My son (about 8) just managed to walk a half mile across streets and traffic lights to the grocery store to buy lemons -- for lemonade. Beyond the fact that he managed to overpay for the lemons, he came back safe, proud and happy. Sign me u

You're totally right. In fact, we have a project underway to try to make it suck less. Having said that, if you're anywhere nearby, drop me a line and just come in for lunch. It'll be more compelling than any jobs page we could put up.

Pfft. "root on your box" is so last week. Here at TripAdvisor, we give engineers root on EVERY box. I'd add "modulo the live site", but when I needed that, it was made available. I think of this as the computer equivalent of the HP story

Astoundingly successful ad system? I have found the ctr painfully low.

Sweet fancy Moses, please no videos. Transcribe to text. My bandwidth reading is an order of magnitude greater reading than watching. I've almost given up on video on the web for interviews.

I refer to this as my "back brain processing". I've had conversations where I tell people that I'll do the work that they want me to, but it will only be a fore-brain effort because I've got a much more interesting problem percolating. And

You're assuming that Facebook's ranking algorithm is incredibly naive and is only counting the raw number of likes. What if you add in whether you're friends with anyone who liked it. Or at least a few degrees away. Facebook already finds

I find all of the "have kids" chatter strange, given that I've always felt that YC was one of the least "family friendly" programs I've ever seen. How many YC'ers were parents while in the program?

The interesting part to me is that Atul Gawade is one of the few doctors who is willing to say "I don't know." What worries me are those that attempt to fake it instead.

This is a little too close to JWZ's great truth: So I said, narrow the focus. Your "use case" should be, there's a 22 year old college student living in the dorms. How will this software get him laid? from: http://www.jwz.org/doc/groupwa
