Been through an acquisition on the other end. My main piece of advice is to talk to the employees of the larger company to suss out whether they like the company culture, whether you can or want to work with them and the processes your comp

You're spot on with the particular niche of struggles that immigrant kids have there - seen it in a very real way with my mother and her parents. Thank you for mentioning it out loud, the first step to fixing things fairly for everyone

I got introduced to a gacha game for the first time about 2 years ago, compared with classic mid 2000's Gamecube games. Gacha is a type of Japanese gambling game that is found on mobile phones, and can be tied to various media propert

I don't want to say specific location data for privacy reasons (not very helpful for this discussion, I know, and my apologies), but you can say I spent there for a time recently. It's not New York but there's an exodus of a

Definitely would count myself as a not-tech-industry person (graphic design manager instead with a passing interest in linux) who pulls up HN every morning. :) Far more interesting topics on here at it's worst than most news sites at t

Very much agreed ... was raised in a mixed Southern and Spanish household and think this topic is saying a lot more about certain people and casual apathy towards their own fellow people than they probably would like. The line that I was to

Yeesh, this looks like an accessibility issue on steroids. First time i've seen that kind of captcha, would give up in the first two. I do fear we're headed in a direction where there'll be two false "choices" prese

Not the person you're replying to, but as a manager: a manager who dislikes employees reaching out for 1:1's with other coworkers for any reason is a bad one, imo. I encourage my folks to be proactive in learning from other teams

Aw thank you! Means a lot to hear that. :) Who knows, it may happen - have a few visual novel game ideas in mind for the far future.

Unfortunately with the various moral panics going on, folks who lean towards the middle / nuanced balanced thoughts are more afraid and reluctant to put their thoughts out there. It just isn't worth the brain-width or having poten

Interesting you ask that; it's only been on itch.io up until now because I was printing incredibly small zine runs (like sub 20-30) off the office printer; but recently have been working with a printer for the next few and have a surpl

I don't talk about my zines ( https://kradeelav.itch.io ) and artwork to people IRL -- it occupies a very liminal space in my mind and soul where I can mention things a bit too raw or depraved for office spaces. ;) While I do

Congrats on launching! Compliments first - you described your elevator pitch of the company incredibly well in the starter post here on HN, to the point I'd use that as a template on your site and any kind of social media materials. F

re: 90's / 200's design style in websites ... check out neocities. there's a recent surge in people creating personal sites with exactly that aesthetic / nostalgia in mind.

There's no word in the english language for how tragic this is. As a sister comment mentioned, the cruelty is the point. It's a long shot, but is there any material way of helping these artists be able to take their art with them

The only interaction my art page gets is a little javascript hit counter like the old web used to have - just knowing there's a certain number of people in the thousands* that have seen it at all brightens the mood. Glad you're ma

Honestly, 4chan would be a vast improvement over the sound of this. At least it's funny occasionally.

My father has a background that's eerily similar to yours, right down to running a firm the same size, and he feels the same way you and yours does (so do I). It truly is a lost art and there's a lot more hidden knowledge and rewa

A bit amusing to see the article and think "they really could have summed it up as "show, don't tell", aka the old sage writer's advice. :) Some very good points made in the article, glad I read. I admit the persona

Putting aside micro-design trends that come and go per decade given this has been happening for longer than just for one or two, my bet's on: a) corporations skewing towards multi-use capabilities (your camera is not just your camera,

C-suite folks and "idea gurus" don't use the same success metrics as engineers (and to a lesser extent, designers) do. Sheer charisma, being able to pitch some hair-brained idea over drinks, political machination, and notorie
