Re:Ask HN: What code editor do you use?

I use netbeans because it is on parity of sucking as bad as zend studio but it is free. I really like the "intellisense" as i went from C# asp.net stuff to php
i really want to give jetbrains my money but they haven't put out anything for me...yet :)

don't quit on something until you've seen it through, and if you do decide to quit on it, try to get some value out of it if you know someone that can take some of your old stuff to 100% completion and still own some of it, whatever that is.
This applies to a product, not so much a WoW account.
Re:Ask HN: Non-programming part time jobs?

I would suggest that you try serving at any sort of restaurant, preferably a nicer one, although you might have to hone your skills at an olive garden or something like that.
Pros:
1.) Work with attractive women/men 2.) Cash in your pocket 3.) Forced exercise/weight loss 4.) Hours can compliment an office job's
Cons:
1.) Dealing with people and their food 2.) Can be stressful
Re:Ask HN: What's your biggest gripe with craigslist and/or ebay?
on Sunday April 18, 2010 @11:51PM (#1276020)
ebay: auctions suck, bidding on stuff isn't my idea of fun. There is too much of negative press surrounding fraud etc, so you have to go out of your way to portray yourself as not being a criminal.
craigslist: people are cheap, it is handled face to face, if you are selling something large, usually random strangers come into your house.
So that really has nothing to do with coding, but those are my gripes with each.

i think concrete5 is all right. It uses a mysql back-end but might be overkill. I know the click to edit stuff works pretty well.
I have noticed that benchmarks are slower as they don't really have a full page cache mechanism, but overall it does a pretty nice job for that niche.
