During my interviews, I notice a profound difference in performance when I drank 2 gallons of water a day before the interview. I got out of those interviews thinking, How did I even come up with that solution? I pocketed a few offers and d

X used to own a bookstore. It was good enough to put him in middle class. Then the culture changed, it was easier for people to read reviews online and buy, than to shop in book stores. His shop has to close down, now he drives for Uber and

Good news for op. I know a homeless developer who is not so lucky (yet?). Emmanuel (we call him Mani) is a 50 (or 60?) year old homeless man who would smile and shake our hands every day when we showed up at our local library to hold coding

Rally anyone? I have a hard time getting used to it, and I've seen stories being worked on for the sake of being in rally even though there isn't enough information for good work to be done. I've seen engineers do good work t

I'm not convinced that teaching kids how to code is a good idea, perhaps someone in hn could shed some light on how learning to code at a young age is a good thing. For me, important values to instill in a kid that will be conductive t

I sympathize with the author. My nonprofit is working with our local library to provide coding bootcamp for anyone who wants to learn (for free). We've been piloting for 3 months in San Jose and the whole experience has been very eyeop

Oops I reread my statement and I think I miscommunicated. I meant I'm trying to figure out how I might build Twilio (the product). OP's article shows how to send/receive texts (check). I don't know how Twilio buys number

I would have them train 2 people (each) in their field to be as good (if not better) than they are. At the end of 100 days, I'll have 200 people trained by Jeff Bezo's top people. These 200 people will be tasked with building a le
