Operating low-level resources makes it more complicated and because of that, - big amount of programming mistakes made there are critical.

Some time ago I participated in some Startup Accelerator.
Was part of Startup with really fast growing user base, but small amount of sales. What some investors really suggested to do with our database - is to sell it!
So companies can sell personal data (and they do it) not only when put up for sale, but at any time.

Very true.
It's possible to write ugly code in any programming language, just so easy.

Yeah, what I feel like it could be with Haskell: get a glass of good wine and solve interesting programming problem during evening.
And write some beautiful code.

This posting convinced me to learn Haskell.
But it requires to be more than just a programmer.
Why I love Python, - because of scientific-friendly community.
Haskell is more than that: more algos, data structures, functional programming, math, - completely next level.

For me it's not the best approach with server/html.
By design too many points of failure for desktop app, too many wrappers. The gist is clear: it works, it's easier and faster to do, but ...

For me "Be a hacker" is kind of innovative & startupish spirit, the way of life and doing things different, open-mindness, never ending learning.
Re:Guess Who Doesn’t Fit in at Work

How about remote teams?
At previous startup we had guys from: Germany, Russia, US, Romania, Brasil, Ukraine, Philippines.
Our "cultural fit" was just about: Be a Hacker (innovative, open-minded).

Re:Ask HN: How do you get good domain names?
on Tuesday June 23, 2015 @08:08AM (#9764080)
My behavior:
1.) Use http://www.namemesh.com/ , https://www.eurodns.com/ and brain.
2.) Try to find .com domain first, use different words/synonyms combinations. Choose 3-5 best, write them down.
3.) Go with those new "cool" domain zones, use creativity, choose 3-5 best, write them down. Even if you go with .com - you still can get something similar to your main domain symbols like HN.pics for cookie-less static content domain.
4.) Write down all the results (~10 is enough), sort by "best".
5.) Don't buy fast! Leave it alone for a couple of days, let the idea get stronger. Tomorrow your yesterday "cool ideas" can look foolish.
6. If after a couple of days the idea is still looks good, - buy it!
Usually finding really good domain name is not about 3-5 hours, it takes a couple of days of brainstorming. Since your brain CPU is always working in background, solving problems unconsciously, - sometimes best ideas can suddenly come in strange places or during night ;)

Yeah, the best developers I've ever seen are about simplifying things, avoid overcomplication for too much "flexibility".
The zen of Python https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/ say:
Simple is better than complex.
