Yeah, I can see that angle. I can imagine most VCs would say the same thing “we don’t micromanage, its your company, but we will try to give you good ideas”

Aren’t these two points in contradiction with each other? Also not a good sign when adverts (this basically is one) hit the front page of HN 1/ Founders may be sick of “hands-on” investors. Part of Tiger’s pitch is that it will be an u

Oh, are you the developer mentioned in the main post? If so, I agree a lot with what you said!

Yeah the CL community likes to be lone warriors, I am definitely very guilty of that. Documentation in CL is pretty bad. Worst is when people say its well documented and its nothing but, all those manuals just listing all the functions are

Nice story. What are you doing now?

Superb Advice, thanks. I often get caught in the trap of having my feet in both buckets

Yeah I wouldn’t have time for anything else. Just fix it, I have to focus on my main work. Can’t imagine any other attitude flies for most people. Now, being able to delicately explain important details to a user who doesn’t care, that’s an

I’ve heard that. How do you find racket for speed and also interactive development? I don’t mind a bit of scheme / racket, so would be curious to jump in.

Does anybody know what they actually do? I see them mentioned all the time but I don’t get it. Is it just flight information or do they do pricing analysis and other stuff

I can’t imagine the choice of language being strongly correlated with programmer skill (it would be elitist to think so, and everybody feels best in the language they spend the most time in). I think C) Lisp is well suited to certain applic
