One more question, I read from your other replies below that there are 3 of you running this now. Does it take all 3 of you full time to run this? Or is it reasonable to operate solo?

This is probably a good place to ask as any; I might be interested myself (depending on the price point you're looking for), so I'm going to ask more questions: - What price point are you looking for? 1 year profit, 2 year profit,

If this is a project inside a big, established company, it should be relatively easy to move horizontally to a separate project (perhaps no longer as lead engineer). If it's a relatively small company, then it sounds like there's

Ask HN: Is there a market (both supply/demand) for half-time software engineers?

Super cool. Is US Census data easy to work with as a developer? How much of your work was spent on parsing out the data to be a useful format?

Zoho is pretty much free for personal uses. They charge per user per month, but under 25 users is free, and if you're not a business you don't have that many users. I have numerous personal projects that are web sites/web app

To add to what others have said so far, I think the real case where this comes in useful is when a startup is failing and going down. A lot of times startups have good engineering teams but are shutting down for various reasons (most likely

Just wanted to make some suggestions for ideas and not meant to critique -- one can get a fairly good laptop for coding nowadays at a fairly low price; just don't stick with a Mac like what everyone thinks you have to. (which costs $10

A lot of my peers around my age (mid thirties) have been actively moving out of SF specifically. I think it might be a matter of targeting the right pool of candidates to look at.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame YC. YC actually encourages founders to be smart about their funding money and not spend a premium just to HQ in SF if at all possible. Problem is a lot of founders just feel so inclined to work in SF.

I hold what could be an unpopular opinion and what some might call irrelevant, but I think a big factor here is tech. To preface what I'm about to state, I work in tech myself and I know many of you are, and I'm not blaming tech f

I find it a bit odd that both you and the parent commenter (acemarke) seemed to have interpreted the post in a completely different tone than I did. I didn't find anything in the original blog post in the tone of a "complaint&quot

There's a lot of complaint about Google AMP and Facebook Instant Articles, e.g. walled garden, anti-open-web and whatnot. Here's something simpler from a non-developer, average-consumer point of view. I recently began taking BART

That's cool. Is there data for outside of San Francisco? For example, Brentwood? I am considering moving to Brentwood since Sonic offers fiber there. Would like to learn more about their coverage.

I think it's a personal commitment thing. For example, after being married, I'd like to commit to having dinner with her all (or almost all) days of the week, whereas before, I was pretty ok with staying later at work and grab a b

Having gotten married recently, things have already changed quite a bit, before even having kids. I have a similar job and commute as you do. I also recently had the opportunity to change jobs and made it a point to join a place that doesn&

I actually have somewhat of an opposite opinion on this. As HN readers and being "in" the cutting edge front of tech, we know that things like this is possible (I first learned of this seeing Adobe demo it a while ago), but this i

I do the exact same thing (Caret with SFTP folder) on my chromebook for lightweight dev (when I only have access to my chromebook at a coffee shop and only have to do some light work, not really deep stuff). Caret is passable but VSCode or

I think the issue isn't that it's asking for notif permission at all, it's that it's asking at the wrong time. Most mobile app developers and designers should know that you wait till the moment before it's needed be

Just curious, what's your data source? I'm not a potential consumer or competitor, just wanted to know where one would go about getting something like weather forecast data to provide as an API. If you feel that information is par

I have to say I had a very similar experience as you did in my interviews as well. I felt like I did at least decent, if not pretty good, and not getting the offer from 2 of them. The place I did land, may only be because it's a small

This is going to be very anecdotal, and may be unrelated, but here's another data point. I recently went through the shutdown of a startup and also had to find a new job. This was my first time seriously job hunting in 10 years as I go

I feel like you shouldn't be downvoted (is that what lighter grey comments mean on HN?). Although this is a rather negative outlook, this actually gives a different perspective that's helpful to people who have no knowledge at all

I too worked on a Messenger-based text game, and found that when you're sending sequential messages, the trick (though unnatural) is to add delays not based on the current message being "typed" by the code, but based on the p

Right. I actually don't mind the 50 history items, but it definitely feels like a bug when the URL changes upon hitting Back but does not update the visible slide.
