what's also neat is making "glasses" that display all tv's as off by refreshing at the appropriate rate.

my husband and i don't eat out. in fact, we live in a cooperative with 7 other folks in order to efficiently share rent, utilities, grociers, chores and cooking. $45? oof. there's some software i pay for, but that's because it's worth it. a

i know this is just one anecdote, but i respect that people often get what they pay for. you sound like a compassionate, collaborative, we are all in it together person. i bet you build teams. you weed out the non-committers from the begi

sarcasm? i like to be authentic 100%. i try not to think to hard about how "business" really works. i like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, rather than think everyone is trying to manipulate a self-centered win.

this is all pretty good advice, especially the reviewing past [code] experiences and getting a sense for what it'd be like to work with the person. i like staunch's "spend a day with the team" method a lot, though talking about strengths/we

the todo-list with dates product grabbed my interest, but i didn't find the design all that compelling. for scrum-style development i've fallen in love with pivotal tracker (which was recommended via a project management software poll on hn

btw - i think you won't receive the invite until the next "wave" of users. i'm guessing they're staggering users with product iteration. almost everyone i talk to says: this is cool, but none of my friends are on it. maybe google is address

1. and 2. are spot-on. i treat many of my projects as collaborative open source projects before i even have collaborators. the weekend netflix api wars are total hacks, but anything complicated and persistent is so much better if i take the

corporate work spaces always bothered me this way. i don't have any trouble focusing and working on stuff. in fact, i only started using hacker news (let's face it, it's procrastination) when i started working at a company after college. it

i wonder about your example. is it that i don't know where my time goes, or that i lack the means to change my habits? perhaps both are occurring, since sometimes knowing just how much time is wasted on <foo> provides motivation to

the not-native comments for tumblr surprised me, too. i don't like the disqus solution, though i think anonymous comments are still possible. i don't like the design of tumblr themes, but that's obviously personal. i guess i'm more of a wor

when would that be useful? people usually have a single blog rather than duplicates at different domains...otherwise your users and comments are fragmented. furthermore, the features are in the interfaces for writing and reading posts. you
