I trust that you have well intentions, but I'd like to dispute most of your points. (I was once a YC founder -- that startup had since been shut down) 1. YC's investment amount can cover your costs while in SF, but not much more t

I also wished voting with your money/feet helped, but probably not the case if not enough people care. Fun story, I went to Iceland 2 years ago. When I did research for car rental, it seemed like car rental companies in Iceland are not

If a company makes a very small profit on it, and it's being used as a retaining feature ("employees cannot get this perk anywhere else"), why would more companies not offer this perk? Seems like something pretty much all com

I am also curious why he didn't remove the post as soon as he noticed? Does TNW have policies regarding published stories not being removed?

I feel like this is the key comment. The other 3 replies to this (Spooky23, CodeWriter23, em-bee) all made good points. TBH, it seems like you actually have a lot of opportunity for together-time during weekdays. It looks like everything fr

The other bonus of Electron (from a user perspective) is it lets companies release software for Linux too. For maybe the first time in history, Linux now gets a release for all these major mainstream services/companies -- I can now hav

Four rounds of interviews is not that many nowadays in 2018. In the past 2 years before I landed in my current role where I'm happy with, I went through about 8~10 rounds of on-sites like that (spread out over 2 years) before getting a

Not speaking for Google Fi at all, but one reason your port-in request might be delayed is because porting in (especially from non-major carriers that people aren't familiar with) can be tricky. I found this link a while back doing som

This all sounds good in theory, but the fact is you'll have trouble landing a job offer, say if you want to be a frontend or full stack web dev and you don't yet know React. True, the FAANGs will take you in as long as you pass th

Hi todsul! My wife and I used to travel a bunch, but we have a 6 month-old now and start to find ourselves pretty pinned down and not easy to go on even short trips. The good thing is I made the jump to a remote job so we now have flexibili

I might be wrong, but I think that program predates Windows and was widely used in pure DOS days. I remember using it to edit config.sys and autoexec.bat to tweak settings to run DOS games, before Windows days. (It could be because having W

Hi! I feel like your question is almost directed at myself :) I'm a new parent with a 5-month-old and I started a remote software dev job pretty much right after our daughter was born. My wife and I also used to be avid travelers befor

> There shouldn't be many all-day interviews. If you are honest on your resume and there is a phone screen, your chances with the interview should be pretty decent. While it's nice to think this is true in an ideal world, havin

To add to your points, the problem is not just missing good engineers because they don't study and play the game, but also hiring bad engineers because they study and play the game. I personally know of people who habitually study FAAN

Is it really as bad as you say? Microsoft is not giving up on making a browser, they are switching rendering engine. I see this as a good thing overall -- one less rendering engine to worry about during dev, but still have a different brows

The main difference is not just the money going to content creators. Like preommr said, the real main difference is all the creepy stuff that's on Youtube that you don't normally see as an adult on your YT account recommended vide

Just so you know, in case you actually are the OP, you used a throwaway account in your original post but your (maybe) real account in this reply. (But looks like this real account is relatively new and has very few posts anyway)

I'm actually legitimately curious too. I'm a backend dev now, but I started working with CSS and frontend since early 00s and that's the only reason I know many of those things. For newer devs coming into web now, I have no i

I've worked at 6 companies now and maybe I'm lucky, I find that there hasn't really been a place where programmers are objectively better at a place over another. Oftentimes people are better at certain things over others, an

Similar to your situation, a good friend of mine was 5 years into his HW(EE) career and was interested in pivoting to SW. I referred him to my company at the time. This was almost 10 years ago. He's now one of the most knowledgeable so

Very good point! I happen to roll down windows every time I start up my car for another reason (the air trapped inside the car while it's parked, probably under sunshine, doesn't feel great to breathe in), but you're totally

I switched to Firefox on Android recently and found that a lot of web sites with a login form, for some reasons, prompts for microphone on Firefox. This applies for major banks web sites like Wells Fargo as well. I suspect there's a co

Purely my own opinions: I feel like scrum gives a lot of benefits from the top end of the organization -- it generates predictable results, there's a clear schedule of development, who's working on what. From leadership perspectiv

Like some others here have already mentioned, the problem is not the TV, it's that you're exhausted from the work day. Chances are your current job is stressful or high work load (or both), or maybe your commute is a nightmare (e.

Unrelated to FB, but one of the things that popular email clients (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.) could be doing is a "forward without links" feature (or even "forward without links with credentials" by detecting for query

I think the "HN answer" nowadays is Mastodon, but I don't use it myself and don't know how well that fits your use case. Falling back to emails doesn't sound like a bad idea to be honest, based on how you describe y

MBP for work like almost all tech companies provide nowadays; and for personal/hobby dev work a Lenovo Ideapad 720s, with Antergos Linux loaded on it (dual boot with Windows). I have to say that installing Linux on that laptop was not

A few years ago I worked in a startup, and to find customers we needed to find web sites using certain technologies (e.g. wordpress and certain plugins). We used the service of an extremely similar SaaS startup for a little bit -- that basi

I honestly would be less ambitious and settle with more it-just-works Linux laptops that devs can trust and maybe mainstream users can learn too. Currently the only one that fits that bill is Dell XPS13 and that comes with just one flavor (
