Re:Walking Away from the Product I Spent a Year Building

I've never heard of this product before, but it definitely does sound interesting. I know exactly how hard it is to get a small / medium sized company to switch to a new product, its definitely not easy.
That aside, I wish Slack was more customizable (or open to allowing some customization) that would enable it to function more like what Derrick was trying to accomplish with Level. That would be the best of both worlds.

Expo is excellent for developing in RN. The best thing is being able to send the app to other users without needing to install anything outside of the expo app. I just started digging into flutter last week so I don’t have a an opinion yet.
Re:New York inmate's golf drawings lead to exoneration in murder

This type of statement is highly infuriating. This has no bearing on the fact that the original prosecution withheld evidence and he was not the shooter in this case.
Re:Meet the busser who’s worked at the same pancake house for 54 years

You ask me not to assume, but yet you made a huge assumption in that he loved his job, presumptuous much?
Re:Meet the busser who’s worked at the same pancake house for 54 years
on Tuesday September 04, 2018 @10:44AM (#17909368)
You likely did not read the article... there is nothing in it that would imply he loved his job. He stayed at his job because of complacency and security. Not because he loved bussing tables.

Curious why they are changing CEOs if they want to continue the culture and community.
Re:Ask HN: What are the expectations of a CTO at a small startup?
on Tuesday March 13, 2018 @08:22PM (#16581163)
Agree with everything here. I’ve never been a CTO but have been the only other dev working alongside a CTO and you will wind up doing many non-technical as needed for the business. Laying a good groundwork for future employees and making a best effort in every task is the best thing to do.

Re:Why we transitioned from Medium back to our own blog
on Wednesday January 24, 2018 @12:18PM (#16224362)
Using GH issues for a blog doesn't seem like it could really work for most people. While you can get comments and discussions which is cool, GH isn't a great way to read long form content IMO. Plus if you want any time of analytics how can you find views/reads/etc. On side note you're current tutorial looks very neat, I've never used LUA so I'm going to try and follow along.

They discuss is briefly but my understanding is the copyright only protects the work itself. IE the movie steamboat willie could now be freely published by anyone with access to it? But Disney will still own the trademark and be the only entity that can produce new original Mickey Mouse content?

I have been wat hung football since i was kid but like you the past couple of years it has become harder to justify watching these big hits and traumatic injuries knowing the damage it is doing to players when they get older.

This would be a game changer and potentially life saving for hundreds of athletes in all contact sports but mostly American football. I they can find the funding they need to further their research.

Re:Backblaze lost over 13TB of my data
on Friday June 23, 2017 @07:29PM (#14623514)
if you have 17TB of data. Where is the best place to back up that much data? Other then redundant back up drives... Is there a suitable cloud solution for this? If not is there enough demand to build one?
I dont own that much data. I cant imagine having to keep track of that much data, I hate having more than 1 TB of data to keep track of.
Re:Ask HN: Stay or Leave? SoundCloud has deferred salary reviews
on Saturday June 17, 2017 @12:22PM (#14576493)
Yes. I would strongly recommending using something like hired. It's dead simple takes maybe 20 mins to sign up. Then once they approve you, you'll get a few inquiries from companies and if you're not interested you lose nothing and if something interesting comes along then you've got your out it should take a few weeks and you should know whether or not you want to stay with SC by then.

Re:Ask HN: Taking a junior SWE job at around 7 years?
on Thursday April 20, 2017 @08:58AM (#14156217)
We are the same age and have about the same length of experience.
I totally get where you are coming from because I began to feel I wasn't learning anything new and just repeating the same processes. So I left after 3 1/2 years.
Since then every job I've had I try to work for people I can learn from and grow.
Having people who can mentor or just being around smart people and seeing how they work and implement processes can be really helpful.
