"My My Hack Reactor classmate Mike Adams' app Instahood is pretty cool. It shows recent Instagram photos from any location you choose. When you first open it, you see photos at your current location. Then you can look at pictures wherever else you want, either by clicking somewhere on the map or by searching for a place (with auto-complete!)

He used Meteor (web framework), the Google Maps API, and the Instagram API."

    All night we hack,
    And sleep we lack.
    We eat junk food,
    The code is crude. 
    Nevertheless,
    Friends are impressed,
    When in the morning,
    Our post on HN* is roaring!

I wish I left some interviews early :)

In the end it's important to leave on a good impression for future connections but probably those people (in your friends company) were arrogant immature kids in the first place and they don't care about good future connections anyways. In this case don't waste your time. Same for the interviewers - please let the people know early on and save their time instead of being "polite" and dragging them into meetings multiple people (usually with the same dumb questions) or even stretching interview process into multiple days!

For those of you who still thinks PHP is the best thing - don't give me bad karma :)
