The debt that MBAs leave school with, and the peer push towards making it big (the finance crowd) create guys are just too singularly focused on the financial aspects of a situation, whereas many developers are happy to simply be working on

The fact they both left shortly after a year would perhaps point to something a bit more substantial than a signing bonus. More like a retention bonus tied to the acquisition. That's what I thought when I read about LC's departure the oth

I think more specific context on "SQL databases don't scale" might be appropriate here, especially for the noob hackers that are figuring out just which technology to use in building their first or second apps. Is it worth ignoring default

Yeah, I can't say I feel all that sorry for this guy. He got his 15 minutes of HN fame, if that's what he was after. This is a more interesting to me as a Pitchfork copyright/trademark issue: http://pitchforked.com/ (Context here: http:

Eh. Not sure it's "the future" in its current form. While clicking next a few times (read: few hundred) is strangely addicting, a session feels like a bad night at the poker table - empty, wasteful, and morally depraved. Without filters o

"Inevitably" vs. "necessarily" vs. "may no longer/have been" is an important distinction. The community itself, the nitty gritty of the mechanics, and moderation all play a role in success/failure in respect to the underlying biz goal(s).

Agreed - pretty good implementation. But I wonder how sales in the higher price range (> $500 or so) are going. Historically, fine art pricing (especially as prices move out of the range of the casual shopper) has been very much tied t
