I applaud these guys. It's more about the money per se - it's about having a share of company profits. This, I find, is what a lot of companies get wrong. We go by the same old mentality that an "employee" should simply be compensated with

Living in NYC with children and we have a very comfortable lifestyle. We live in Astoria, Queens, which is just a short (25mins) subway ride to where I work in midtown. I don't believe anyone in their right mind, in our profession, will be

I wonder why it took them so long to release this. Given how picky they are with who they hire, and the sheer number of engineers they got, why did it take them over a year to come up with such an essential product - a Facebook app for the

Some people are morning people, others aren't, despite best intentions. You could reschedule the meetings and see if he can make it at a different time. If he still doesn't, it will mean he's either not committed to the business, or not dis

I have written web applications in Ruby on Rails, PHP and recently Clojure. While I absolutely love Clojure and what it offers, building web apps with it has proven painful, because the library ecosystem just isn't there yet. There is indee

The author makes a very good point, yet I fail to see practical advices about how to tackle the "business" side of things. In the Milo.com example, it seems they succeeded because they were able to establish relationships with the big retai

I agree with you. And the effectiveness of the criteria Google uses to screen & interview candidates is highly debatable, at best. One of their recruiters once contacted me (because I went to a 'top university') but decided it would be

Very good, for people on the go. If there was a way to also include the HackerNews users' comments on it, it would be even better.

Would be interesting if you could post the tech details about how you implemented it. I've been experimenting with websockets in Clojure, Ruby and Node and so far I have found that in practice it's harder to do than the simple tutorials wou

While I agree there is some sort of 'mass psychology' at work here, I believe there are some additional (and more important factors). There is certainly a lot of irrationality in people who accept these things and who have no direct/executi

I wonder why he didn't say he "forgot the password". Although it may seem implausible, how could they prove it's not true?
