I really believe that the root of MongoDB's success is how easy they made getting started: A trivial installer, no configuration, and a trivial tutorial -- boom, suddenly a million developers were on their side. It seems ridiculous, re

They seem wildly undervalued by silicon valley Many "older" entrepreneurs are simply building businesses and quietly earning success. Let's be real -- $20K is significantly lower than unsecured credit lines many established

I've encountered the "truly quiet" environment a few times, and really found that the worst of all: Every noise of the most meek activities, from the clicking of a mouse button to the quiet clearing of a throat, rings through

This is immensely frustrating because it is clear the OP doesn't have the money. Many organizations pay headhunters tens of thousands of dollars for a hire. Each person costs $100K+ (often significantly more) fully loaded. Yet someho

Now, I would say Twitter’s users are worth 2-5x as much as the average FB users because the product is just much more “upscale.” What a strange claim. As an aside, recently the Facebook app (at least on Android) embedded its own web brows

Emphasis on SUBJECTIVE before you indicate my opinion is wrong because you have a different opinion. That's pretty-much what subjective means. I thought HN was smarter than this. Yet you spent your entire post claiming that the inter

Yes. It was. It is. This disagreement by you is false. See, we can both do that. Fun. However in my case I'm supported by this very development , where Microsoft is essentially backtracking based upon enormous customer resistance and

I guess the implication is that people who watch football don't care or are simply to stupid to realize what's going on. Which is an asinine, ignorant bit of comical sophistry. It's the sort of thing that people who are cov

I really don't see any reason to be offended by the comment. As someone who enjoys football, I am offended by the comment. It presents a cheap, fictional dichotomy -- this notion that on one side are people who watch football (and ap

Ah, sweet delicious sarcasm. Always the last resort. There is absolutely nothing drawing anyone who doesn't want to use Go into using it. There are zero external forces or dependencies that are making you build solutions in Go. So wh

If being able to get things out the door anyway This is specious logic. People are not being told to use Go grudgingly because it is mandatory. It isn't a required component of some entrenched industry dictum. The only possible rea

To someone coming from a language like Rust, saying that your type system doesn't have generics is like saying your car doesn't have wheels. It's just considered non-negotiable. Analogies are almost always useless diversion

For sure, but in a way it's a bit of a chicken and egg issue. Spend lots of time making content to see the same sputter and occasional luck on the social news sites. There was a time a few years ago when you could ask what the best tec

Is this an example of someone adding an irrelevant citation to try to add an air of authority where they have none? Technology blogs used to be fairly significant ventures. Now there are shockingly few that are still maintained, and even th
