I found the spirit of article a bit narrow-minded for all the reasons mentioned here already. It did however make me think of an almost opposite activity for the next time I interview someone: Pick a difficult trick question (like Binary Tr

This is grossly misleading. What I'd love to see is a chart that shows tax-paid-per-dollar-earned. I know it won't tell the whole story, but it'll tell a straight story.

Yes, as in any field I'm sure there are scammers out there, or even just poorly conceived programs. So maybe what we need is a review site for these academies.

The author neglects to mention the wonderful feeling of having your code successfully compile and come to life. For some it is a special kind of high that makes all the 'construction work' worth while. There's also no mention

Prototyping tools seem to be blooming this year (see pencilcase.io and pixate.com), and it'll be great to see them mature over the next few years.

Great little resource for building your first game. That said, the term 'Mechanic' in game design has multiple meanings. My favorite is in context of Dynamics and Aesthetics, as explained here - (pdf) http://www.cs.nort

Right, to my taste it's a better game (though very differently tuned beyond the puck-through-a-gap idea). More than anything I was trying to respond to the parent's question about why the game works at all, especially compared to

By making the collision predictable [edit: interestingly, larger than I would have imagined needed], the gamer knows exactly why he/she failed. There's 'honesty' in the directness that most games lack (and therefore game

I think Flappy Bird is a wonderfully well-tuned game. I've yet to see a clone that implements the finer details which made the original shine. Many games introduce difficulty through complexity. Here's a game that's simple to

This is a great implementation, and super fun in many levels. Thanks for whipping this up. (meta: yes, just a simple comment to say its great. Lets not forget to post these as well once in a while)

I sometimes feel like the ice-cream factory guy in this funny bit by Mitchell and Webb - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-zRPDvTJTo At the same time, I'm happy Mitchell and Webb stayed in comedy rather than attempt to

Finally. Someone at Apple must be a Bukowski fan. I'm reminded of his poem "16 Bit Intel 8088 Chip" (not his greatest, but suitable): http://bukowskiforum.com/threads/16-bit-intel-8088-chip.2791...

Why is it important that the founder is from Goldman Sachs? I'm especially curious because GS is mentioned in the title of the post, which suggests it must be important to the poster and perhaps relevant to HNers.

I've just posted a couple of projects and love the way it looks. As for the live-demo part, I haven't uploaded the apps yet, wondering if you'll be streaming audio, as my apps are sound-centric (Sonic Wire Sculptor, Numby) Great job!

You're judging to quickly. Take a step back and reconsider. The point is in the use-case, not the mechanics. He is allowing people to blog ad-hoc, using twitter as the glue to otherwise loose content containers. By doing this, he is extendi

There's a lot of great advice here already. As a long-time freelancer, I'll try to add my tiny part: I'm always amazed the influence that personal projects have on which kind of work comes through the door. There's a reason why many compani

This struck a chord: "We are the species that fools itself” I think this is at the heart of how we are capable of creating something from nothing ('create wealth' as pg would say). There's also a dark side - I've come to notice that people

I find it interesting that this is what you took out of the story. I'm not suggesting it's wrong. My immediate reaction was: 1) These kids are evil. 2) Are they spoiled rich kids? 3) How do I reduce the odds of my kid behaving like that in

You make a valid point but I think other factors are at play in my case. For starters, the comic you've linked to suggests that I don't come up with many new ideas, but a glance at my HN profile might reveal otherwise. I think it has more t
