Unfortunately it's my first job as a programmer (though not by any measure my first job) so I have to settle for less than what others get to get in to the business and make myself more credible and hire-able. I have adapted well though and

I just found it unusual how one person wasn't down-voted, to be perfectly honest. ~ Never mind, they just got downvoted now

I fail to see the credibility in your law suit, you couldn't possibly have patented it without using my method of patenting patents, I would however be willing to settle for $0.50 plus lawyers fees of $500,000. (I had to hire an entire team

That's a shame for you, I just patented the method for patenting patents and it seems you're in violation.

I find it hard to believe someone couldn't even survive on $72,000 per year, even in the most expensive areas of America, surely this affords you a certain level of luxury too? To put my response in to context, I currently earn the equivale

My boss just took me out for a couple of pints and I'm sat in the office as we speak, so at this moment in time I am probably the most qualified person to speak on this. Alcohol does not make you a better programmer, it dulls your mind and

Then I don't know why, but it's always been the same for me, my work internet connects fine, but the wireless internet dongle I use at home is really slow with http://news.ycombinator.com

If you would be amenable to it being realtime and not play-by-mail, I could send you a tweet with the source and demo (which will be running a live version and won't be closed (assuming I don't become homeless and run out of money for hosti

This is actually a real shame, for me the http://news.ycombinator.com website loads really slow, as in, a page load every 30 seconds, but I never had a single issue with the http://hackerne.ws domain. With this update, Hacker News is no

Since I was a little kid I've played on text based "mafia" games, where the idea was like any other game, to be the highest rank, the richest, the one with the most "kills" or in the best "crew", etc. I started learning to code because of t

Well, there's pretty much no response he can give to that then. Unless of course, you work in the marketing department or clean the buildings?

I actually disagree, I think the public medium by which we can see every interaction is what makes this place so good, if you want to be needlessly bitchy, you need to do it in public where everyone else can see it. It keeps us in check and

I don't understand why this was down-voted, the parent commenter clearly states that he is searching for employees and this comment states that he is interested in a job there.

Why don't you do just that, why wish for something when you have it within yourself to do it? :)

I do it because I don't like to leave my mind idle for too long, I find it best to keep the cogs spinning.

I'm in a similar situation to you, I work 40 hour weeks, maintain a demanding relationship with my girlfriend, freelance in my spare time and still fit in a couple of hours a night for my private projects.

To be fair to Apple, at least they made some form of effort this time, though it should really have been done this way first time around.

It's an apprenticeship, I work 40 hours per week at 2.60 per hour, I have rent to pay, council tax, bills, transport, etc. I came in to the job with 2 years freelancing experience, but as I had just moved countries from Spain I took the fir
