The lawyers are fronting the fees if Twitter won't which indicates they feel it's a pretty solid case IMHO.

Interesting, never heard of that, good story. While I think you're technically right, this isn't quite what I had in mind. :-) This was not really a coding error or lack of quality as more just a mistake from what I gathered from

Yeah, I would put that under poor management since they decided a rewrite was necessary when it probably wasn't

Yeah, but did they fail to build the right things...or did they just write bad code that didn't work? I would assume the former, but you're right, it's hard to quantify. My CEO said something the other day at an all-hands, s

Ask HN: Have any notable companies failed because of poor code?

This is really cool, I'm going to try it out.

This, I've been using it daily for small tasks instead of google and it's faster and better. "Write a mongo query in node that gets x,y,z and then returns only the q,w,e fields sorts by y" is one I just wrote. Since I do

This might be another post once I'm done but in total I was in contact with 51 companies. Most contacted me, and a bunch I reached out to. I'm tracking everything in Notion but I think about 10-15% didn't get back to me, most

Base is higher than I was making at Twitter, but instead of RSU/ESPP it's now options which can go either way, so it's a gamble. For me, I prefer startups, but the golden handcuffs are hard to takeoff once you've had the

I went out of my way to not do leetcode so I only had one because Glassdoor was wrong. I would ask the recruiter during the initial call where I also talked about salary so as yo not waste everyone's time. I cancelled a few interviews

Laid off from Twitter three weeks ago, lots of interest and cool companies out there. I binged interviews and have three offers to consider. Senior eng with 20 years experience

Heh, I'm sure you're one of guys that always comments how you don't understand how company X has so many employees, and that you could just write the entire app in a weekend. lol. Note, I didn't say I spend two weeks wri

I do think some companies are starting to see this. I interviewed with two young (<25) people yesterday and she said they're /too young/ and all the "experienced" people have left so they're now slow and hav

I'm not seeing this right now. I'm almost 42, just laid off, should have three offers this week after only three weeks of looking. I have lots of white hair...I think it's all in the presentation and expectations.

Heh, I was a lifer until some billionaire bought the company and laid me off even though I've been a top performer for years. You never know what life will throw at you, best to prepare for the worst just in case Space Karen comes for

Yeah, honestly there are similar things and other things that do this better if your goal is to just run a blog. This was a simple project I figured I could finish in two weeks and refresh some skills along the way while using some new libr

Cool. That's not really the purpose of this though, but github pages works for a bunch of people. SPA and SSR are not anything like this, or github pages for that matter...

I think this crowd is probably too young for that reference.. :-) Good catch though

I'm using it in the sense of not named or identified Not, if someone really really wanted to track down who wrote a page they couldn't.

These are static html pages hosted on s3 behind cloutfront so I'm not sure of a better solution to handle high traffic spikes

Anonymous is this context means I don't want my name attached to the page, not that someone couldn't easily get a subpoena to get it.

I'm not excepting much traffic. It's 100% hosted on aws so no maintenance and is basically free to run indefinitely.

It's weird this is an issue. I don't think I ever edited a page when I posted on a blog and I maintain a couple WordPress blogs for businesses and associations and they never update posts after they've published either. I don

Easy and I've never really used it before so I can add that to my skillset. This was a project I wanted to finished in two weeks so I didn't put a ton of time into it.

It is anonymous but you're trusting the provider. The payment isn't tied to a page. No logs are kept. It's open source, but, in theory I could be running a version that does log or keep records but I have to reason to.

It's a project I did in 9 days, it's not perfect or done. ;) Practical safety? It's a single page not a bank account. It's odd you would jump to that conclusion without know the dictionary. You don't think 5^1000 is

Anonymity. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was only markdown which isn't ideal especially for no technical people.

Try telling my mom to do that or my friend who is a landscaper. Not everyone is technical. GitHub pages are also tied to your account.

There is no promotion or even an index page to list out what pages exist. The pages can be indexed by search engines if they're submitted. An idea for the future would be to allow people to opt in/out of notifying search indexes o

Yeah, that was the reason I added the fee. Hoping, maybe naively that that will keep the baddies away.
