Can't report but someone who can should - video is unrelated to thread.

I'm also confused about how this works. If you choose to never raise after YC, is the remaining $375K just part of of the 7% they take upfront, or is it only available if you raise? > Simply put, we’re giving the company money now b

I think it comes down to individual learning style. Here [1] is James Clear tweeting a 3-sentence summary of his book. These ideas totally impacted the way I operate and helped me achieve a lot more than I would have on my own. But I needed

Different people learn differently, maybe? The great truths in life boil down to a few sentences (ex: "just do it"). If someone writes a book about that truth, are they wasting your time? Maybe. But there are other people who need

I think there are at least half a dozen Mint competitors whose primary selling point is "better UX than Mint".

Did you ever have any users? Or did the technical challenges stop you short of shipping the product?

Ha! For what it's worth, as an internet stranger, I would have been just as likely to read if you simply said "I have this theory" and laid out the same thing. Either way, thanks for sharing, and let me know if you publish an

Lack of presence. Any interviewer that's not giving the interview as much of their full attention as possible (emergencies aside, of course). I've been on both sides of this, and I feel bad for interviews I've given where I w

I read this comment a few days ago, and it really stuck with me. I'm so curious where this comes from - would you happen to remember the talk, or where I could read about this concept?

Building gem.fm, a website that recommends the best podcast episodes to listen to (still pretty rough around the edges!) and doing some contract work! Loving the engineering challenges of working on my own project long-term.

> Codeamigo appears distinctly different than Codeacademy in some key areas I imagine that building and releasing _the exact clone_ of the product from a company that rejected you would be petty and legally dubious.

Of course, it's also what not Satoshi Nakamoto would say!

I like that time-based mechanism much better. The karma/engagement-based stuff would just let popular people post more :)

This product seems to combine a few unrelated ideas. No monetization, reverse-chronological feed, no notifications: sweet. Easier to have cleaner, more meaningful conversations with people, hopefully. In short, a nicer, ad-free, less-harmfu

I've had some really great connections through HN. I hope it stays authentic and spam-free.

Hey John! Always nice to see a familiar face on HN - thanks for sharing the story!

I don't know, there were a few years in my early 20s when I just avoided problem solving the best I could.

I don't follow - what is the second paragraph meant to demonstrate?

Love the simple interface and speed. Looked up a few shows, but nothing's being produced during COVID :(

Oh my gosh, this is so much more intriguing than OP's landing page.

It's a little bit more intricate than that. The point is to figure out what the customer needs. The Mom Test (book) covers this pretty well. This page just kind of pokes at things everyone's frustrated about without offering a sol

I loved the headline and was intrigued. However, the page told me nothing about what the product does. I was excited to see a demo, or screenshots or something. Also, this wording near the top is all fluff: "bestseller GRIP with world

Are you still providing $10K grants to the most promising companies at the end of the sprint, as you did during the last sprint?

The API returns at most 2000 messages at a time (this might have changed since I last tried), and last I looked the message IDs were around 130K, meaning that's how messages there have been.

A guy was on talking about his ex-gf Maddie, and then it carried on.

You should look. It's actually been pretty clean so far!

Not sure what your backend is, but websockets are pretty straightforward with socket.io! Happy to help get you up to speed - don't hesitate to reach out (@maxverse on twitter, email in profile) Great job figuring things out as you go,

Looks like it caps off at 2,000, and we're currently at 130K+ messages

I made r/MaddieFans - wanted to see how long it keeps going. Trying to keep it wholesome. It IS pretty incredible that this thread is going after 12+ hours. I think initially a guy talked about his ex-girlfriend Maddie, that he missed
