Wait, your free time is supposed to increase as you get older? I must be doing something really wrong.

John Romero started writing the design for Daikatana in February 1997 and it shipped in April 2000. I don't think that's much of a record.

Excuse the shameless plug, but if you're interested in metrics and analytics, maybe you'd be interested in joining the AWS CloudWatch team? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2284954

Never heard of Trunk Club, but I love the execution. The interesting thing I'm taking away as a point of comparison is how superior an identity like "Trunk Club" is versus a simple "I found a clever domain that was available" type identity

It also blows hiring. I was eating lunch with the CTO on my interview loop, and he was pitching me hard on the company. He treated the waitress (who gave us perfect service) so poorly that I instantly knew I would never want to work for thi

Because I haven't been involved in game development professionally since 2002. Even though my knowledge is now 9 years out of date, I know that this article is low quality.

Hrmm. For some reason whenever graphics/game programming related articles get posted on HN, the quality seems to be ridiculously low. For example, no discussion of discrete vs. continuous, temporal coherence, sweep and prune, separating axi

This is not a one-size-fits-all issue. Depending on the team, you might be able to write code that's 90-99% correct with little test coverage. Depending on the problem space, code that's 90-99% correct might be good enough. In others, it mi

Considering that the person who responded to Kohsuke is Jason van Zyl, creater of Maven, and not an Oracle employee as far as I know, I have to question the title of this story.

Whaa?? "Concurrency is hard... Actors... ZeroMQ... End scene!" This is far from enlightening.

First started programming on PETs in 2nd grade. Finally got my own Apple //c in 4th grade. Worked through the AppleSoft BASIC tutorial, then kind of hit a lull until I started BBSing in 10th grade - then did a lot of ACOS/MACOS code, dabble

This grammatical criminal could go "sans" a few apostrophes -- "thanks to it's fun, child-like appearance."

That's a decent use case, and one that I'm surprised I forgot, given that I've written that same line of code so many times. :)

I really have a hard time believing that coming from a C/C++/embedded background you couldn't whip up something reasonably workable (linked list) in 15 minutes on a whiteboard. It's usually the people that have gone on to become "architectu

Fair enough. But as someone who's conducted hundreds of developer interviews, I can say it's absolutely a huge red flag for me. Total failure would be a straight no-hire. I see it as something that should be very easily re-derivable. You

First, she thought implementing a linked list during an interview was hard. Then, she says that web programming is hard. And I'm not saying it's "easy", but talk about blogging yourself into a professional grave?

Speaking only as an EC2 user, I have not seen any evidence that there's any kind of "king of the hill" bidding going on w/ spot instances. You get machines if your "bid" exceeds the current spot price AND there is available capacity. What c

Hi, I work with Matt at Gripe :) Video is in development, but the system is pretty straightforward. We're integrated with Zencoder. Our clients (e.g. mobile/web) request an upload endpoint from our server (GAE). The endpoint is a pre-signed
