New-office photos are obviously great showcases of design but they feel like those magazines (Dwell, etc.) where they take photos of homes with no laundry or dishes. Showing stuff that's been lived in has its own separate appeal.

Overall, everyone we met yesterday was friendly, polite, and did all the right things. ... this entire blog post was about how people were doing the wrong things.

I'm not sure how many posts it's going to take to tell you I did hold on, and that's why I didn't go broke and had the money to investment into my own biz. I think at this point you're just trolling me now, so I'll end it with one more poin

If I didn't lose my job things would have been different - I possibly would have bought more. But remove that cashflow and the options start to dwindle.

Yes, the entire point of my original post is that I am a terrible stock market/retirement investor and a much better small business person. You must have missed the part where I didn't sell at the bottom, started a profitable company, liq

Oh come on, give me a little credit - here, I'll rewrite the facts of my original post, which you might find adheres to your expected response format (while presenting the same, and no new information information versus the original): I put

> Your time horizon is too short That's not really the point, I think the point is that I shouldn't have been investing in something that could evaporate on paper in 3 months. Either way, yes, the point is I'm a terrible equities/retire

What I'm about to say might be controversial. It goes against the grain of the 'Look at me I'm so frugal' meme/arms race here on HN. The financial crash of 08/09 left such a bad taste in my mouth (as in I lost many tens of thousands of dol

Universities simply don't prepare kids for the needs of the industry. I've been working in industry for over 10 years and the only time I've ever had to write a fibonacci sequence generator was during a code challenge (that lead to an int

I give them a warning. "Do x, y, z or else you're going to be fired." It's effective because - as it just happens to turn out - nobody ever wants to be fired.

It may be the case that there are indie SAP implementors who charge $50/hr. LOL.

The examples I use to illustrate situations like these are urinal cake companies, or toilet paper manufacturers. These people are rich. Rich beyond your wildest dot com dreams. Are these people (who own the above mentioned firms) any less

It takes a bit of experience (and some balls) to know which people to tell off - but! Never underestimate the incredible morale boost a properly crafted "fuck you" can bring to an overworked team in the heat of battle. When followed by a

I was also a mediocre student because I was usually out with friends or in front of a computer... although I did somehow end up going to UCSD - you must be talking about the solana beach amtrak station in the article right? :) I took the S

Even if you don't ultimately become a programmer, just knowing enough to know how hard or easy something is will give you a large biz dev advantage. Lots and lots of tech execs (especially in silicon valley) are either former programmers o

There is little space for a lot of choice in the tools market Apparently not, as anyone in the enterprise software world can tell you. There's plenty of room for lots of shitty choices, almost all of which generate millions of dollars of

Usually in the bay area I hear this as "selling shovels to the miners". Here in LA a distinction is less often made because the tech scene is much less focused on hot web properties and there is a very large number of media companies that

Hmm, is that a small bit of condescension I detect in your response? Our goal is also to create a large independent company, not build a $500k/year online TODO list company or whatever it is you have in mind (our revenues surpassed that in

This may sound controversial, but I wish people who make these self-serving recruiting posts would provide examples other than extremely large, established, or well-funded companies. How about the small 3-person outfit developing a produce

Level 3 doesn't charge us either - what's really funny is some of the second-string ISP's actually pay you to take IP space from them.

For a lot of server hosting customers, prices for additional IPs have already increased steadily over the last few months That's just retail markup. If you peer with tier 1 transit providers you can still get IPv4 space for practically n
