from the ask-hn dept.

After reading some articles with Tips and Tricks about salary negotiation, I found out that many of them advice to:- Never reveal the salary you want- Let the recruiter tell first the salary they are willing to pay for the opened positionBut, everytime after a short chat with any recruiter he/she will ask my salary expectations. I assume this might sound simple stupid to some of you, but how do...

Just because Udacity is withdrawing their app, it does not mean that mobile apps are dying, or should die. I have passed several courses on Udacity and other MOOCs, and I cannot imagine following a programming course from a mobile device. I need to try out the things by myself, eg.: type code in an actual IDE, install a server on your machine, use command line tools, etc, things that you can't do from a mobile app.

"ultimately, ten percent of Udacity students downloaded the app". - this makes sense, why to develop and maintain an app that is barely used?

Typically I use Bitbucket during initial phase, when the project is still in active development. Once I'm happy with the code after a while, I move it to GitHub.

But I don't want the BB version to become outdated so I end up maintaining 2 repos. Having private repos directly on GitHub will optimise my worflow. Definitely a good move.
