I have wondered this for some time. Why is making a common runtime for Electron so difficult?

Several of our applicants can be traced back to the Who's Hiring threads and I'm pretty sure at least one of our new hires in the last few months came from someone who found us via one of those threads. Not 100% sure; I'd hav

Another factor is growing awareness of the Who's Hiring thread. Anecdote: My company isn't hiring any more or less people than they used to be, but we never considered the Hacker News Who's Hiring thread as a recruiting venue

It really amazes me that you're doubling down on this absurd analogy. In addition to drinking you've thrown in tobacco and meth(!) as though they somehow compare to the rather vague and amorphous "dopamine addiction" cau

Firstly, impromptu is bad. Work requires focus, not "oh look a squirrel!" People learn delayed gratification in life. The same goes for the urgency of someone in your org randomly deciding everyone needs to talk about my random th

Only in terrible office cultures. If everything is urgent, then nothing is urgent. Good office cultures clearly delineate between what needs a person's urgent attention and what can wait for 20 minutes while someone wraps up something

"Drink responsibly" isn't a great analogy. Drinking adds no tangible utility to anything significant. People do it because it's fun, not because it improves the quality of their work. Group chat adds tangible value to wo

They claim Slack is distracting while the picture at the top of the article is a bunch of people working in cramped quarters in an open office. I think they have bigger fish to fry here. Slack has a mute button. All that requires is self co

I don't think the issue is piracy per se. People want the ability to compile down the JS into native code for obfuscation reasons to prevent/discourage derivative works. I know you can do that to some extent by minifying your JS c

I've wondered this as well. One of the greatest inequities of today's startup experience is the fact that the vast majority of startup founders are already affluent and are basically immune to risk. UBI would allow people to do en
