Re:Ask HN: Career change advice, should I learn to code

Learn to code. Even if you're not going to be the tech guy at your startup, you'll understand the tech guy much better, you'll be able to hire tech guys more effectively, etc.
Just do Learn Python The Hard Way or anything like that related to your field (C if you're doing hardware).

yawn, another central planner who doesn't grasp basic economics and knows what everybody should be doing. saying that "short term thinking invalidates economics" is like saying that "low gravity invalidates physics" and claiming that we need "a new system of physics on the moon".
it's called a variable for a reason.
what annoys me most is that all of his ideas have been suggested and disproven before, but these kind of people never even do basic research on that, they just assume that their ideas are unique snowflakes that nobody else could ever come up with.

Hi HN,We're using Pivotal Tracker and Zendesk. Now we want a bugtracking system. It should integrate with Pivotal Tracker and Zendesk. The following would be nice:- Submit bugs by email - Browser plugin for making screenshots & submitting them - If possible, send all kinds of data about the user's system when submitting the bug (like OS/browser, etc.)What do you use?
