I've been coding for nearly 30 years and have seen this rant for every major language I've coded in. The reality is there is no perfect tool even in construction as Jeff tries to draw parallels to you will find that many different tools ar

Funny I thought the same thing, I've been in business for almost 30 years now and I can still call people I worked with 25 years ago and they will work with me in an instant. The number of times I have looped back around and ran into the s

Really good article, at first I started reading on the defensive because I am a serial entrepreneur. For 28 years of my life I never had a payroll check from anyone but my own companies. It was amazing and painful at the same time. I tho

In my day we called this Sneaker net.. The bandwidth of a floppy vastly out paced modems back then.. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneakernet Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

Why would you down vote this it is a real and valid observation. I'm not selling legal services or anything I'm just suggesting people use a lawyer when it makes sense. Nobody on hacker news would expect a lawyer to build a NoSQL solution.

One thing to note here is that there are fairly significant differences in law between states. Especially employment and corporations laws (e.g. why lots of companies are Delaware corps) While these might provide a good basis to start conv

Funny I was about to say the same thing about installing on systems. When you're a systems person or work with many different customers you can't ask them to install a custom shell. Try explaining to the CIO at a major bank why all his li

IMHO it shows me they're in it to win it and willing to bend to market forces and support what their customers want. To me that is the biggest message here.

This is great fun to play with.. Some of the most amazing stupid passwords you can imagine are in here. Including things like qazwsx or 1q2w3e4r etc. Lot's of "keyboard patterns" etc. Maybe major sites should use these sorts of lists as b

Developer's need to stop thinking "If I build it they will come". Even the "dream" companies like Dropbox mentioned here had someone on that team who knew how to sell even if they were working as a developer. Selling doesn't always mean kno

It tells me the leadership of those companies don't understand sales performance. :) Sales people have the greatest jobs really! They either perform or they don't.. Its easy to measure and easier to take action.
