I'm curious as to how you contact them. Do you send a cookie cutter email to each journalist?

Why do I need to register? Can you not just let me add social media accounts to an empty dashboard? As a lazy end-user, I need it to be as painless as possible to get up and running with your service, for me to even try it in the first pla

I get the impression that you want to design stuff, and it's incidental that startups let you do it how you want. Judging by the "I've spent 1000s of hours (I kid you not) designing my products", you're doing the sa

Love the testimonials section. Are you working on this alone?

Good point, perhaps I'm being overly cynical about the buyers intentions. Even if it was about paying the least amount possible, I guess there is no harm in honestly saying you have no idea and later coming to a valuation (that perhaps

Surely you wouldn't want them to know you have no idea? I'd agree the onus is on them to come up with the initial valuation, however I'd let them think I knew how valuable my company was. Disclaimer: I have no idea what I&#x2

Playing devils advocate here, but Ruby's ticked those boxes pretty well in my experience. Also js if you don't mind sacrificing a bit of expressiveness (pseudocode-ish syntax). Don't get me wrong, I do also love python and ca

I was about to comment explaining how this isn't everyone's experience, and how I love London, but realised this isn't the thread to do that. Yes, if you want to save money then don't live in London. I'm currently c

Thanks, that's really useful! What about having done a few internships? I realise it's not the same but I've at least made some mistakes to learn from already. I'm starting a job in September, contracting would just be s

Currently Warwick Uni, I'll be moving back to London though. Any chance you can share what site it was on?

I'm starting a job in September (in SF!), this is just so that I have a bit of money to do a cool tech project with my mini-moto. Thanks though! Any idea what rate I can charge as a masters graduate?

As much as I think it's a good idea, I try my best to not be that "self advertising guy". I mean, I would never just post this link to my CV to get everyone to look at it: https://drive.google.com/file/d&

I'm graduating in CS so I've had a bit of experience across the board. I particularly want to do web development with Angular and Node. I've done internships and projects but I'd still need to do a fair bit of learning

"Now I feel equally exhausted all day" Not sure if you meant that to be hilarious, but it was. Do you mean it helped?

The 2 reasons I love coding: 1. Making stuff. Maybe obvious, but there are very few other fields where you create stuff so freely and easily. And it's not just about being creative, it's also adding value in the stuff you make. 2.

Was in your exact position a few weeks ago. Useful advice that I had was, pick the company that loves the same stuff as you. If you love tech and want to learn and try new stuff, make sure the company feels the same way. If you're craz

On a side note, why is there no notification system for HN? It would be great to know that someone has replied to a comment. Incidentally, I will probably never see if you reply to this.

I only use Fish interactively. It has really nice autocompletion (which I'm pretty sure reads my mind), and cycling tab completion which I like. Also oh-my-fish[1] is awesome. Last I checked it was maintained by one guy, meaning suppor

Try and keep an open mind. I used to be a die-hard Arch user who would never consider even buying a mac. Was given a macbook at an internship and haven't looked back... Well, I have. I love it though. Give it a month to start getting p
