Hi all. I'm the (actual) owner of that gem. As already hypothesized in the comments I'm pretty sure this was a simple account hijack. The kickball user likely cracked an old password of mine from before I was using 1password that

Sorry I meant to lump that in under the soft skills section. It was not meant to be an exhaustive list, there would be far more than 5 items :-)

There could have certainly been some of that but it didn't feel like it in the context (which I realize I didn't provide). I read the question as sincere but admit there's a chance it wasn't. At any rate, I tried to answ

Apologies in advance for the length (8 minutes). I've tried to whittle it down but it's a year of anguish for me. :-)

IMO, and as you mentioned, your best bet in those early days is to rely on your network and have that insanely compelling vision with which to sell them on. I think you need a certain level of trust with people for them to be willing to bet

I got burned by this on Heroku recently as well but to a much lesser extent $$$-wise. My app typically runs on 1 dyno because it's basically not supported anymore. At some point I must have been messing around in the interface and acciden

I'm getting the same thing. Tried redownloading/reinstalling and no love. Had to 'killall Cloud' to even get the thing out of my menubar...

I wonder how much of that also has to do with people that simply chose the wrong line of work? Back when I was in school it was coming towards the peak of the dot com bubble and I know there were tons of new students in CS that were there

I guess from that viewpoint it's moderately interesting but as a phone it's really not much to get excited about compared to other modern Android phones like the Droid. Bah... I was expecting something huge!

I really do not understand what all the fuss was about. It's just another HTC Android phone. What does Google really even have to do with it (any more than all the other Android phones)? It seems like HTC could've just held their own pre

The right way is to use my site, http://www.launchly.com . I created launchly for this specific reason as a result of not being able to get good "additional rounds" of feedback here on HackerNews.

Kinda always had a feeling that's what happens but nice to see graphical proof! I feel good now about choosing +/- rating only for launchly.

I just want to point out that saying "You're doing it wrong" (as the article does) does not necessarily imply that you could be doing it right. It doesn't have to be taken as a condemnation of your skills/ability. It simply won't work in

Maybe I'm blind but I really don't see too much arrogance here. He is admitting that pair programming does NOT work for everyone and the reasons he gives are, to me, compelling and true. He's not evangelizing pair programming as a magic b

When I tried it for a week I know I didn't feel burnt out. In fact I felt more alive and less tired than I had in years doing shitty waterfall work at IBM. The reason, for me, was that at the end of a work day I went home feeling like I ha
