Maybe my point was taken away because I didn't provide an insightful reply to the original comment? In that case, one of the reasons why I switched to a day job (after spending about the years in-between, during and after college worki

Congratulations! The premise behind the company sounded cool when I first heard about you a few months back, exciting :-).

Thanks for mentioning this one, I hadn't seen it yet, but it's more or less what I had been imagining for my own mini-project...I guess I don't have to build it anymore :-).

Interesting...I just ran a Google Search on that one (Heart-Tree-Star) and it came up with a SlideShare presentation from another Microsoft guy mentioning "Meng Phua" as the originator for him...seems like it was taught to quite a

I just saw the "Solar FREAKIN' Roadways" video posted on digg...this is a really cool idea :-), I'm surprised this thread hasn't received more comments.

Both probably ;-). Most likely just the crack...sometimes they come with additional crap and people (who are none the wiser) click on it and get something bad installed.

I was just thinking about something similar the other day. I wasn't thinking about a Chrome extension, which might be a better solution, but instead a way to ping the site periodically to get the total number of comments and then send

Neat to see Bremerton mentioned here on HN! While I never lived there myself, back when my parents were newlyweds my dad transferred when he was working (for NASSCO I think) up to Washington and my parents lived there for about 5 years and

First off, don't cash out your 401K for all of the reasons already mentioned (in your mind, it shouldn't even exist...that money is for future you). I started right away with putting money into retirement accounts(partly due to th

This is also true with me...everything I've learned over the past few years has only gone to show me all that I don't know. And I'm the type of guy that would be totally honest about my shortcomings but unfortunately it also

Hi SkyMarshal, thanks for the reply! While I'd like to be that person that brings the startup culture down here, I don't know if I'm the right guy for that job. Mainly, my post was probably a poor attempt at simply letting pe

Yeah in your case it definitely sounds like the Hacker School would be the more efficient route. As a recent graduate I think you might have a little more freedom to go directly to a program like that and submerge yourself deep within code

Sorry for the delay, the wife took the little one to go watch a movie in the park and I took my mom to go watch Divergent :-). I would say my primary motivation was simply the cost of the program (at the estimated $7000 they've mention

Well I guess my question to you would be, are you working currently as a software developer? In my case, I'm working full-time and none of the Hacker Schools are close by and I wouldn't have the opportunity to take any of them on

Wow, sounds a bit like what I did when I left eBay after only about 2 months. The primary difference? I did so to go back to my previous employer in a new position. In your case, you're still young so your responsibilities are less rig
