Got a new job through one of the hiring threads. Got a compensation boost from previous job so HN has been thousands of dollars profitable for me.

Highly recommended. Gives a "behind-the-scenes" feel. I like JWZ's comment about how he won the "startup lottery."

I've had a good experience with Ubuntu on one of Dell's Vostro laptops. Vostros are part of Dell's small business offerings, but you don't have to actually run a business to buy or use them.

It would be more useful if it was easy to compare places. For example, do I save money crossing the state line to buy something? Some states also charge sales tax on specific things that other states disregard (e.g., clothing).

The biggest benefit is more clear understanding of changes in development teams over significant periods of time. For example, when was this function changed? That's very hard to answer when the diffs are not semantic. The Eclipse IDE pro

First, I go through a light language overview: fundamental concepts and syntax. This gives me a feel language, whether or not I want to pursue it (I keep revisiting and abandoning Clojure), and what I can learn from it and apply to other

While college is primarily an opportunity to prepare for a profession, it is a great opportunity to build a social life as well that would carry beyond just college years. Colleges offer beginner's wellness courses for various hobbies or sp

I did my BS academic time in 3 years and partly agree with this statement here. On one hand, doing the absolute minimum delivers minimal or no debt; saves time; and gets you into the full-time, non-intern/co-op workplace faster (a larger p

The associates degree might be an issue in the long run towards advancing your career unless you do something phenomenal that makes up for it. As others have said, get the BS at least. However, get the degree on a part-time basis slowly w

An alternative or supplement to books would be to do static code reviews with someone. They can give feedback that a book can't. For example, ask the reviewer what would make the reviewed code easier to understand. Also, you could look up

What are these walls that you hit? Is the problem too hard to solve with your amount of experience or something else? Perhaps you should explore why the walls happen. On finding something to build, it can be tough. You have to keep think

I was in your position. I was doing very well in college academically and yet I felt I didn't know enough. People with lower grades than me simply knew a lot more and built significant things. And I didn't realize the issue until relativ

1. Have fun. There's a lot of people of differing backgrounds with plenty of creativity in the air. 2. Take pictures. 3. Talk to as many people as possible and get as much contact info as possible. Networking. 4. Bring business cards

As there are stories listed with content on the front page, a list of recommended stories, and a list of popular stories, the horizontal scrolling list of stories is unnecessary (how is it populated vs. the other lists)? Looks like paragrap
