"Sorry for the snarky reply" is not enough, considering that you wrote it at the same time you could have gone back and rewrite the text into a polite, well-worded argument. That's just condescension - if you really were sorr

a: $port != 22 is enough to thwart most bots and skiddies. If you think the port number is a guarantee that you are safe or that you are communicating with a blessed ssh you are sadly mistaken. b: Uhh the port number means nothing.

"For an organization that fishes for ideas like it already owns them, its application process sure does suck. Not too innovative or creative there. " Okay, so you think it sucks. How about offering up a solution. As it stands, you are still

I just show up and leave when I want. Being the average human I only think about things that impact me. Rather short sighted and selfish I know. But I have never thought about why people do not negotiate work hours because I assumed everyon

Switch modifications should never stop work. Prod code push != prod infrastructure changes. Which is what the article is talking about. Specifically the agg. switching layer. My reply is not about code deployments. It is about managing netw

I just realized that the Sys. Admin/Prod. Ops to Developer ratio here is crazy low. Everyone assumes I am talking about code changes when the article is about prod switching and network transit device changes. MLAG or any LAG technology, L

Shipping code changes is a different beast. I am talking about the infrastructure side of things. I have built large scale percentage-deployment, slice deployment (whatever you want to call them) scenarios like you speak of but modifying an

Yep, it is a long time which is why I mean to speak specifically on the infrastructure side of things. Modifying the agg layer providing connectivity for all prod systems during a holiday weekend would suck. When I say prod, I mean prod inf

Note to Github: Freeze prod changes two weeks before and two weeks after all major holidays. Your employees probably don't appreciate the hassle when all they are thinking about is "YEAH! DAYS OFF!" Just my opinion and how I run my systems

I have been working on this for two years. It is very difficult but the key is getting access to sellers before they talk to a realtor. That is how I did it. If you get the information before a realtor does you can avoid issues of conflicti

The whole premise of the post in the link is something that has been said a million times before. Yes, execution is everything... So what. Everyone already knows this. It makes me wonder if all of us are trying to convince ourselves that we

I have a huge tattoo on my arm. I am happy and I consider myself successful. It depends on what you mean when you say "curtains for your career" I would imagine.

I would not worry about what an accelerator tells you. I am a single founder and having sold one company, and failed at many others I can say that I have been successful. Subvert the dominant paradigm. Just build it and sell it like your li

To clarify, I was not saying "people will not use it because you need to use the Facebook login service" I was speaking for myself. There is a large body of individuals that will participate and a minority of stubborn curmudgeons like me th

Any site that requires Facebook to login is a site I will not use. So, my feedback: it sucks until you implement login that does not rely on a third party that is known for its questionable privacy practices. After you do that, I would defi

Yes, I would definitely keep it private. How could I say I cared about the disclosure of personal data and then disclose it? Thanks Solo3.

OP: One thing is for sure if you don't try you won't have the chance to find out. Actually, I am going to apply for the new YC round. Think about it, if you are in the same round as I, then we can be the guys with no college degree. The wor
