Re:Ask HN: How the Hell Do I Market to Developers? on Wednesday May 20, 2015 @01:28PM (#9577811)
As other people in this thread mentioned, I would recommend testing different messaging to see what resonates with your target group (devs and devops at startups). I would also recommend testing different online and offline channels to find this specific group.

Here's a post I wrote that lists the developer marketing channels to try: http://murtza.org/driving-the-api-adoption-funnel/

Re:Ask HN: How to check if e-mail belongs to a “work” domain? on Monday May 11, 2015 @10:13PM (#9529186)
If you are doing this verification on the client-side, you can restrict form submissions when a user enters a free email address like Gmail or Yahoo.

Here's a post I wrote with an implementation of this approach (specific to Marketo forms, but can be made generic for any form): http://developers.marketo.com/blog/restrict-free-email-domai...

I would also recommend labeling the email address field on the form, "Work Email."

You are right. It is not a good user experience. I just took off the newsletter sign up.
Re:SpaceX: “Close, but no cigar. This time” on Friday January 16, 2015 @05:49PM (#8902263)
Thanks for the feedback! I'll start adding phrase origins to the site.
Re:SpaceX: “Close, but no cigar. This time” on Friday January 16, 2015 @05:34PM (#8902191)
I am working on a project to define phrases in English like "close, but no cigar".

Here's the page for this phrase: http://jargonism.com/words/437

I would be interested to hear feedback from HN on what would be useful on the word page, in addition to a definition and an example?

Re:Ask HN: Are submissions allowed more than once on Hacker News? on Monday July 14, 2014 @12:42PM (#8031758)
Submissions to HN are allowed based on unique URLs.

Each of the submissions to that wiki article have slightly different link structures. For example, one has a trailing "/" and one does not.

/r/startups and /r/sideproject currently have linkbacks to each other. Are there any other ways you would suggest?

I mod /r/SideProject, which is a subreddit similar to Product Hunt. Do you have any recommendations on how to prevent the subreddit from turning into an echo chamber?
