I suppose HN isn't a bad place to start. Can you tell us anything about your product?

These are all very good reasons for why they should stick with PHP, and for anyone else who has already invested a lot into PHP. I think minimizing your server-side technology to "glue code" is a mistake, and there still needs to be a goo

"Oh, look! An opinion that goes against the mainstream on the news.yc frontpage." "Oh, got baited into another anti-PHP rant." I know that PHP has tons of suckage but it's a point that's been made ad nauseum. No need to point out that Hitle

If you were to itemize the merits and pitfalls of each technology and how well each plays with the others, the list would get long quickly. The question can't be answered without knowing the problem and the people.

If you can reasonably predict when the list will expire, removing the "more" link from the DOM (replacing it with a notification to go back to the first page) would remove some of the inconvenience. There are probably a few better ways to d

Tenderloin/Mission/Sunset are places you might be able to find something for a grand. Tenderloin - stabby stabby. Mission - on the dirtier side, a little sketchy in parts, but trendy and experiencing lots of gentrification. Sunset - lots

I've never met a bad-ass developer that described himself as a bad-ass developer. The decisions you make over the next 5 years will heavily influence the rest of your life. Treat college as a safety net and a networking opportunity. Aside f

I would love to see some features in PS that focused on web design mocking. Mocking complex lists/other common web app components are generally far more painful to do in PS than they are to style in the browser (though you still want to see

Having used Maemo/N900 for several months, I've never experienced a problem with click lag. It's easily as responsive if not more than iPhones and Android-based phones I've used. It's difficult to assert that an interface in its entirety is

I'd only suggest that your introductory text does a better job of explaining what the app actually does. I saw the website before I saw your description -- it obviously solves a problem, but I wasn't sure what the problem was until I read y

The plan was to allow users to create public/private wikis, very much like Reddit's subreddit system. The creator would set access permissions, so it could work as a personal library, or a collection for a blog/BBS/open source project. Any
