Came here to mention this exact thing -- you don't even have to be an attending, my wife and I have this loan through a different company, and she is still a resident. We had banks fighting over our mortgage. No money down, no PMI, and

The largest issue I've run into with respect to issue tracking is making it accessible and easy to use/understand for the entire team. Non-technical team members don't have GH accounts, they don't know if what they are s

I don't think you understand. There is NOTHING in these houses. Its old, rotten wood, and crumbling brick. The purchase of homes in Detroit is NOT to sell or repurpose ANYTHING. I work downtown, and drive through these neighborhoods ev

Can you offer your general location? Might help those of us with connections that might offer employment opportunities you'd be interested in.

40 comments, not one trace of "Congrats", who cares what Obamas intentions were, for any founder out there you know this is exciting -- HN is becoming difficult to read. Congrats guys, it has to feel great having something like th

As Miami as the Miami Dolphins.. are you suggesting that Miami is drastically different than it's surrounding area.. the city limits of Miami are quite large, and have many different types of neighborhoods. I love that everyone that li

There are plenty of great places to build your startup. I don't think SF is one of them, but I'd live on the street in SF before living in Miami (again).

"However, the reality is that you need engineering more than they need you." Whatever. I like the article, it makes some good points. It's hard to write an article explaining one side of a situation like this without 'ta

I think side projects are very important. It's funny, a lot people have a hard time distinguishing between free time and work, without realizing that for some of the best engineers out there, they are the same. Just because my laptop is ope
