i hate OO programming because of inheritance. It pissed me off to have to look through layers and layers of parents to search for a method. Stick with good ol' functions for easy debugging.

I'm seeing a trend of hackers looking for fellow hackers online to apply for the Ycombinator program. I was wondering how effective a partnership would such an arrangement yield? 2 dudes. Total oblivion to each other's quirks. Joining force

But what if you have already done the site, got 1000+ users, got some press etc. Yeah. Ok. you haven't got incorporated yet, but based on the man hours spent, isn't it unfair to give the late-coming guy 50%?

Sure. It's damn cool that you can create your wonderful product at a cost of only $1000. But should you reveal the truth to the VC? Or should you lie to them that it cost $50,000? The reason is if you tell the truth, the VC might think sinc
