   I'm honestly surprised how simple this code is, now that I started reading it. Julia, you've shown me in one succinct article that the linux kernel isn't a big scary black box of a place, and that maybe I too can hack on it o

   If your startup is actually shutting down, then this period you're in is as good as a notice period. I suspect you might find chatting with the Pay With Tab guys interesting, they were in a similar boat and also wrote that article abou

    Ignore what others say about your interests, put your head down, do a bit of hard work (but mostly play,); get involved in communities (eg, your favourite javascript library's community), get recognised for your work, learn from the masters
