Didi was the best player entering the tournament, but Pele made the only goal against Wales, then a hat trick, then 2 goals on the final (one of then one of the most beautiful World Cup goals). In 1970 he was definitely the best player, by

Brazil won 3 of 4 world cups during Pele time. All Brazilian players played on Brazilian teams. Brazilian league at the time had the best players in the world. Everytime Santos played European teams they crushed them. Pele was playing in th

After the first two World Cups his fame also brought fame to his club, Santos, that had a spectacular team also. They did world tours to showcase their talent. I believe most of his fame around the world came from these tours. Here is a rec

I went through a similar realization. Check my history of Show HN. I also have another HN account with even more failed Show HN. Keep in mind that there is luck involved. It is not the world that’s against you, it’s the chances. Also, the w

My speculation is that shorter books are read more often to the end and are recommended more often and more positively. Recommendations that I get from short books often come with the added argument ”and it’s so quick to read, you will fin

Very weird take. The author talks several times that “there are no baddies”. At one point they literally say about the conversation with the CEO: ”The misunderstanding was all mine.”

I disagree. I am one who looked for worldwide remote during the last 3 years. A LOT of those positions listed only as “remote” on “Who is hiring” were actually “remote (us)”. Posters just assumed that candidates were Americans. I think now

I would say that FAANG is not part of HN Who is hiring at all. It seems to be almost 100% small and medium tech startups.

I don’t know about big tech, but on medium-sized startups, I never saw a PM that does not talk with customers regularly. On small ones too, except that the “PM” is usually one person with a title like “Head of Product”.

I have two accounts. This one, “soneca”, that is my first one and most active by far, and another one that I use sometimes mostly for Show HN and few comments. When I searched the other one, “soneca” was the first guess, with 0.4. But when

I stopped reading/watching the news at all several years ago (more than 5 probably). The seed idea was reading this essay: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatethenews It is not that I agree 100%, but it made clear t

It definitely helped me a lot in my career. It is hard to single out its impact, as good writing also help me demonstrate other non-technical qualities like diligence, trust, problem-solving. But I might take a guess and say that about 30%

Well, he is a judge, he can’t tell the president how to do his job. It doesn’t seem a good excuse to interfere in his judgement either way too.

It was in 2017. I wrote a lot about it at the time: https://rodrigohgpontes.github.io/ It was a different moment, not sure if better or worse for junior developers getting a first job. It was before companies were “desperat

Living in Brazil, I always heard that Sunday is the first day of the week. Accordingly, we do name most of the week days by number, sort of. Monday is ”Segunda-feira”, which a literal translation would be “Second fair”. The “Third fair, Fou

I think it is how it works since always. Book tours on bookstores and book interviews (newspapers, tv, and radio) are a way of promoting book sales on launch for some time. Just added podcasts to the mix.
