A spreadsheet was created last year with french salaries of startups, it's pretty informative. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zjvz-Ud2TR3rco2BTq0X...

not saying that in a negative way, and I agree that for someone who understands IRC, IRC is great! But this comment is very similar to the infamous rsync comment on the Dropbox original Show HN post. Most people don't know IRC, are p

I don't know if I would recommend NOT using json when starting out (I'm on the side of pushing for a monolith for as long as possible), but yes omg I've been there. I've migrated multiple services out of our monolith int

Lots of acquihire indeed. And in the case of sparrow and a lot of others, it was a secret. So one could wonder who is to blame; Google for acquihiring companies to fulfil hiring needs, or those companies that accept to get acquihired depist

which are... none? I don't mean to be cynical sorry, but social benefits are US citizen subject that warrant such high taxes while living abroad? We live in NL and definitely don't get/need any benefits from the US.

I think they took that from Elixir? This is done also on elixir docs!

My wife if a US citizen and we are living abroad right now. Not sure what benefits you are talking about that warrants paying a tax while abroad.

I had fun building our wedding website without any JS just to see how much I could push the boundaries of CSS and HTML. That was fun and a good learning experience. I'll now be able to build better apps _with JS_ knowing where it makes

I'm kind of a ruby guy, and I started with the elixir intro from their website. Very clear and well documented. Then I built a website using Phoenix and learnt through that. Docs in elixir are first class citizen, so everything is very

what does "mixed with other coins" mean exactly? If I own a wallet, and someone steals coins and "mix" their coins with mine in my wallet, they eventually have to get those coins back right? So I probably know them and c

I would like to have an ELI5 too! I understand that coins could be sent and blurred into a lot of different wallets, etc. but still have trouble understanding how it is so hard to follow, since the money eventually has to be either sent to

its 10-12 weeks from confidential filing. We can expect the next 2 weeks to be quiet for preparing the roadshow, then 2 weeks on the road then IPO.

sorry I'm mistaken with something else but can't remember what!

I'm not judging if the author did something right or wrong, but that he got "ridiculed" for doing something his coworkers judged wrong, and that he insults them back.

You don't always need masters. A full stack engineer will build your a rails app that might work perfectly for the whole life of your business. Only when your business scales (a lot) that you need people that are more and more speciali

I'm a full stack developer. I thought I was going to agree with the article, at least for some parts, but I actually disagree completely. What the article says is true, but you could replace fullstack with any other role, name the arti

True but it's very hard to rationalise. I only know a lot of (great) engineers who either don't believe it when they are told the level of income in BigCo, or think that the comp is that high because people are much better at BigC

seems like doing something like Next.js might be a better choice, aka have a main folder that exposes publicly accessible files, instead of having to add _ to each folders that should be private (it seems to me most folder/files would

My view is only a data point, but what I've observed is that while comp at startups has not evolved much in the last 5 years (seeing roughly same salaries + stock packages), total comp at later stage startups or bigger companies has sk

This is an amazing idea and seems like it is well delivered. Definitely useful, especially for simpler ones like arrows, etc, since it allows us engineers to by pass the designers and let them focus on the hard stuff!

Ok, I know nothing about space, but looking at this video, it makes me realise something. Would have it been possible for thie Oumuamua to directly crash into the sun and just... end our solar system? Just like that?

Sorry, I realise this could have sounded very precious :) In the context of big tech companies in Silicon Valley, free lunch is so common, not having it is worthy of being talked about in such a conversation!
