It was wrong to subvert security protocols, but this employee was genius if he could spend 1/5 of salary to outsource his job with no one noticing any change in the level of the code being delivered.
There are literally hundreds of companies that should hire this individual to manage an entire team of outsourced developers.

Cool technology, but not what I really want to see as an audience member.
The 3D, transitions, and movement make me too cognizant of technology involved in the presentation, which serves to detract from the presentation content.
Twitter Bootstrap recently Replaced Placehold.it with Holder.js, a client-side and retina-ready placeholder image tool.
@MrDrone - I hear you. And it took me a while to frame the discussion (@PG's email was sent to me on Oct. 16 & post was created Dec. 5).
I wanted to share the experience, because it would be helpful to others and also uplifting that we can make personal connections on the web. However, I was not proud that I was once banned and I didn't want this post to generate backlash from the community at large.
Ultimately, I decided it was a story worth sharing.
Is the Google+ integration as evident as the web client?
I really don't want the distraction of G+ inside my mobile clients.
@JackMorgan - what's the best way to contact you?
Want a future in campaign management?
Cut your chops with an e-commerce company. While there learn big data, how to test, and read into behavioral economics, and you're set.

I'm sure you're glad you over-prepared for the interview process instead of the other way around.
BTW, this is most promising company I've heard of originating from Startup Weekend event, including Zaarly ($1.3M raised), specifically because they have great technology and business model.
Perhaps my reaction was too broad and quick. The technology is amazingly and perhaps there could be interesting applications of it that I failed to consider.
Thanks! I'm really enjoying the process of learning to program (Ruby) and documenting it.
I'd like to share my articles with the HN crowd, but not sure how they'd respond to noob developer concepts.
Most of my paid SaaS plans are closer to the $9-$19 dollar per month range.
Examples: Freshbooks, HootSuite, MailChimp, KISSmetrics, Dropbox
Why do you Late Labs to facilitate developers working on "ideas"?
Developers have too much opportunity to work on the "next great thing" in exchange for equity.
Looks like a smart, efficient way to monitor responsive design.
Agreed. This technology looks amazing and sweeps you away.
But, when I think about the implementation, I cringe. I don't want video with more info popping-up.
TV is not better because there is a running feed of "breaking news" or a running stock ticker. In the same regard, I don't more info popping up during video.
What's the advantage of using this grid system, instead of a framework that contains this functionality and more (such as Twitter Bootstrap or Skeleton)?
Thanks to these metrics, I've cracked the HN code:
We should always publish our content on paulgraham.com
That's the takeaway of these metrics, right?
"Correlation does not imply causation"
Yes, need problems in order to have innovative problems. With this theory, third world nations with the worst infrastructure would be booming with innovation.
There is so much more required than problems. America drives innovation because of many factors, including standard of living, capitalistic markets, freedom of choice, and access to educational opportunities.
