Just some thoughts -- This is perfect for people just starting out or looking to gain more knowledge in their respective interest, but it expects the user to put the time and effort into delving into the articles before realizing they may n

How does a formal education make that any different?

I'm confused as to how anyone could think those weren't Photoshopped to begin with, they're pretty awful.

My issue isn't with their passion or desire; that's great. But I'm hiring people based on talent, not age or even enthusiasm, and I question the intent/presumption in citing that attribute alone before even seeing their work. It's the same

Echoing the article and everyone else that this was an issue for me as well. I had an interview at a small-town agency once with the two owners. They talked to me for awhile, and then walked out of the room to speak privately. When they cam

As a whole, I think that's definitely a good-looking group of women.

Content = typography = the potential for a lot of personality if done appropriately.

I think you underestimate people here. They've been hitting refresh and waiting for static images to load for a long time. Vinepeek makes allows you to just sit back and watch, and with the addition of tag searching, I'd imagine that sittin

Just chiming in that I loved the marketing. A little humor goes a long way.

Only highlighting the last two posts, without dates, is a disservice to readers - particularly new visitors - who want to get a better idea of what topics the site covers and how often it does so. Tack on the fact that ALA is one of the onl

I'm kind of at a loss for words. It used to be unique and friendly, and now it is just another Medium, 37signals, altered Bootstrap-looking thing with no personality. Not including dates in the highlighted articles on the homepage (and only

I waffled on this when I created my account, but ultimately I want it associated with me and my name, not just a random name that anyone could claim as their own. That said, I've thought about having an anon account simply because I don't w

Kera's awesome; right now (at least, I got the email about this very recently) they're building presentations for you, for free if you just make a little screencast of what you want. I don't have anything to use it with but it's the most

This is why I recently left Twitter; it's just a breeding ground for smartass one-liners in hopes of retweets rather than intelligent conversation. I don't buy the idea that "this is just the medium" because it's easier to be mean than it i

Svbtle's design is based off of a standard, free Tumblr theme called Clarus. If you really wanted to edit that to have a white background and black text it'd take a few minutes tops, even for someone that wasn't familiar with CSS. I am defi

There are still people that fall under the high-functioning category that have a hard time taking care of themselves and holding down jobs. Just because you check some boxes doesn't mean you check them all, and I'm glad the DSM is removing

Criticism is great and necessary, but piggybacking on someone's code with your friends without resolve is no different than picking on someone in grade school. Rather, this is more akin to talking crap about someone behind their back to the

If you make a criticism of someone's ability to do something, you are making a criticism of their intelligence. If a product gets bad marks across the board, are there no consequences to the team that developed it?

This is how I felt. With Amazon pages, I know I can skip most of the text to get to what matters; the reviews. With a résumé, every bit of information is equally important. Amazon's layout wasn't meant to be read that way (for good reason),

It bothers me the sidebar doesn't follow me as I scroll, so in order to sort/organize your posts once I realize how many there are (which, because of endless scrolling, I don't), I have to go back up to the top.

I'm not going to make that complaint, but as someone that has provided a lot of feedback and posted to the site on a daily basis for the past year and a half or so, the fact that they completely shut off access to our pages with only two ot

I've literally worn noise-canceling earbuds inside of over-ear Beyerdynamics to keep the noise out and ensure that people can see that I am distracted/not listening/not available, but if someone really wants to hang over your cube wall to t

Another reason I prefer HN to Dribbble (although I think the bar is low as far as 'good design' is concerned here, too) is because people seem to care more about the effectiveness and purpose of what is placed in front of them, rather than

No mention of calc with hard definitions as a fallback? Besides Opera, it's fully adopted on desktop browsers (including IE), Firefox for Android and soon on BlackBerry.

Who cares? We need more original, inspiring content than the same "Why I'll never use _________ again!" crap.
