crispytx··on Ask HN: What's your beef with PHP?
PHP is the bomb.
crispytx··on Ask HN: Why Haven't GUI Front End Editors Caught On?
Well, they sort of have in the form of Wix and Squarespace.
crispytx··on React Native at Instagram
I've never used React Native, but I have done a lot of messing around with Apache Cordova / PhoneGap. From my experience, you're probably better off just developing your apps the "standard way" with Android Studio or xcode. I'm sure React Native doesn't have the exact same problems as PhoneGap, but I bet there are some problems. If there weren't any problems, the iOS and Android codebases would be nearly identical. But that's just my opinion... man.
crispytx··on Ask HN: What are the best resources to create an LLC/Incorporate?

crispytx··on Ask HN: Submit Questions for Office Hours with YC
I recently read a blog post from Paul Graham titled, "Change Your Name." He suggests that "if you have a US startup called X and you don't have x.com, you should probably change your name." Taking this in to consideration, I decided to change the name of my side project. However, I soon discovered that its nearly impossible to acquire a good ".com" due to domain squatting by companies like Uniregistry Corp. It seems like domain squatting / speculating is the driving force behind goofy startup names, and maybe its time to just start using other TLDs. Anyway: What do you think about domain squatting and startup names Sam?
crispytx··on Facebook will lose 80% of users by 2017, say Princeton researchers (2014)
Facebook still may lose 80% of users in the near future. AOL Instant Messenger used to be the shit and everybody used it...
crispytx··on 'Legitimate' US healthcare pricing could reduce costs by a third
My wife's wheelchair that the insurance company is paying for costs $6,000. The "loaner" wheelchair she's using now costs $400. The $6,000 chair being built is essentially the same as the $400 chair. Fraud like this is the reason we have the most expensive per capita healthcare in the world.
crispytx··on Does Google execute JavaScript?
Best post I've seen on Hacker News. I've always played it safe and never assumed Google would index content displayed dynamically with JavaScript, but now I know!
crispytx··on Larry Page is pouring millions into flying cars
These companies are trying to produce something that already exists: The Ultralight Aircraft. Ultralights are cheap, require little training, and no licensing to operate. HOWEVER, they're @#$%ing slow, and aren't practical as a means of transportation because you can get places faster in car.
crispytx··on What is Google waiting to make official the support of Android apps on ChromeOS?
Yeah what's up with that? I kept hearing all this stuff about "Andromeda OS", and then nothing.
crispytx··on Ask HN: Do a coworking space make you more productive?
Pretty sure coworking spaces make for pretty shitty programming environments.
crispytx··on Most of the code you write, has probably been written before. Why not reuse it?
Haters gonna hate.
crispytx··on Most of the code you write, has probably been written before. Why not reuse it?
Sounds cool. A little bit like Github's "Gist".
crispytx··on Ask HN: Should I get an MBA?
Only get an MBA if you lack creativity and enjoy busy work.
crispytx··on Ask HN: What web framework do you use? Why did you choose it?
#Baller
crispytx··on Ask HN: What web framework do you use? Why did you choose it?
I don't use a framework, because with PHP you don't need one.
crispytx··on Raspberry Pi releases an OS to breathe new life into old PCs

Now I've got something to listen to in the car for the next couple months! (There are like 6 or 7 pages worth of episode links)
crispytx··on Ask HN: When should I build app or website?
Website/webapp would probably be easiest. Airbnb started as a website.

Maybe these developers that produce "negative work" think your code sucks. Ever consider that?
crispytx··on Ask HN: Does anyone else have (or had) problems in dating or getting married?
You need to go out every Friday night. Never miss a Friday night. Note, this only works if you go out every Friday night for a long time, years if necessary.
