That's ok if you think that, but look at it from the perspective of time management. I don't have all the time in the world to give everyone a chance. I would love to, but I can't and so a simple rule like "No bootcamper

As a CTO, I strictly will not hire them. They have an incredibly basic outlook unless they really do their homework and apply themselves. I'll take the college grad with good fundamentals and decent coding skills over the bootcamp grad

The problem tarballs solve is bundling files together. That use-case will probably be with us for awhile even if it has fallen out of favor for source code.

It just depends upon your aims. If you're trying to convey an idea in hopes of transferring knowledge then yes -- write like you would talk to ease the others' cognitive load. If you're a fantasy writer, it would get pretty d

I agree with your overall sentiment, but do think there's value in others relating to each other and then talking about it. > There is no such thing as "a normal amount of eye contact" Yep. When you really learn that every

It makes me happy that the author is better understanding himself and not hiding behind blanket terms like "social anxiety" as if he were forever prisoner to the label. > I think probably because I stop caring about being weird

There should be a wikipedia for these. Argupedia.

I don't like that there has to be 2 ways to do one thing. For example: https://docs.python.org/2.0/ext/dynamic-linking.html

In the startup world, it's definitely dead, which is probably a decent indicator of a trend that will eventually engulf the entire business world. If my business goes huge, there's no way in hell we're running on Windows and

I secretly hope Microsoft and Windows dies. Then we can unite underneath a common core -- Unix!

Haha DARE. Oh yes, I remember it well -- I got all the stickers you could by giving some bogus talks about God knows what. It made me pretty excited for middle school where I was being trained to Just Say No to all the random kids that woul

By defining `gas()` in the children, you can't take advantage of it in base class. For example, the base robot might know how to move and all that, but the sunny robot just needs to know where it's going. Protocol extensions just

I really like Swift too, but for serious usage, I find that it still gets kinda wonky in generics land. Also, not crazy about the fact that there's no such thing as abstract classes. A lot of iOS coding for me is stuff that builds on t

Is this a good thing? Or bad? Sure, we want it to replace money but that doesn't seem feasible when all debts in your given country must be paid with your given country's currency. This now puts it in the running with things like

I think the biggest problem with equivocating or lying in general is that you're not truly owning up to your actual situation. OP didn't get offer 70k; he got offered 65k. Maybe that's what he's better worth or maybe he

I like this. I was using API Blueprint and I found it just way too verbose for simple things. This looks like yaml and has a nice simple way about it that appears to be easily expandable to cover all those complicated edge cases. I suspect

I was joking :) I totally understand. You're right though, I should have said "I"

How do you not code while high?! You get tunnel-vision and become a super-abstract thinker. Code is just made up abstractions and being high often involves vivid, creative imaginations. You combine the two and literally anything is possible

This is my life (healthy/productive life while high 24/7). A lot of people are baffled that they know me both as their hardest working friend & their most consistently high friend. Doesn't make any sense to the person who

^ Yes. I love my diary, and some of my entrires go back to when I was 18 (27 now). What gets to me is how drastic a mental change could be from just months ago to where I am now. I'll read something I wrote months ago and think "H

There's opportunities for everyone who works hard toward achieving their vision. Many times, not being born into wealth ends up being a greater driver than being born into it. In my personal experience, all those ones you probably envy

While this might not be the right thing to say, I feel compelled to say it nevertheless: nothing can hurt you unless you give it power to do so. When I was in the heat of it and naturally did not want to work, I eventually reached a place o

I worked extremely hard at my last start-up to the point of being completely burnt out. I'm happy because it made me stronger, but I'll never forget being over and for about 4-5 months after, never looking at a computer. I didn&#x

Ah, UpCounsel, nice to see you on Hacker News! I got ripped off on UpCounsel. It was my fault for selecting a poor lawyer who raised his rates three times after his initial offer. If you use them, watch out for these types. They'll com

Sure, but I would argue the root feeling of perseverance should be "I can do this" not "I can withstand this," which is a victim-mentality that reinforces work = pain. It's this mentality that causes burn-out, re
