Well, I agree, but the article doesn't even have the word "mix" in it, it's "juniors good, seniors bad or at least probably unnecessary".

I guess the question is whether startups, who are usually in intense competition and working against the clock, have the time and energy spare to lead people through that process. I wouldn't have thought so. A good place for juniors to star

I can't believe I'm saying this but it's almost offensive to me that you're comparing 4chan to celebrity news. 4chan is friggin' high art compared to that shit. Celebrity news is the lowest of the low; nothing but easy-to-read brain candy f

Good grief, did you just accuse us all of being spambots? Never mind that everyone here has been an HN member longer than you, but that is a very poor perspective to take. A rational person would note that a number of fairly successful prog

No offence but perhaps you bought the wrong book? Eloquent Ruby is about style and design patterns, it's almost about the philosophy of Ruby code, best practises, aesthetics and the author's experiences. Books like that are fundamentally ab

OK, well I'd never noticed that blog network before. Well congrats anyway to the artist behind that - a great looking, minimalist design.

Well, that's your opinion and it's your right to have it. When you make a web page, don't put women in lingerie on it. Done. But that's not what you said. You said it was NSFW, which I thought was a ludicrous claim and still do. Trying to w

You have got to be kidding me. Who could possibly consider that "NSFW"? I have literally seen more skin being flashed by clothes people are wearing at work. I get the necessity for NSFW warnings where appropriate, but anyone who has a pro
