I'd like to throw in another vote for prioritizing regressions and specifically adding logistic regressions to the mix. Thanks!

I'm not clear on the mission of 140 Stitches. Are you just going to be blogging? Is the goal to offer consulting services? Will you be selling merchandise on the site?

The optional upgrade survey appears to be broken. After I submit the survey, I get redirected back to the login page with my username in the query string. After I click "login", I get the alert telling me I can take a survey to upgrade.

That's not quite right. Most of the time, the people inundating you with emails are not the ones doing the screening. In other words, just because demand for programmers is very high, most companies haven't lowered their standards but hav

I wonder how many of the applicants had well-written cover letters and resumes (good sentence structure, interesting content, devoid of massive typos and grammatical errors). I would bet that it's no more than 20%, and all of a sudden, thi

I wonder if EyeQuant used their own product on the EyeQuant site. Perhaps the layout is intentionally busy, but there's so much going on that I feel a bit overwhelmed.

This site also looks like it was made by a couple of men. Specifically, the current layout/content, with the exception of the inventory itself, looks like it could be recycled for any number of online stores. There's nothing on the site t

Are product reviews on the roadmap somewhere? I'm in your target demographic (I think), in that I'm female and regularly buy stuff on Etsy and Gilt/MyHabit. However, I think there's a huge barrier to buying from you right now. Namely, the

The problem is that most of the projects that people list are not worth a damn, so at this point, my strategy is to ignore unless you specifically draw attention to a project and prove that it's something that required some amount of init

One thing I look for in resumes is a subjective sense of whether the candidate is smart/passionate. While these things are very hard to glean from a static and short document, I find, like a few of the other commenters, that a regurgitatio

It depends on your industry. I work on hiring engineers at a startup, so I can only speak to the kinds of things I look for in an eng resume, and my comments probably don't apply to more creative fields like design (where layout is much mor

If you intend to spend time working in the U.S., spending some time improving your written (and perhaps oral) communication skills is probably going to serve you better than iterative improvements to your programming abilities.

the HN title is a bit misleading. i clicked on this link expecting to read about google's hiring practices and how they judge talent in candidates.

I am an engineer-turned-recruiter and currently head up tech recruiting at TrialPay in Palo Alto. There is definitely a dearth of recruiters out there who understand this industry, and if you're able to filter candidates, that is a huge ass

Very interesting read full of good data and some interesting takeaways (especially about LinkedIn). One thing I wonder about is given how boilerplate and sparse the honeypot's blog was, how little information there was to go on, and how uni
