Well you should keep in mind I hire on Upwork, so not everything carries over to real-life. In real-life, these kinds of issues should be recognized during the hiring process. Since most Upwork devs are BS-artists, it's not worth my ti

I really like the overall branding / design of this tool. Nice work. Going to give it a shot.

And engineers can't handle the easy development? For a CTO, a long-term view is necessary and he probably wants software engineers in the long-term -- not just developers who have limited utility.

Do you think nerds is a special subset of humans? ;) Believe me, it's practically the same conversations on HN as a bunch of guys at the bar arguing over who the best player is in the NFL. Nerds are generally proud of their mental dext

You left out education in your function, which I think is paramount to hard work & talent & luck. The education will give you direction, which is an input into your hard work and the catalyst for the discovery of your natural talent

It's funny because the means through which big business tech companies have "co-opted the same technologies startups used to attack them" is through buying said startups. So no, I don't think it's all over. You can&

Same here. I was fortunate to read it when I was young & impressionable (~16). It left a profound effect on me that's hard to succinctly express.

Some quotes from a guy who went mad thinking about quality. In short, you don't want to stop talking about quality but learn how to move toward it. And no, quality is not a boolean value nor does it have to create fears of judgment. Th

An article from an LA-based author telling you to "just chill"? You don't say... It's best to be honest with yourself and come to terms with where you are in life and where you want to be. After that, unless you put acti

It was coherent and I would not define it as snark. You don't comprehend his point yet you have the wherewithal to label it as incoherent & snarky -- that's snarky. But I digress.. Python users had a choice to stay in 2.7 land

I actually think you're in the norm. The "why" helps create a belief; a belief is something that ignites action. Without it, someone's belief as to why they should learn [X] is too often defined as "to get a good gr

I'm annoyed I didn't know that. I read it as once separated, and got the overall message, but was part of the reason I found it so funny to read. Now that I've built that association, I guess it's simpler. It's weir

You think it sounds funny for a reason :) I think that it's an awkward pairing that needs context. You're immediately thinking "once removed from what?" and then scanning for what it is. This can be a burdensome way to e

I suppose, but I'm not from SF. I'm originally from CT then went to school in Boston, and met my ex who shares same hometown as Priscilla.

I already know how I'm connected to the big Z, and amusingly enough it is close to their 3.5 degrees of separation. My ex-girlfriend (1) has an aunt (2) that has a cousin who is Priscilla (3) who is wife of Z (4). We'll meet somed

I fully agree. I've seen this happen with my younger self countless times. I would get excited about an idea, tell someone all about it, and then suddenly feel less motivated to work on it. Anything I'm serious about, I try not to
