No, I don't agree, as I am not in the wrong here. I know you are the admin. You should see all my messages. Also you must investigate, if a single hostile user downvoted me from mutiple accounts earlier. I made one mistake of calling h

Now, now. Don't get preaching to me, on what I should be writing on. This was a very impact full dream to me. And I wrote it then (more than an year back), with no intention that time of putting on HN one day. And why do you have such

Thanks! Respect you for using your routine account and giving a reason. I personally rarely use down-votes, and would just ignore a comment, if I sense that its written in an earnest way, even though bad in quality. I agree its not very hig

Can somebody please explain. Why is the parent comment short story inappropriate, as a top level comment on this page? Also it seems to trigger a reaction. I have seen it go upto +6 points and now it is at 0. Means people either like it or

Downvote! Care to explain, why? Its a near true account of my dream, and I thought it could be therapeutic for some people to read who visit this HN page, as people are discussing Mother's day. I won't care about downvotes on ano

It was late in the afternoon and we were late. I was thinking to myself ‘Oh God, let today not be the day’. I started to walk faster as I thought this. My wife was accompanying me to the place where my mother was staying. We passed down the

I have noticed some good postings on that hasgeek link I gave in the above comment. Also I think, HN itself draws a lot of India based programmers. At college level you also have things like topcoder.com and hackerrank.com

If I look at some of the people I know and my own experience, can say that consulting folks get a better deal, when working for Western companies. Also it works out better, from a work from home perspective. As local companies, even if pay

Excellent piece. I have been working from home roughly for the past 4 years. Have worked on my own product alongside working on client projects. I am not very disciplined by nature. If I am able to put in 4-5 hours of concentrated code in a

Man, I burn with envy when read such stories of monumental technical achievements. For some reason have always been fascinated by scalability. But so far life has given me the opportunity in a very limited way. Have been reasonably proud of

Sorry for the delay in replying. No I did not, actually. See I was coming back after a while, I had quickly shifted to C++ (after coding briefly in C) in my career, so did not remember using any libraries. I am sure, my task would have been

This is a great post. And also from the other side of the fence. As typically we see, these kind of posts, from people who did not like Math puzzles, and as a result suffered in the interview rounds. But this one talks about getting inadver

I am with you mate, on this one. Only if one develops a sense of revulsion, when reading poor little Meem's story, can one contribute to bring about change. Others like your parent mean well. But that kind of thinking leads to quiet ap
