8maki··on Jungle – Simple CLI for AWS operations

good job!

8maki··on Tell HN: I want to solve your problems

Studying English. There is no effective and low-cost way to study speaking English while living in Japan.

8maki··on Ask HN:why do people prefer github(paid) over gitorious(free)?

Github would be a networking service for developers through the software code. Gitorious seems not to have such community, I guess. A lot of open source projects on github attracts those people.

8maki··on Ask HN: Are there any startups hiring developers based overseas?

If you want the positions in Japan, there are a lot of candidates because we need english speaking developer/geek. For example, these would be the famous examples including GREE and DeNA: http://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-tech-startups-in-Tokyo

The average salary probably is 4m-6m yen/year (about $7000).

8maki··on Ask HN: What are some great examples of a Minimum Viable Product?

The controller of family computer from Nintendo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Famicom_controllers.jpg

8maki··on Ask HN: Localized HN-like Websites?

I am from Japan. Hatena Bookmark, social bookmarking community like digg, would be the biggest community where Japanese hackers share information though it is only by Japanese. http://b.hatena.ne.jp/

Foreign hackers in Japan are here. http://www.tokyo2point0.net/

Anyway, English speaking Japanese hackers would check the same community with you, I think.
