I wish I could verbalize why seeing a software's personality through humor like this makes me appreciate it more, but I can't seem to explain it. Even things like Google's Fudd option - http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=xx-elmer - reminds me

Pedantic might be a little harsh, but I see your point. You have no idea how spammy job board people (yes, I'm part of this crowd) can get when they find a new field to peddle their wares. We're just shameless. And if there's isn't some thr

As much as I'd like to mention my own/better solution, this isn't the venue for job boards to say "come to my site." We spam enough sites with our links as it is. "Ask HN: Who is Hiring" is for actual job posts. Plain and simple.

I have been playing with that, the problem is that everything is really just cool within its context. We also try to follow the logic that good code must be easy to understand, not the kind of magic code that works great but can't be debugg

Only thing missing in this is the local newspapers lacking local news point. I honestly don't read the St Paul Pioneer Press for reviews on the iPad - there are much more relevant places for me that information from more intelligent sources

That's pretty much 95% of the posts on UsesThis. Which I wrote off at first as being elitist, but the more top tier developers you meet the more you realize that it is actually the norm. The interesting thing is that for those not using a A
