Among the points already mentioned, I really hate the 'shake to report issue' feature. Stuck in traffic and frustrated, that thing comes up every time I hit a pothole. The thought that comes to mind everytime is "No Google, I

I believe you are misinformed. Google wipes your slate clean, and you can try again in 6-12 months.

Nice! I was living in the plateau not too long ago also. But recently moved a little further out to southwest area. Rent is ridiculously cheap here compared to Toronto. I've seen rent go as low as $350 all inclusive for a private apart

And yet, so many coders don't know linear algebra.

'..but don't actually help you do it day-to-day' Most of the time, but by understanding those core concepts, you're mind looks at programming and solving problems in a different way. Similar to math, you may never use a

Exactly. Whole post on point. Anyone's who been programming only 6months or less, you don't know $Hit about programming yet.

I see these stories quite a bit and they're kind of annoying. ex. 'How I switched my career, and tripled my salary, and became a software engineer, all in 8 weeks'. Please. Many of my colleagues, and myself to an extent, have

Great job! One of the best I've played with in a while. Apple needs to pay attention, iOS natively should have something like this.

HN has been a blessing for me. It has taught me so much about startups/consulting and everything related. And the comments section is tremendously valuable. As an avid forum reader (self-proclaimed) I have the experience of knowing how

My mobile dev experience consists of thus far 95% time allotted to iOS and 5% allotted to Android. Thus, I'm in no position to accurately compare the two. I feel the same holds true for the author, and most of the commenters. Yet every

That would be ideal, but I don't have enough points to create a poll yet.

In my humble opinion, when you challenge a core app that everyone is so accustomed to, you have to make yours significantly more value-able for it to gain traction. It almost had to jump out at you, and make you feel stupid for ever using a

I'm curious, do any HN ios developers worry about the future of being an iOS dev? The conventional wisdom with programming is that no programming language is safe, and it's wise to branch out and keep learning. I'm pretty dee

As much as someone's willing to pay. Personally, it does not surprise that FB is willing to pay 3B. FB is struggling with the younger crowd as of late, it's a great strategic move in my opinion.

Based on my experience, and now putting myself in your position, I would just finish the engineering/business/math degree, and then pursue a career in software when you graduate. I did my degree in mechanical engineer (mechatronic

Agreed, that's very annoying. I'm still subscribed to a few emails I don't want, only because they make it so difficult to unsubscribe.

Have a look at the comments, Skeet professed to knowing the solution beforehand. Still impressive nonetheless.

Why not? I think the previous posters assertion was legitimate. It actually got me thinking.

As a newish freelance/contractor, what stood out to me is that's a shit tonne of money made there. I wonder if there's contracts close to that floating around still.
