Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are/were bullies. So, average workers need bullies to perform well--not the "good environment".

Any comments on its success?
Down voting?? I think, it's for poor comments--not for disagreements.

Yes, you're a bad programmer as you do it for earning.

Good programmer code if for satisfaction, contributes to open source, /., HN....

Re:Ask PG: Why did I just get a "stop spamming us" message? on Thursday June 16, 2011 @11:59AM (#2661800)
Probably another bug... I couldn't submit anything new, always bugging "you're submitting too fast".

BTW, wanted to ask if you have supported any non-YC projects? (planning to build better AirBnB)

Can't agree everything. Every patient is different, some wants to be discussed about their health and some wants a break from his preoccupied mind about health.

Re:Why Spammers Spam on Friday June 03, 2011 @10:56AM (#2616560)
Spamming works and so AirBnB is here

They forget that there are tools to create quick getters and setters
Yep, he once spammed it lot. Another one about Groupon http://rajeshanbiah.blogspot.com/2011/03/groupons-pr-possibl...
