You must be one of the few startups launching with ASP.NET! ;-) (assuming you aren't doing anything funny with extension rewrites!) How to help grow? Well, it looks like you've already got link sharing for facebook and twitter - how's th

Vesting Schedule: Three to Four years - and you should give something within 90 days (or sooner) in good faith. The vesting will be given on the anniversary of years one and two - and then likely monthly thereafter. The earlier vesting c

This story is often repeated in all types of business - it is a really useful tool when recruiting any kind of talent, or, for that matter, any kind of relationship. It's an absolutely remarkable character test! Useful when dating someone,

Hah - I have a 16 page business plan outlining something very, very similar, dated 4/3/2008! Never did anything with it! I just pulled up that business plan to see the similarities and they are many. I was going to market initially to pe

Would there be interest in a TalentRoulette type of service for tech recruiting?

jedsmith - I asked the question not to imply that it was because of node, but because the outage correlated back to the post (i.e. spike in traffic) and I honestly wanted to know the cause. It not node, then what? I think it was a perfect

Out of curiosity, it looks like it's down right now. Can you provide some info about why? I thought the node stuff was supposed to be able to handle all the simultaneous traffic requests with ease. Just curious!

I was kind of surprised the Groupon story wasn't mentioned in this article.

This doesn't sit well with me. We are talking about open source software! Let's assume I have some cool little gem I wrote that works well for me, but maybe not the ideal solution for everyone. However, there is enough utility in it that

Dang - you're an app churning machine! I just looked at your profile and checked out all your projects....WOW! Talk about some achievements. GREAT JOB with these apps! I especially like Text and CashFlow. Very, very usable.

This is the best "Looking for Tech CoFounder" I've seen in a while on HN! I've been commenting on the bad ones and giving them advice on how to word it correctly. Thanks to this post, I can just reply in the future with a link to this thr

While I don't completely disagree with you, I think his chances of success are better than spending x amount of time applying for jobs trying to get an interview. I don't recall which company, but in the last two weeks, one of the big name

It seems to me that what he's doing is rather smart. It gives him an chance to be exposed to more opportunities than if he was trying to get hired and he can pick those on which he wishes to take a risk. I would certainly change the wordin

Library, Starbucks, Co-Working facilities, if they have them in your area. Working from home is not for everyone - if it isn't working for you, change jobs. I would suggest that 2.5 months is enough time to determine if this type of arran

Interesting - I REALLY like the homepage! I like the orange/red -- it gives me a good feeling. I agree with some of the fonts and field sizes - but these are actually relatively minor things to fix. I think you are on to something with th

I like this - good job on your first Rails project. Similar to about.me, but actually much more useful (in my opinion). Very well done!

This was the first lengthy article I read today and what a great way to start the day! It's not sexy - it's not hip - it's just some good old fashioned advice framed in a way that anyone should be able to understand. I especially apprecia

Yes, you should. It's much needed. How you do it will determine your success. I've got my own ideas around this, and played around with it minimally last weekend. The first person that gets this right and can execute will win big.

Good news for you - startup weekend has an event near you in April. BTW, I'm not affiliated with them, but have participated in one in SoCal and find it tremendously valuable. http://beta.startupweekend.org/about/events/ You really should

Very nicely done! Clean and compelling UI. My feedback: 1. The hands have a sort of religious vibe to them - especially when I mouse over it. This might turn away potential users of your app. 2. The UI layout breaks down if I click the

I can tell your team has put a lot of time into this. It's interesting and possibly very valuable. My feedback below: 1. Orange County is NOT Los Angeles! :-) If you're trying to not clutter up the map with too many dots then maybe pic

Wow! How about this: Why don't you "worship" someone you look up to, and let me "worship" someone I look up to? FWIW, I think he HAS built a real company (or two)! He represents something ACHIEVABLE for most of us "normal" people. I'm c

Building a print driver is a very daunting task - so let me clarify. Don't build it yourself! There are programs out there that will serve as the underlying driver and you can hook into it to launch your program upon pdf creation. I beli
