What beverage would you ask them to buy you? I'd ask for a Becks. What does that say about me? I dunno.

the other 4/5 are doing just enough to keep their jobs. duh. what's the point in trying if there's really nothing in it for you? everyone knows that if you want a raise, you need to get another job.

Technically what Guy Kawasaki has is a "web startup"... But it's more like "web page". Yes, the costs for making a web page are pretty small. It's just a bulletin board system with voting. Let's not kid ourselves, if you're a programmer you

reddit got its first users because Paul Graham linked to it. Remember it was a yc company. They were getting something like 3000 users a day in the first days. To me it seems that's the best reason to be a yc company, because you trade some

I think the corporate world is designed to eliminate any desire of employees to work on their own ideas. Work takes up a lot more of your time and energy than you imagine. Even if you only work 40 hours a week. In reality you get up, spend

It's pretty obvious what Paul Grahams goal is. He wants to pay some kids a laughable amount of money to write code for an idea he likes. He then uses his popularity to promote those websites. He basically gets coders for cheap. He's not stu

It depends on your service. If users can see each other, then you probably want to keep email addresses hidden.

I wish part time work was easier to find. I would much rather work 20 hours a week for someone else than 40 hours a week. It'd give me a lot more time to work on my own projects. You can only be so productive anyway. Just because you spend

Unfortunately the tech industry is full of ego maniacs who can't work well with others. It's something about working with computers that makes people think they're smarter than everyone else.

That's actually pretty cool. But it'd be better if they were just audio files you could browse through.

I don't think it's quite that simple. You're probably born with a base level of intelligence that you can improve to a certain level. It's like with chess. As you play, you get better and better until you plateau, and that becomes your rank

Somebody needs to create a replacement for voicemail. They should be downloaded to your phone passively. You should be able to browse your voicemail like text messages, listen to them instantly or delete them. Is something like that even po
