For me it's often some new tech as main trigger for new ideas and projects. I see new stuff and I just want to use this tech and look what could be done with it. Not the best way because tech-driven ideas often bring up solutions which don'

I am slightly annoyed from the fanboyism glorifying YC between the lines. The post is full of good advice + quotes from PG and I highly appreciate YC's contributions to the startup ecosystem but people shouldn't think that being part of YC

What I like about coding is that you learn every day and starting a new language is always inspiring and broadens you views. I just don't get those who like to approach everything with just one language. Rubymotion won't hide the Objective-

It's always over time and then called vested or vesting. Usually it's 4 years, if you negotiated well 3 years. Often you get a 1 year cliff too which means you get nothing if you leave in the first 12 months. And finally you get in general

Isn't that what Node.js is all about? Modularity? To get away from the monolithic, bloated, one-fits-all frameworks like Rails? And maybe there's something between "Rails" and "HTTP" (Sinatra => Express JS => modularity). Building a
