   I'm from Seattle (not living there at the moment), and I have heard more than one person describe it as "San Francisco Lite". There is a large tech community there, a fair amount of VC firms, and the cost of living is a bit cheaper. I wou

   No snark intended, but I feel like you are basically describing reddit, with its subreddits and customizable front page. If you unsubscribe from main, funny, pics, politics, askreddit, and add programming, computer science, mathematics, et

   Whoops, email bounced (update your profile), so I'll just post here for anyone else that gives a shit: I've spent the last 2 years doing contract work for a few different startups while I've traveled, first in southern Brazil and now here i

    I've been doing contract work from abroad for the last 2 years (first Brazil and now SE Asia), but right now I'm rotting in a hotel room in Chiang Mai going out of my mind with boredom. I sent you an email at the address listed in your pro

    If you want my unsolicited, half-assed feedback, here it is: 1. The way you worded the submission title makes it sound like a parody. I think "LetsLunch, a [business description], is hiring" would be less off-putting. As it is, I think y
