Yes, it's true - we have a community built around our product, and oftentimes communities want to help/support each other. So I let our users know that we were on HN since it's an opportunity for them to make the platform stronger by adding many more awesome engineers to get matched to.

Believe me, you don't need to read his book to simply participate in commerce. Without a doubt, this book was one of the most moving memoirs I've ever read. Very highly recommended. The bonus is that he's an incredible writer.
Re:Why engineers hate your shitty job specs on Wednesday August 13, 2014 @01:54PM (#8174128)
I'd actually like to see some examples of over-describing problems to engineers in a salesy way. That could be a fun follow on post.
Re:NoSQL in SQL on Friday June 13, 2014 @10:56AM (#7889127)
Hi Andrew, I'm the founder of Hakka Labs. We had permission from the SFRails meetup orgs to record/post the talk, but I honestly apologize if this was unknown to you. We don't consider this 'our' content in any way, and we're happy to make it freely available for the benefit of engineers everywhere.

to keep out recruiters
The format of this vid is interesting to me. We've played different media formats for our engineering talks at g33ktalk (audio, video, slides and sometimes screencaps/demos) and it's been somewhat challenging to find the best format. Of course, ultimately it depends heavily on an individual user's prefs. meaning there's no perfect answer.

I find this format compelling since it's relatively short (19 mins) has high quality audio, and the only visuals are the main points represented as motion graphics.
