I don't have hard numbers, but as a frequent traveler, exchange fees are honestly pretty annoying, so much to the point that I manually exchange money with wealthy friends in destination countries, horde cash like Japanese Yen in a box

The best, leanest compromise would be not necessarily needing [yourname].com. For instance, get[yourname].com, try[yourname].com, [yourname]app.com, and so forth. Or other tlds. Otherwise the time spent trying to think of a unique, non-take

I'd personally love to see a frontend-heavy codebase that is using relatively new tooling (for example, ES2015 with Babel, React on a significant scale, etc.) if anyone would like to share :).

I initially didn't expect Who Wants To Be Hired to be useful. It seemed like a big spammy list, but I put up a quick summary of myself and got contacted by more than a handful of good companies (many of which I'd heard of before,

I don't mean for this to be a snide remark, but I'd like to let you know that, unfortunately, Aaron won't be able to respond to you.

I don't think Lyft has failed by any means, it's a 4 billion dollar company and growing. Also, it seems they're quite quick to innovate. IIRC, they were first to come up with the carpool system that Uber then rapidly appropri

Thanks for the writeup! I have a book coming out shortly as well. What are your plans for keeping up book revenue moving forward?

Yeah, GP post is unnecessarily negative. I think this is a great idea and knew there was always a space for it. Twitch has really changed the entertainment scene (millions of people individually consuming hours of streamed content a day). M

I fell through at that stage as well, which I think was surprising only because their value prop is connecting you to YC startups. I'm a former early employee at a YC startup having contributed to nearly half of its codebase and other

If you're nit-picky about your CSS (as I am) and just want to write it the way you want to write it without a framework making guiding decisions for you, I recommend the lightweight library Bourbon by thoughtbot (and the companion libr

OP likely means functional design as opposed to aesthetic. For example, I don't particularly like Bootstrap's unsemantic class naming schema. Although admittedly, most CSS frameworks are just as guilty; Bootstrap just happens to b

This is my favorite as well. Sure you'll be joining to write code from scratch, but day-to-day, you'll most likely be reviewing other people's code, hunting down bugs in other people's code, and so forth. I'm a huge

While true, it's not adults getting into pro-gaming, it's usually teenagers. Kids who would rather play Starcraft than study, and, despite being very good, lack the foresight of knowing what kind of hole they're digging thems

Sometimes you pay a price to be able to do the things you love. However, the plight isn't necessarily with Lee Young Ho (aka "FlaSh"), who was winning $50,000 tournaments multiple times a year while on a 200-300k per year sal

Hi OP, I'm the same. I work out and keep myself in good shape, but tend to let my brain wander to thoughts like what if my heart just stops. I can't engineer a solution for myself, but I will be fully conscious of the fact that my

Blacklisting is an okay option, but as you said, it's tough to do so just going by your memory. In fact there are actually thousands of free, public domains, which you will likely want to blacklist. Here's a good list (2013): htt

I removed bootstrap at work (in favor of Bourbon and Neat). For context, I disagree with Bootstrap's framework design decisions, our app had a 3000-line CSS override file, and we wanted to make our two-year-old web app responsive, so w

This isn't what you want to hear, but there are perfectly valid reasons for them to do that. 1. Getting the answer right is only half the problem here. They are prodding you for your thought process—take that as a sign that that's

You can afford any apartment in the city, but spending a ton on rent isn't the requirement everyone makes it out to be. I live in a new building 2 blocks from the Caltrain and pay $1200 a month. Just be diligent about it (as others hav

I'm not too familiar with the field, but I'd also assess whether or not the data you're acquiring needs to be encrypted/handled in a certain way due to HIPAA-related compliance. That's potentially the most relevant
