America is a very big place, and homeownership looks very different depending on the type of home. Maintaining an old, free-standing house with well water in a rural area is a completely different experience from living in a newly built con

HN may not be the best forum to maximize your distance from Sam Altman, if that’s truly a goal.

Watch out folks - critical discussions about Reddit seem to be getting flagged as flame bait. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36347400 Idk why. We should be able to have a civilized, intellectually curious discussi

Not a fan of rage bait as much as the next person, but these are real quotes from Huffman from a major publication, hardly taken out of context. This is a major story. Why suppress it?

Somebody has got to help Steve get a grip. He's doing serious damage to Reddit and his own credibility. I can totally understand his disdain for people who he perceives are trying to ruin "his baby." But he's got to be s

Idk about that. The jump from 0 to 1 may be a whole lot harder than 1 to 45.

Hmmm... I'm surprised I'm not seeing anyone else question the validity of this taking "2 hours" Given that it's written on the blog for the product it's using, this reads to me a lot like a pure sales pitch. Th

I imagine they’re saying that since the team is overall twice as productive, you could say this manager who got them there made each individual 2x productive. And if you add all those together you have > 10x impact. Napkin pseudo math fo

I have the exact same line of reasoning.. and unfortunately I think it’s often near impossible to know how laws may be abused (sometimes it’s completely predictable). I think people have already touched on it potentially pushing certain com

This is neat! I’ll add it to my box of no/low-code tools. I do feel like not letting the homepage itself shuffle its layout is a missed opportunity for showcasing the product.

Hi there! First of all - thank you for all the hard work! My team and I are really impressed with what you've built so far. The company I work for has recently started to adopt RTK and RTKQ. We're working in a legacy React/Re

Well said, and this is especially a great point: > Passionate people are generally good when their skills and wants align with the company, but if they're not well-aligned then the passion just amplifies every conflict. I'm sta

Oh wow, that it sad. Based on the responses, I think I should clarify: People that show that they want to be there often make for excellent teammates, because they actually care (the old missionaries vs mercenaries idea), and will often b

Way to be! It's silly how often employers overlook the "I just really want to be part of/build this" factor. People with that make for excellent teammates.

> This is why billions of people love of products. There aren’t billions of people who love your products, Mark. Use maybe.. but I wouldn’t count on it staying that way at this rate.

Wow, I really appreciate you taking the time to thoughtfully answer these. Thank you! There's no particular mantra I had in mind. Some examples would be to "do things that don't scale" or "fail fast" or to not

Congratulations, I'm a user and big fan of your product! Three questions: 1) What was the hardest part of your journey to IPO? 2) If you could give just one piece of advice to early-stage founders, what would it be? 3) Of all the commo

Kudos to the author for gathering some data and sharing their conclusions. I encourage you all to take a look at the survey responses though. I know Scrum and Agile bashing is fun and all, but we're drawing some pretty big conclusions

I share some of the author's viewpoints and am similarly disheartened by some of the decisions Apple has made over the last several years. That said, there's a trope displayed in this post that's getting especially old to me

I know the feeling. The goal is supposed to be to improve the process, but often too much time is spent going through the motions rather than meaningful discussion. In my experience, the value from retros is a function of the skill of the f

One thing I’ve been wondering about, as someone who’s considering making the switch.. is the role of hiring contractors for things you yourself aren’t a specialist in (ex: for me, design). When I hear “one-person” and read posts like this,

I think you might be onto something. What examples do we have of products that purely use likes or upvotes that benefit the thing shared without benefitting the user?

We're all guilty of overthinking sometimes and under-thinking others. Of course, context is everything.. so perhaps the blanket statement is a useful reminder for the author.. but also maybe dangerous advice for those reading who this

I'm not a TikTok user.. or really a fan or user of any social media (and yes I realize I'm on HN).. but I find it silly that people are saying TikTok is somehow "better" for society or peoples' psyches than any of t

It's seriously an incredible admission. Talk about toxic! It makes me wonder if this is really a person who works for FB at all, or just someone masquerading for the sake of making an already loathed company look even worse.

Yea idk dang.. Clearly it was hyperbolic, but I think satya71 was drawing attention to some legitimate mixed messaging on the part of YC over the years. I certainly had a similar (perhaps cynical/incorrect/unfair) reaction to this

I know very little about the Bay area, so I'm not saying you're wrong. But I don't understand how that evaluation could be accurately made during the pandemic.

I'm not sure about this, but my assumption was that the service provided information on the availability of names.. not squatting. Which to me is different.
