   I pretty much wake up every morning and watch motivational videos on YouTube to keep me going. I'm onto my fourth start-up, third as CTO, and let me tell you start-ups are no walk in the park. The idea that there's even walking in

   Thanks -- specious is a nice word. Never heard that one before. Looks like I got even more out of that experience ;)

   I considered a job out in SF working for a decently well-known guy, Andrew Chen. I had gone through 4 coding interviews progressively working my way up their ladder to their CTO. Now, each of these I did well on but they didn't like ho

   Geez, this is still going on. You apparently have no problem calling people an idiot and seem to be defending it, so let me show you the same courtesy. People like you are what's wrong with the HN community. You're the type that w

   Wouldn't it be fair to say these are all problems faced with any / all deployments? When are logs never going to be a problem or security or state? I appreciate the problems (honestly!), but when it's presented as docker-spec

   I agree, and would enjoy a thoughtful discussion as to why my stack doesn't work and why I'm an idiot. Instead, it's just been countered by 5 bland rebuttals and a debate about whether or not I am an idiot and if I should be

   1 - Yes it does. This is a system problem more than a docker problem. For any relatively experienced engineer, they should be capable of realizing the logs must be stored somewhere and can plan around it. 2 - If a system dies and it has a s

    No but I won't lie -- my mind went there too and I chuckled to myself. Glad to see I'm in good company.

    Of course! That's why I explicitly said everyone has their wisdom to share. Nevertheless, we all must pan our knowledge in some form or another.

    haha ok. Now what about comments in the source code? Should that be specified too? What about SRP inside the code-base? Should that be specified? Come on, we all know when we're pissing off and doing our best. I'm not say we need

    You're mistakenly drawing a parallel between the two words. I am saying a cashier that is not passionate about their job is not _entitled_ to be uncourteous and therefore act unprofessionally.

    To expand on what you said below, imagine someone hires you to code up a simple API. You get started, but then decide you just don't like your job so you write 50% tests and hand it back to the client. Let's say the 50% of other t

    Just as much as I doubt checking me out in a check-out line is anyone's idea of "passion", but it's still rude and unprofessional to not show me courtesy. You don't get a moral blank-check just because you don&#x27

    Yes, but that doesn't mean you should exactly seek out the advice of those who haven't conquered the failures and reached the end of the road of "success". Everyone has their own wisdom to offer, but I would agree with t

    That is the right attitude and sorry, don't mean to dismiss that either. I was just kinda piggy-backing the OP's story with a small tid-bit that I found funny. It's more about poking fun at the "wow!" reactions than

    This would be a great place to prototype an advanced subway system -- say, one that operated with solo cars controlled by a central system. I think a lot about the subway problem because I'm in Manhattan and everyday, it's crazy p

    This is a somewhat novel workflow from what I can gather, so no. If you worked backwards from my flow though, you could figure it out no problem. Maybe I'll do a blog post in the future about it. I just don't have the time these d
