Can't agree more with Patrick, mine is formulated a bit differently: Lesson #1: Don't push code on Friday afternoon. Lesson #2: Beer, Code and Commit is totally fine. Just don't push! Wait until next day to review and push&#x

I'm really surprised you were still on GoDaddy.. but good thing you moved away. And yes, sometimes small tasks like moving domains can feel like moving a mountain.

That's the kind of projects I think about in the shower or when I'm procrastinating. I need to hack on X. - Current editors suck, I should create an editor. - Current languages suck, I should create a language, and I'll bui

It always seems so obvious in retrospect but it's hard to think clearly when you're in the gist of doing it and you have a mountain on your shoulders. Something - how so stupid, I'll admit - that I realized is that even if sm

Take Javascript, if you want to iterate over a list, you have dozen of ways. One could hardly argue that one is better. Some prefer using built-in foreach, some .map, some underscore, some the native for(). As you say, great code is great c

I agree. Although the flexibility of configuration is nice, it's sometimes I big turn-off. Personally, I've had a time where loved to configure Vim and Emacs (I've used both extensively). These days I'm using Sublime bec

Although I love lisps, I'd rather jump in a very large Python project than a lisp one. Jumping into someone else Lisp code feels like a jungle to me. Jumping into someone else's Python code feels like my old good slipper. Part of

I didn't say "Work at 30-40% of their capacity". The job environment is obviously a very important factor when considering a position.. some developers preferred to have a smaller salary in exchange for a better work environm

I think explaining that "Most senors developers can leave and get another job with a 30-40% higher pay" and that "most current developers stay because of the flexible time and casual environment" is a very strong point.

To be clear, I didn't mean to sneak in illegally. I meant that smart startups who really want to get in YC don't just write an application. They find people in (other startups in YC, mentors, investors) and network their way in.

You could definitely write some blog posts about these ideas. I think it could be a great way to find technical co-founders willing to contact you about them. Also, city tech events might be a good place.. such as startup drink and the like

The concern is also about needing to hire two different people all the time. It slows down the workflow so much.. it's way easier to have one person in charge of it and being able to design, hack and tweak it as the projects evolve.

I like how you created real games instead of just demos. The third one is really addictive, I've played one very similar on the iphone. (I think it was called Impossible game or something similar). Maybe as a next game it could be simi
