Thanks for the link to Gayle's post. This is what I have concluded also. Near the beginning of our hiring process I explain to the candidate all the steps in the process and why each step exists. I acknowledge the process isn't pe

Wow! No excuses now. With pairNIC you can call up and talk to a technical person during business hours in Pittsburgh, PA.

Last I checked pairNIC was > $15/year for .com etc. That adds up when you have many domains. Therefore I use pairNIC for the domains I really care about, and Namecheap for the rest.

I am generally in favor of the idea of the OP, but the core utilities do differ across environments and this will bite you sooner or later. I was bit recently by some pretty boring search and replace functionality differing between sed on

Are you in the Bay Area? The sheer intensity of everybody constantly asking if you'd consider working for them means that you naturally must put up some defenses in order to stay focused.

I was being precise with "Silicon Valley". Just as SV is the undisputed world leader in VC, it also has earned a unique reputation for lack of "tithing".

A friend referred me to an attorney at a well-known SV firm. She gave me a free consultation back and forth over email. By my own judgement as well as that of the founders and attorneys of my new company, the advice was good. It covered bot
