzoom is going to be big. I'm remodeling a condo in Florida, and it has been a nightmare to find contractors. In fact on the flight on the way home I penciled out some ideas to improve this that aren't too different from what bu

I've never heard of Achoo, but the LinkedIn user experience has gone down hill recently. There must be room for competitors.

Linus has a right to act however he wants. That doesn't make it right, and frankly it doesn't give me a higher opinion of him. We've seen thread after thread in the past couple weeks about the "locker room" mentality of the industry, but fr

The same sort of behavior from Linus has been bothering me as well. Linus may hold the keys to something many people want access to, but that doesn't justify his recent behavior. When you are in a position of authority, you should hold your

Any manager who doesn't take responsibility for this isn't a manager you'd want to work for. The manager should be fired.

Couldn't be more timely for me. I've been working on documenting the Discourse installation. For someone who doesn't work in Ruby every day, even as a long time Linux user, it is daunting. Once an application, no matter the language, has a

I went to RIT in the 90s. My total student debt was something like $17k. In my case I felt it was worth it, but if faced with $140k in debt for the same education, I would seriously have my doubts and probably would have considered alternat

Funny I used to live in a large victorian mansion in Epping years ago. I wanted to replicate something like that when I moved to Tahoe, but couldn't afford a property big enough to make it work out.

Yeah it is only a couple blocks away from some the most expensive real estate in the country.

It was a smart move to open at that location on Market, especially with the perks that the city was offering. It is right on a major bike commuter route, and I suspect hundreds of bike commuters ride by each day. There are some other great

I went to RIT many years ago. In retrospect, I view it as a variation on a trade school, which isn't a bad thing. The co-op program was valuable, but I wish there was more focus on entrepreneurship. Maybe that has changed, but at the time t

That might be becoming the case as jobs in the field dry up, but I know plenty of lawyers who went to law school to become lawyers. It is hard to justify the cost of a law degree for general education.

This might be a concerning trend if you are a working programmer. Currently labor is tight, but it seems in a few years the schools will be cranking out huge numbers of CS majors. If past cycles are an indication, this might coincide with d

I work in financial software and many of the tools used by large companies are surprisingly archaic. I think there is a lot of opportunity in this space, but change is slow. What I think is going to happen is that non tech startups which he

I couldn't do my job on a Galaxy Note. I purchased one after they were released in the US, and was jeered about its size (and asked many times if it was a new Apple device). But having used it for a year, I've found a great device and form

As a technologist I sometimes forget that for many office workers their tool kit is Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. They can't imagine a world where they don't spend most of their time using those applications. At times I see what peo
