This is an excellent article. Also brings to mind some of the writing that Nadia Eghbal has been doing recently about open source ( https://medium.com/@nayafia ). Not being an asshole is obviously the right basic mindset. But

Hey fellow HNers. I helped build this app along with a large group of volunteers in r/CodersForSanders. I actually learned Swift to build this app in particular. It's backed by a Rails JSON API. The Android app is another 1-2 week

There's no reason this company can't make you a founder with a year cliff. When you hit your year mark you can decide at that time if the company is worth remaining at relative to school, and if not, continue on with your educatio

Duolingo is pretty nice, but often the voices are odd and I'm not so sure the pronunciation detection is accurate. Hard to complain for a free product, of course. Lingvist is fairly new and French-only for now, yet I feel like I'm

This is precisely my concern when servicing clients. Have you (or has anyone else) worked as a client-facing development team and successfully dealt with this tension? Obviously in the case of great clients this becomes a non-issue, but whe

Thanks! Having the click seek to it was my ideal. Unfortunately the player is an iframe, so I'm not sure how to hijack that. I could just do HTML5 audio or something, but then we don't get the benefit of Simplecast's analytic
