Re:Ask HN: What are some keywords you track everyday? on Saturday July 23, 2022 @11:31PM (#32210071)
This is a fun question, and makes me reflect on how little I play in novel or whimsical ways with search engines anymore. Came to this thread for some inspiration, I hope others will chime in
I have been blogging for 15 years, and it has been worth it. Some years I only write a couple posts. Writing helps me clarify my thoughts, and while I publish just a fraction of what I write for myself the act of sharing it gives me a small thrill. A few times a year, someone will read and reach out and it is a much deeper form of connection than social media comments/likes.
Re:Ask HN: Best dev tool pitches of all time? on Saturday June 18, 2022 @12:37AM (#31787294)
Came here to post this <3

It’s funny, the impact this had internally. It’s like we all believed in what we were doing even more when we felt that magic. I hadn’t watched this again since it happened, still gave me chills.

I’m sharing this today to celebrate the second edition coming out.

Brad Feld, who is one of the co-authors, led our series A and B at Mattermark and I learned how to run my board with his support. This book is a practical guide that demystifies how board are run, and very helpful to any founder.

Thanks Chad!

CTO and cofounder of Firstparty here, just wanted to mention our trial comes with 1,000,000 events free so if anyone wants to kick the tires it should be free for a long time for projects that don’t do a ton of web traffic, and we would love your feedback.

Re:Interpersonal Traits of Aspies Placed in Context (2014) on Saturday November 27, 2021 @09:01AM (#29360198)
Interesting list, though I’m not clear why this author is credible. Did I miss something there (the linked PDF lacks any research citations or bibliography)? Regardless, I hope this topic being high ranking on HN will help some people who might be coming across this info for the first time.

I know HN has a predominately male audience, so it might be useful for readers to know that Autism spectrum behaviors have been shown through research to present pretty differently in women. This list didn’t touch much on romantic and sexual aspects of interpersonal dynamics. Learning about this has helped me understand myself better and support other women on the spectrum more graciously https://www.aane.org/women-asperger-profiles/

It has made me curious about my own mother, and also the developmental journey kids of my friends on the spectrum. I hope this will add to the conversation.

Re:User tracking inspection result for about.gitlab.com on Tuesday April 27, 2021 @10:43AM (#26956560)
Good morning HN. I am the DRI (directly responsible individual) for about.gitlab.com and I have created this issue to audit our trackers, cookies, and other data collection on the marketing website https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/marketing/inbound-marketing/ma...

Our product does not include the tracking that is used on the marketing site.

Re:A New Standard Deal on Friday June 26, 2020 @03:21PM (#23655881)
Rents in San Francisco’s SOMA neighborhood dropped 9% in May https://www.google.com/amp/s/sf.curbed.com/platform/amp/2020...

My guess is that the departures will continue as unemployment rates grown and that when federal and state payments run out we will see a further decline.

I think companies will soon have to justify why they can afford to have an office with remote as the better (and cheaper option). Other than headcount, rent is usually the largest line item for a startup
