GroupTalent ( http://grouptalent.com ) maintains some personal checks on their talent pool. Not sure if they'd be into smaller applications like OP's, though.

By this logic, why just Berkeley then? Sounds like you don't plan to go into SF often. Why not somewhere beautiful like Yosemite? It's probably cheaper, too. :)

I believe your point about Buffett is spot on. He's mentioned 'circle of competence' philosophy a number of times. Although I'm not sure if he meant specific companies, but rather industry trajectories. I also think the

> There's no such free market in software engineering labour. Can you explain this a little bit? Not trying to sound combative, just would like to hear your thoughts!

Hey man - awesome, thanks for the question. we clearly have a self-interest in talking about this publicly, but I don't wanna derail the ongoing conversation!! I'd track you down but maybe that'd be a bit weird! Just drop me a line at teja@

I really hate being so self-aggrandizing, but at gun.io, this is exactly the problem we're trying to solve. Open and extremely easy to use, while not sucking in terms of quality. I think we're doing an OK job, but this is more complex than

In my opinion, if you have cofounders, you should split the equity evenly. If you are uncomfortable splitting ownership evenly because you don't think your cofounders will work hard enough in the future, you probably shouldn't start a compa

I gotta say, I love the way the guy writes. His typos make his writing authentic for me in a strange way. Seems to be one of the many benefits of f/y money!

The same triple constraint nature of the project management triangle exists, I think, with food intake. Quality, cost, and ease/speed of preparation -- pick two. Every two days, I cook up 2 lbs ground beef, boil 4 cups beans, and 4 cups ric

I remember PG interviewing Zuck for Startup School 2012, and Zuck mentioning that while Facebook solved the "How to connect with existing friends" problem, it wasn't really focused on solving the "How to meet new friends" problem. So, nice

> The market is such that I do not have to be available 24/7 for $100/hour, billable in 15-minute increments, no matter how much startup CEOs wish this wasn't the case. Agreed. Think that, in any market, for any talent, this would be a

I don't disagree, but I do find myself having moments of clarity when I look up from work and come check out HN. Often it's just a brief comment just resonates, and clarifies something I'd been chewing on for the past few days/weeks. In tha

Working a lot (>60 hours per week) is necessary, but alone insufficient, to result in 'startup success,' I think. Plus, sitting at a desk typing away for extended periods of time is actually pretty easy -- what's harder is making sure q
