You mention remote work, but the listing on your site explicitly says the candidate must be willing to relocate.

You mention that you're hiring remote, but the positions on your website list a specific location, and the front-end Dev gig isn't listed at all. is this an HN-specific posting?

An introductory tutorial about web development. The plan is to assume the reader has no prior knowledge, start at the basics, and hopefully walk all the way up through building a dynamic web application. It's only just started, http:&

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll be sure to check them out.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll make sure to review for improper simplifications.

I recently decided to write from some tutorials[1] (maybe eventually a book) that assumes zero knowledge and works its way up. I'd like to eventually go all the way up through SQL, basic httpd administation, etc. It's a long row t

It's redditgifts.com. Doesn't look like they're hiring for DevOps at the moment, but they are looking for devs (among other things): http://redditgifts.com/jobs/

Did we really just make an "In Soviet Russia" joke? That was appropriate? Man, I love this place.

If this comment shows up hereafter on every "developers need passion" and hiring thread, I'll up vote it. every. single. time. Alternately, a blog post expanding on the thesis, if we could draft you to write it...

At one point I had an idea for a product that makes it easy for users to do what you're talking about here. Started doubting I could make money off it when LinkedIn gets most of the way there for free (for most people anyway). Every on

Seems like an argument in favor of a bootstrapped companies which intentionally keep costs low and intend to go for slow growth instead of a spectacular flameout. Because infrastructure costs have come down so much, it now feels like compan

Your muses drop inspiration just as your head hits the pillow, but they don't manufacture an irresistible drive to create. In an emotional inspired burst, you leap into your project, only to peter out as the novelty wears off. "Fa

From Joel Spolksky's "Camels and Rubber Duckies" (which is a great read in its own right): >The joke of it is, big companies protect themselves so well against the risk of buying something expensive that they actually driv

So, it's probably not realistic to assume this particular app will help. The chance that it will make an actual difference is probably pretty low. Is that reason enough to dismiss the idea? Or to dismiss "apps" entirely a

I'm definitely willing to be labeled naive. Would suggesting a call to a suicide hotline be as insulting? What if the app carries out similar functions as a hotline? Please, I'm not trying to troll, just trying to understand why t

I find your reaction... odd? He's won a grant to develop a tool that has the potential to help out people with a real problem. Why should that disgust anyone?

It's not a direct answer to your question, but a while back I ran across http://www.introtopython.org/ which in a beginners introduction to programming using Python as the first language. It has a github project[1] ful

That works too. Actually, I should probably re-word the advice along the lines of "know programming, and know something else really well too." Puts you at some pretty lucrative intersections.

Related: It occurs to me more and more that programming is a VERY valuable secondary skill. If you find your interests drawn to another domain, it will likely be useful to gain expertise in that domain. Once armed with knowledge of how pe

I don't think you're going to get the numbers you're after, and hopefully you can live with having given an honest effort if you fail. The truth is, having this kind of attitude, and doing the work that comes along with it, i

And people like me who don't drink can still happily grab a soda, hang with folks who are, and get all the social benefits.

Perhaps that reinforces the point even more?

Again, thanks for this. I've intended to get involved but never got around to figuring out how. Having this run across my screen motivated me to get a nick registered, and say hello in the channel.

Having no qualifications whatsoever about such things, I'd fund them. To me, this application (including video) make Lollipuff's success seem inevitable. Everything is stated just so matter-of-factly, but without bravado. They&#x2

I suspect that there's a lot of cross pollination of talent between ancestry and the church's familysearch.org there.

For the record, I (the commenter you're referring to) do flag a lot of what's on the front page. In the vein of introspective disclosure, I recently found myself flagging an article PG submitted and other that tptacek did, so it
