How about you flip this question and ask people why it will work. I mean at least for me , I got so many naysayers around me so that I don't have to go HN and ask why my idea is bad :)

I already started using it as background for my work :)

No pills needed for this acid burn. Well done :)

Because according to "day in life of Twitter developer" day is filled with 5 different meals and snacks and call to gf and end of the day at 5 PM? so what you expect ? :D

+1 for your effort. -1 for "look and feel"- I mean it is colory. It should be boring like HN so only content shines :)

Says author who is" Hi, I’m Zack Kanter. I’m the _founder & CEO_ of Stedi...."

Ironic huh?

Buzzcut uneven right is good but left one is wave. On back side don't even ask :D

No one is going to say : Sex ? Okay. It is not that remarkable for humans I guess :D

You can't argue with greed using rationality. Dear Zuckerberg needs Federal law that breaks down his company into tiny pieces. I don't think "urging" is useful here.

This stats is going to create mess without actual numbers

Can you provide value of X ? Also #number of subscriptions? also growth rate? dropout rate? timeline?

My point any advice without enough data is risky to give and take. I hope you understand.

I am creature of habits. I like consistency in my world. I hate chaos. Java is not perfect language. But with Java I feel peaceful. At least I am not surprised by my own code. Underhyped or overhyped - I am with Java :)

I am not scared of someone who reads 200 books a year. I am scared of someone who reads 1 book again and again and digest one great idea , write about it, talks about it add his/her own ideas, make it even more powerful and spread it like wild fire.

// incentivizing people to contribute to open source//

That is the problem right there. As Alan Watts used to say "It is double bind". Kind of saying "you MUST love me spontaneously"

open-source or closed-source 1)volunteers will do volunteers using their own "free will"- You don't have to do anything 2) If you want "influence" 1 then it is not 1 so hire professional and pay money to do work.

What is next? Programing Languages based on Race color?

I have feeling someone German/Russian is already working on this one. Davay geht los :)

I could not read more than 10 sec after clicking the link. I mean for God's sake how many ads on single page? I suggest move content to static site for better readability.

Sounds like lot of self help book. lot of ambiguous words but noting useful to OP

I suggest "Making better software" documentary on Amazon Prime by Joel Spolsky. Also you can read his blog on [0]

Huge respect for him. Kind of dream manager you want :)

You nailed it. FB and Google are just advertising companies. I am not sure what so fuss about "I am Ex-FB or I am Ex-Google". They might as well say I am Don Drapper :)

I understand what you saying it is indeed scam. But my question can I use Signal just to chat with my friends/family and ignore everything else and live my life peacefully? In other words, are they forcing every user to use this "MOB" to transfer money for something? If not, then we can ignore them :)

I don't understand what all the all fuss about. How much money people have really that you need 100 payment apps to send money on top of existing banks? I just wise/transferwise for overseas transfer other than that my bank. You think I am poor minority and don't care about payment drama?

Congratulations mate. Stay liquid :))

I was thinking writing title in my linkedIn profile "Not 10x developer just plain old average John Doe developer". I agree with your sentiment here

They forgot to say "LOL" at the end of this, right?

+ 1 for dog - man's best friend :))

I disagree. QA is not SW development at all. Start with front end developer in any language, any framework or anything. But no QA or Testing.

upvoted even if it is not relevant to this but I am Java guy. I just upvote when I see it :)

Does this mean we remove articles in ++ version of English ? You have my vote :)

why do you think compensation tied to "higher level"? Also why do think "senior" is higher level? It it because of year of experience or kind of tasks? If it is because of kind of task senior does , does it mean what junior does is less valuable? Who decides? Can we not question whole foundation of compensation and "title" based system? Of course I am not asking you to answer. Just thinking aloud here :)

If it is free then you are the product. My suggestions would be "don't make other people rich by giving your life away- time".
