Ask HN: What employee referral programs have worked for you?

Hi,I'm in the process of doubling our engineering team from about 30. I'm wondering what are some good employee referral programs that you've seen work? Our naive approach is to offer an incentive for every hire but wondering if there are some more creative solutions out thereAny thoughts appreciated.

Ask HN: Why is data simpler than syntax?

Hi, I recently watched this talk (https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy) by Rich Hickey and I think he makes a convincing case for differentiating easy and simple. One thing that I struggled with during the talk was with the lack of examples.One in particular is data being simpler than syntax. Are there any resources online that explain this idea in more depth?

I really agree with this. It's way easier to get into a rythym and just keep following a never ending checklist.

I've recently started meditation again and I'm realizing how hard something simple like remembering to pay attention to your breath is

I can relate to what is being discussed in this article. For the last 2 years I've been focusing solely on my startup at the expense of my relationships with family and friends. So far, it's been working alright because we're still quite young and I don't feel like I'm missing out on any significant things in their lives. But now I'm at the point where I don't need to sink 16 hours 7 days a week and I'm really struggling with reevaluating my identity which has been so closely tied with just building shit constantly
