I would be curious to see a HN poll of people's sentiment towards job demand across the US and different countries. I know in both Silicon Valley and in Chicago demand is pretty high right now for all kinds of tech, but especially for the s

If you are sending documents back and forth with clients then I still think word is better. The fully integrated review mode is nice showing the history, not versions of the documents. Also, the only time I really focus on non-code for hour

I can see what you mean here - my wife is my life partner, and she is a fantastic balance outside the support my business partner and I provide each other. But she has other things going on - her life is more than just waiting to hear about

I'm very impressed that works for Yoga studio owners. Do you have anyone balk at the requirements for this such as the bank account?

Awesome news for square. I am very eager to see how this changes the natures of: 1) The Starbucks App - will square replace it outright or will there be an option to use starbucks or square? 2) Paying with a card at starbucks - same registe

Some things have changed, for others it will take more time. One other thing to note: for me at least, this was the last time I felt comfortable giving them feedback about why I left - I am not going to tell my former boss who I still get d

I disagree. If you are leaving and if you care at all about the place I don't think you will burn bridges by being honest. Maybe my experience has been different, I have never left a job because of an asshole boss but more freqeuntly becaus

While I agree with the author's point about these ads - they don't feel like Apple to me, and they definitely are not great ads - his closing saying that this is no longer Steve Jobs's Apple is hyperbolic. On the one hand - of course it isn

1) First, I am speaking from an assumption I hold that hiring people to work for you of all stripes, which means moving beyond the cis-white-males that are more common, leads to better teams, better products and better execution. 2) I usual

I did not miss the word, just disagreed with his premise that assets are an important distinction. That being said, wikis are not hard to study, its incredibly common and they are high on the list of the favorite things to discuss among col

Completely agreed with this. My best friends from High School and college were those I was doing something with, not just hanging out. I'm still friends with those folks and have tried repeatedly over the years to capture that feeling and t

But Github is about one specific kind of real work. The conversations that happen on Jive and Yammer are also real work, as are the documents made in corporate/public wikis (which are studied extensively) and the work assets made and stored

I wasn't so bothered by the fact that it was opinionated but that it's examples had such obvious and in some cases faulty assumptions. The idea that America will become an exporter of oil due to natural gas is, pardon the pun, a pipe dream.

Highly disagreed. I think assuming that people want an in-store experience when the extra information from online shopping is such a net gain is just an old way of thinking. Look at some of the work coming out of the best retailers, are fro

Putting Sandberg on its Board is no surprise given that Sandberg is seen as critical to FB's operations and success by both the press and by Zuckerberg. So, the only interesting part of this is the timing - why now, several weeks after the

A different opinion from a UVA alum: The "revolt" of the faculty is partially due to the Board wanting to close marginal academic departments because they can't pay for themselves, like Classics (which studies Greek and Latin texts from the

He wasn't. He had nothing to do with this before the removal of Sullivan. He is retiring because he is upset the Board is trying to run UVA as a business rather than a university - different forms, different causes.

Disagree. In the comments on HN we are free to discuss this without emotion, or referring to emotion but keeping it in check with logical arguments that respect the system, the inventor(s) and the critical user. I find it unreasonable to ex
