Exactly. Personally, only a very small fraction of my searches are 'random', about something I've never browsed about before. However, most of my searches are either very predictable (related to stuff I browse, search every d

I've had to maintain some codebases where the previous developer was working alone for 6-30 months. They often share the same issue that bad practices get repeated over and over and over again, not knowing something turning into a habi

I had a bit similar experience. When I was 16 (so around 2008), I had a poker blog, just translating stuff from wikipedia and posting some random 'news'. It was in Lithuania (EU). A small blog, with about 300 daily visitors. A few

You answered your own concern here. >> based on liking the team We all know that the idea without an execution is not worth much. It's easier to halt everything by saying the idea sucks rather than saying that he doesn't be

Of course it is a parody. And have to say, a great one. It's target at ($someRandomWord)Coin coins which emerged recently. Most of them guarantee to be "gpu, asic and fpga resistant" and what not. After BTC got mainstream, th

There is one really good point in the post: expectations. I am naturally an owl. I prefer staying up late, I love sitting in the dark at 2 or 3am. Have no problem if I have to do some extra work and stay up to 5am. But it sucks that if I wa

tl;dr; PHP is not that shitty nowadays thanks to the community, just Web Dev is too fad driven those days. I am writing something a bit against the current fad therefore I expect to find this post at the bottom when come back after dinner.

Exactly! Once a guy walked up to me "Do you have a job?" "Yeah" "Well have the business card anyway" and walked away. I will remember him but probably not in a way he/the company would like to.

Fair points! While I enjoyed reading the post, I just feel it's not really targeted for a (stereo?)typical HNer - introverted nerd. So some advices feel wrong. I have been at a designers meetup-party once out of curiosity and the vibe,

Good point. I would agree even more, if you would replace 'number of comments' with 'number of 1st level comments', or maybe 1st and 2nd. Because in many cases when the story has a lot of comments, the majority of them a

I have this problem for years. Sometimes I spend so much time 'deciding' what to watch, that it gets too late to watch. While actually anything in the given genre, not longer than XYZ minutes and with rotten tomatoes/imdb rat

That's correct. All the servers are connected using the same length cable so that the server at one corner won't receive the data a tiny bit faster than a server at the far corner. So there are simply plenty of unused cable next t

I like more 'physical' processes when it comes to ideas. Allows to take a step back, think about it for a moment. When I'm away from computer, I always have a moleskin notebook in my jacket pocket with a small pen. While work
