This is a simple but a fantastic idea.
I think before anyone signs up, you really need to publish some example holidays. i need to be able to compare against what is currently on the market as to what i am getting. How would your offer compare to: http://www.holidaypirates.com/holidaypackages/3-nights-in-mo... say?
Re:Ask HN: Why are you stuck in a dead end job? on Friday December 12, 2014 @08:28AM (#8739842)
Because the first development team I joined worked with a dying language, and then I moved to different teams using a language that was losing ground to things like Rails, Python, .Net (read anything really). I haven't kept myself up to date, instead blaming my tools (my 7 year old laptop with no battery) or the fact I have a partner/life and thus too busy to do (home)work in my spare time.

But i'm in a comfortable position too. I have a team who respects me and my input, I have good friends at work who i would hang out with any day of the week, I have decent holiday, increasing pay, great benefits... but I won't make my company a $million company, nor will I change the position of this company in many significant ways. Tech is not their focus, so suggesting we use Neo4J goes on deaf ears.

and so i'm still writing a language that should be dead... that few other companies would take a chance on me because of this... and still i walk the earth

errr why are they not allowed?

Ask HN: What tools do you allow journalists to use?

If you're a developer at an online media firm (be that engadget or the New York Times), what tools are you allowing the journalists or content managers use to get their pieces online.Where I currently am, we're starting to use ckeditor for the main bodies of text but i'm wondering if anyone has extended something like Windows Live Writer to work with their own backends or other offline word...
