   If the man don't eat no pork, and therefore no al pastor, this list is suspect, because al pastor is the finest thing ever invented by humans. Still a good and worthy effort, though. <3

   I used 3 for the first time to spit out some boilerplate for me and I was fairly impressed. Maybe the next one can solve complex problems I have to think seriously about, like architecture decisions. But I never started coding to write code

   We had protection against this shit. It was called the Glass-Steagall Act. But rich people weren't getting rich enough, so they were yet again allowed to play with other people's money. That never, ever turns out well, because it

   Yeah, I'm a fourth generation musician and a second generation singer-songwriter. I've always done it guerrilla style with basic Firewire/USB interfaces and mostly free or cheap apps. The only interesting thing about what I d

   Maybe this hits harder if you're sick or in actual danger of dying young (ish), but... man. I'm not going within a million miles of this filter. I would not want to be young now and participate in the bullshit they feel pressured

    I've done enough experiments like this to know two things: 1) There are a lot of modern "conveniences" and practices that are actually pretty superfluous and you can do without most of the time. 2) There are a lot of convenie

    This industry has drawn scum like flies to shit for decades. When I was a kid starting out, it was the beginning of the dot.com boom, and you'd see these endless stupid startup ideas thrown together by MBAs who suddenly thought SF or t

    I've always wanted to do a Neuromancer adaptation that uses modern film and CG tech but is shot with the aesthetic and general tech level of 1984 - everybody smokes, you don't take out the USSR refs, period music, lots of Ridley S

    It's hard to have diversity when you've got three employees left and some South African douchebag shouting at them to write code in between making coffee and fixing the air ducts.

    I'm 44 years old and I've been doing this since before a lot of HN folks were born. A lot a lot of all-nighters and all-dayers and all-weekenders. And you know what? Mostly it wasn't worth the time I could have spent elsewher

    I'm a pretty bright cat, in that I'm world-class good at inductive and deductive reasoning, and better at making intuitive leaps (where I "get it" but I can't explain how I get it). It's served me very well in
