The real issue is that you shouldn't have much code to clean up in the first place. If you occasionally need to hack something out to ship it before its effect is lost — go for it. Clean it up the next time you touch it. If you're constantl

Exactly. I find the reason most startups have trouble hiring is that they're expecting to nab these people in their late 20s with loads of experience for the price of someone fresh out of college, wet behind the ears and bright-eyed and bus

Fair enough. I hear this complaint a lot from people who came from warmer climates. Myself, I was born and raised in the Midwest, where we had a very normal distribution of seasons. So I find SF's weather very agreeable.

San Francisco is even colder, darker, and wetter than Mountain View... Not true. Yeah, that's how winter is here. Winter sucks everywhere. The other eight or nine months of the year are non-stop sunshine and warm-to-cool temperatures, unl

Yeah, it's a terrible puzzle. That must be an awkward situation, opening a present like that, knowing someone spent a couple hundred dollars on something so silly and then having to thank them. However, the whole part of this post about ext

I don't comment here very often but when I see something so off the mark I have to speak up. This is a short investment for Zynga. They were probably on the cusp of raising more than this amount before the whole "Scamville" story gave them

I'm right there with you on your other hobbies, but I do enjoy video games and don't comprehend your reasons here. You sound like you have an axe to grind with video games. Video games are anti-social. Video games aren't cultural. Come on.

I second you on Toronto. I lived there for a few months and was absolutely amazed at how clean it was. Recycling, compost, and trash bins on every corner. Whenever I tell people about Toronto, the first thing I talk about is its cleanliness

If you look at his tweets you see that he got miffed over LoveFest this weekend. And that he made a passive-aggressive post about making this post. http://twitter.com/al3x He should reconsider living in a big city. Yes, SoMa had both Love

Reminds me of the incredibly creative hack where one of the iPodLinux developers dumped the iPod's bootloader by sounding out ticks on its crappy piezo. Archive.org link: http://web.archive.org/web/20070519081643/http://www.ipodlin...

Any chance we can see scores when we're looking at our own comments section? Often when I notice a bump in my karma I look at my comment threads to see what was so popular.

The best way to see the US is to drive it. I do it once a year and recommend it to everyone I know. I find that spending a couple of days driving through plains and desert is like defragging your mind. And when you finally hit a coast, it's
