Nah not really. Just make sure to use no vowels and get a .io domain.

Yup as I mentioned in the blog post, the running time is factorial with the number of characters, so unfortunately Lord Voldemort won't work :(

^^^exactly

Also she* :) (doesn't matter, but hopefully it won't be an automatic assumption eventually)

Thanks for feedback everyone! This was obviously pretty rushed since I actually timed myself doing it, so feel free to submit a PR here: https://github.com/smilli/makethisinanhour.

Also update on the most important thing: My friend did end up making his website :)

Oops, fixed thank you!

Hmm I guess I haven't done that in a really long time, but I remember years ago running into issues because local files wouldn't reload immediately when I made changes to them (cached?) and have avoided it since. Don't know if other people have ever run into this?

Re:Ask HN: The rising “Hackathon Hackers” culture on Sunday March 15, 2015 @12:54PM (#9207137)
This is so true. Steadily working on a long-term project is so much more valuable than writing shitty code that you won't look at again for 24 hours every few weekends.
Re:Why Top CS School Doesn’t Mean Top Software Engineer on Monday March 02, 2015 @08:21PM (#9135565)
disclaimer: I don't think there's anything wrong with what Berkeley focuses on. My favorite classes here so far have been discrete math & probability/stochastic processes. What I do think should change is the emphasis employers put on coming from a top cs school. And also I wanted to point out that for students whose goal is to become a software engineer, learning stuff outside of school is extremely valuable since the curriculum doesn't focus on what's important for them to get a job right now.
