   I am a big supporter of Code Combat. I am teaching a few kids to code in person (including my own kids). I discovered it through an HN post a few months back. My first session of 4th graders used Code Combat on the first day, and they love

   Perhaps you've got this backwards? People who are attracted to transparency go to companies like Buffer. It's perfectly legitimate for people not to want to share their salaries on a public website.

   Author went to Princeton.[1] Another Princeton grad "found him" through the alumni directory. Sounds like networking to me. Then, in the fall of 2006, a guy named Austin Merritt looked me up in the Princeton University alumni

   The biggest problem for apps right now is discovery and this is a smart way to get discovered.

    OT to OP, I hadn't seen your site before. It is really cool! I'm teaching kids to code games and I really like using browser based tools as it makes it easier for kids to practice at home and I don't have to worry about spec

    Over the past few years, I've come to rely on this pattern with ASP.NET MVC. Would love to hear how others keep asp.net mvc projects organized.

    It's too easy for people to call too many meetings. There is no real cost. Perhaps if it were deducted from your pay or something ... ;) I find commuting and all it's associated challenges exhausting (traffic, public transit, pa

    Ask them to commit to training you into a web dev role. If they won't commit, it might not be a good place for you.

    When MongoHQ got compromised, I received emails for several SaaS providers (such as intercom.io) that I've used basically telling me that my data may have been compromised. Here's a clip from that email: "We made a massive e

    Summary of this - it's too hard to build secure, reliable and performant SaaS applications in a multi-tenant cloud. Developers need to create a better infrastructure stack to support single tenant applications.

    Is this a JSON oriented workflow engine? My experience with workflow engines (as a developer) has been ... not great. They are hard to debug, and difficult to code once the logic gets complicated.

    I don't really think of razors as high priced. I have a 4-blade razor from Gillette and I can shave for several weeks on one blade before it dulls out. As an american audience member, my takeaway was around "knowing your customer

    My hand is cramping just watching this video. I think the sped-up version of this video masks how much time this takes to get this thing up and running, and how error prone it is. Also, if you have terribly messy, atrophied handwriting skil

    I don't think you could get people to switch. But if you build a familiar UI, that publishes to github, I'd use it.
