   Look into ".gitignore", also consider manually adding the files you've worked on and wish to commit.

   "Reasonable" is a perfectly good word for it - unfortunately I found it impossible to efficiently communicate with Bob. You raise a good point about others adapting to his needs. Apart from one other person, everyone in the engi

   He is the exception to the rule in many ways and had some of the best engineers helping with the communication aspect. It's not really comparing apples to apples.

   This might be controversial but here goes... On the other side of the coin I had an unforgettable interview experience for a role that really questioned my pro-viewpoint on disability in the workplace. Prior to this interview I was a firm

    I was job hopping in Amsterdam where the market is saturated by VC-backed SaaS startups. The churn rate was insane. Many of the teams I worked on have churned so much not one member is still there I worked with - in a space of 18-24 month

    I checked and it worked ok for me? Perhaps HN didn't like the colon after LinkedIn. Thanks anyway

    While I lived in Amsterdam I could have made LOTS of money from AirBnB, and again where I live now close to the mountains. However, I offer a room on CouchSurfing and to friends-of-friends in sporting activities I do..... for ZERO. Nada. Zi

    Thank you for explaining. The range of knowledge communicated in an understanding manner on HN never ceases to amaze me. Definitely feel I learn something every day!

    For me, like many I'm sure, it turned recruitment completely on it's head. Previously I would spend hours trawling job boards, composing cover letters and get excited at the prospect of one successful reply. It was soul destroying

    Motivational seminars are huge business. I was reading an article the other day about the whole "improve your self esteem" market which swept the US in the 80s/90s. It's fascinating to me as a Briton because we don&#x27

    Sounds more like metaphorical sugar - a brief top-up of excitement to keep the brain in high alert mode. Think Facebook notifications. The excitement is not knowing what the notification is telling you about.

    Perhaps YT should have a tiered paid account system - as a content creator you pay a small monthly fee (relative to the local country) to cover costs... say €1 per month for 10hrs of content? As the channel grows in size (and ideally, viewi
