Completely agree! The antenna band on the back of the phone looks so hideous to me; that really is the deal killer for me.

Exactly, that is why "most" of founders failed multiple times before they become successful.
Re:Why I Stopped Selling My Time for a Living on Saturday October 26, 2013 @09:12PM (#6620285)
This is seriously a first world country's software engineers problem. Anyone of my friends who is not currently employed as software engineer would do anything for that schedule and $100k/yearly salaries. I think sometime people just take too much things for granted; we are just happened to love what we do and get paid/spoiled a lot by this industry. Imagine this industry is not needed; I am sure you would be begging to have this flexible office hours.

From my point of view, work is the place I get PAID to learn something news from other. Someday, I stayed until 8pm or work on weekend. Does that mean I was forced to or get paid overtime? No, I stayed because I have the urge to learn and solve the problem. Now, if you think about work from that perspective then it wouldn't be so bad now, would it?

FWIW, I am not criticizing anyone but just simply giving my point of view and how fortunate I felt to be pampered from this industry. And just maybe, my view is different from others because I just graduated from college and always eager to learn.

Love what you do and do what you love!

"According to one specialist, the Web site contains about 500 million lines of software code."

And you guys believe that so call "specialist" without any proof?...What happened to HN? :/

Nice framework but my eyes bleed when I see html and css in my js.
Re:Show HN: Ditch Black Text to Read Faster, Easier on Friday September 06, 2013 @02:47AM (#6339045)
maybe it's just me but I feel like I have a stutter thought when I read using that. It's just doesnt feel right; I think books/articles reading will be less enjoyable if I'd have to use it.
Re:What I've Learned After 13 Years of Web Engineering on Saturday August 31, 2013 @10:23PM (#6308848)
"For example, when I see the wait staff at a restaurant running around to serve dinner, I feel these people as working much harder than any internet engineer you’ll ever see"

True but being a waiter doesn't not required much skills or staying up all night to fix a product blocker issue.

The design looks so familiar, and it has been bugging me the whole day. Finally, I found it! The new Mac Pro designs reminded me of this DLINK Wireless Router

Unless you've heavily modified your rooted android then yes. Otherwise, at least for me, iOS7 is so much more elegance and eye pleasing.

I am the 2% and I still love it
And without consideration of inflation.
Because they thought web development is just hacking together html and css; and you dont need any logic but just sitting down and hacking it away! To be honest, I used to have that mindset until I got a front end developer job. It is a nightmare to get pixel perfect style on every single browsers and devices. Not to mention, when we do a simple google search we can see so much websites and people offering to do "web developing" for such a low cost.
Can I park at one of those visitor parking and tour around GooglePlex? Do they have any problem with random tourist on their campus?
PHP or Ruby probably

Re:PayPal terminated my account because I use a VPN on Monday April 08, 2013 @08:48PM (#5515758)
Paypal is crap! It's a wakeup call for you to move on to another payment service. They froze my account 4 months ago with over $1k in it. Reason? Because I had a donation button on my site, and my site wasn't a registered non-profit organization. Well no shit, it's a hobby/fan site and I need a way to pay for my servers and such. Not to mention, I did pay taxes on those so call "donation". Sorry for the rant but just move on; you can't win against their stellar dispute department.
