Yes. Yes very please. Every time I have to reinstall or get a new computer, I spend a week or two saving & backing up the old and setting up the new - installing dozens of programs and tweaking tweaking. Anything that helps me out the

Very nice. It looks surprisingly close to the blog system I had stewing in my brain. But hey... now I can just hack at your's. Only thing you're missing is comments, but perhaps that's what HN is for... Now I just have to learn Ruby.

You're going to need more than 29 words. What is your idea? Why will people like it? Why would a hacker want to work on it? Is it viable? Is it viable with the economy in the toilet? Where are you? Do you want your tech founders to move to

Wow... Mountain View, CA is 9k more expensive per year than where I'm living. Heck, it's 8k more than New York. Remind me why shoestring-budget startups are supposed to flock there?

"You’re uniquely good at them and you not quite sure why." I don't know of anything like that... I know some stuff I'm pretty decent at, but there's thousands that are better than I am at each of them. So how can I "scale at what

I don't know why people still do this... you'd think it'd be obvious while they were making the language's main page. "Oh, this is a new language, maybe I should show people what it looks like." In my opinion, the very first thing on any

Well then, I must be in the utmost echelon of hacker demigods, as RescueTime tells me I spend the majority of my days reading programming stuff on the interwebs instead of working. (In my defense, I do still manage to finish stuff on time..

Yeah, I don't hate all ads. Occasionally I see one I like and try to buy stuff from the company that's advertising as a "thank god you're sane!"... It's just the other 95% of the ads that make diving for the remote and hitting mute a subcon

No offense take. I'm not an entrepreneur. ;) But if I ever do come up with an awesome idea, I'm determined I'll create it and make money off of it without putting up adverts. I hate adverts with a burning passion and I'm not about to forc
