   In this case PCP = post consumer plastic. Think micro plastic particles from ocean debris and trash washed off short.

   I'm digging Front [0] right now. The shared inboxes are great to manage the tons of emails my founders and I get each day, as is the ability to comment on emails without having a huge reply chain in the email history. It also has som

   This is a whole ball of worms: - Cofounders should have a roughly even equity split, with the min being no more than 10% less than the max (unless there is a significant factor like one founder investing 100k+ into the business at conceptio

   So... this is just a new take on "surveys for cash" right? What you are really saying is that your app gets poor people to click buttons or watch adds, then they get a small discount. Basically you're offering a (far) less

   Checkout https://segment.com . They are super duper easy to send the data to, and have a ton of integrations.

   Using excel as a calendar. My whole startup is built around replacing this terrible process with a good web-app, and automating the scheduling process. The saddest part is that most of US healthcare runs this way- doctors and medical admi

   YC provides an ethics statement and code of conduct to every startup they fund, and is serious about following up on this. The "startup = growth" and "hack-the-system" are good mantras inside or outside YC, but are not a

   Not quite what you are looking for, but there are lots of fun challenge sites out there you can use to learn and practice. http://www.wechall.net/ has a good list.

   I don't think an open community would work very well. The signal::noise ratio for each individual would be very high and they would have no social obligation to follow up with eachother. It seems no different than posting the latest

    Seconded! It's definitely worth the time to point out edge cases, bugs, and documentation issues. 1 hour of your time to file a good issue might save you 10 hours in a month when the project maintainers resolve it, and everyone else i

    Sounds like she was making a general point there. It seems ok to include in a list of junior dev tips, if for no other reason than a friendly reminder. Also, many junior devs are fresh out of college, where boob-staring is a fond past time

    What's your stack? We might be interested in that. Probably looking at 1099, unless you're willing to take a significant reduction in pay since we provide full healthcare benefits, etc. Small YC startup here- https://

    I ended up using constructors to create instances of an object, and Object.create to enable inheritance when defining the object. function Person(name, birthday, ...) { ... } Person.prototype = Object.create(Animal.prot

    It's a comfortable environment where you can discuss what's happening to you, how you are thinking about it, and how it makes you feel. The psychologist will be able to provide suggestions about the situation, your way of thinkin

    1. Quitting and finding a new job doing the same thing (dev I presume) might not solve the issues. It could lead to additional stressors that worsen the problem. 2. As an employer, make it easy for me! Be able to say what's going on

    I'm sure that's intentional, to prevent the creation of bubble filters in the community. HN is already going to select for a very narrow range of people, so it does no good to further exclude parts of the community from potential

    I re-use my code less across projects in the web, but well designed MVC or MVVM can save you a lot of time. Just by having models available, I can re-use them on every page. This turned out to be a life saver when I had to analyze / m

    HCI. The 'front-end' encompasses far more than just web dev, and some of it is quite interesting. VR? Smart cars? AI? People all need to interact with them. Even standard web app problems can get quite complex on the UI. For

    Great breakdown, adding a few modifications: 1. I'd use a SAFE [0]. They are simpler than a convertible note since they don't have the debt instrument and match up with the investment intent more fully- to get equity at a future

    Working remote is especially hard for small startups to do because it limits speed, adds overhead, and most importantly excludes an early member from adding directly to the culture. The startups I know either do not allow remote work at al

    Maybe that's because best !== popular, or best !== publicity? At least you are seeing the best stuff, even if its on the second page. Which is pretty good considering in the past you'd need to convince a journalist to write an
