I can't support the arbitrary deadlines trick enough. I've set a deadline for the end of November for the project I'm working on. Consequently, I've been getting up an hour earlier every day to work on it, and then working an hour after w

It's extremely important to draw a distinction between cool and practical. HN is all about the cool new hotness. People here are always on the bleeding edge of technology, so they tend to flock towards those instead. Also, hiring PHP deve

I went to one of the public schools where this data was gathered from. My experience with grade inflation is that it's mostly about money. If a class is deemed hard, students don't want to take it. If students don't take the class, the d

Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms ( http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Design-Analysis-Algorithm... ) is a good refresher.

I'm using PHP because it's quick, and I know it. After things (hopefully) get going, I hope to migrate over to Python + Django.

I like the idea, but I think it could be more polished. For instance, once into a story, you have to keep hunting and clicking the "next page" link. Maybe an image would be better there. Also, being able to navigate pages using the arrow

I think you unintentionally (or maybe intentionally) make a good point here. Regardless of language, re-writing your entire code base is almost always a bad idea. If you have 100,000 lines of PHP, it's probably going to stay that way. If
