davefp··on Show HN: An experiment - IRC channel from just a URL
The instant Twitter auth kills it for me, sorry.

That's bad styling on my part.

The 'bag' logo goes to the homepage, but the text underneath it ("we're hiring") goes to the careers page.

I realize after reading your comment that it doesn't make sense to send people to our homepage at all, so I'm going to change it so that clicking the bag sends you to the careers page too.

Thanks!

You're right. At the moment the site is very developer-centric.

Ultimately I'd love to have multiple options for that section. One for design, support, finance, whatever. Time constraints mean that developers are the center of attention for now.

davefp··on Spring Cleaning Repos - Open Sourcing all my ROR Apps
Props for doing this. Old projects are often a goldmine for people getting into a given framework, or people working on a similar idea.
davefp··on Only Apple and Google are skating to where the puck is going
It seems like the author sees where Apple is skating, and assumes the puck must be going there also.
davefp··on Show HN: hint.css – a tooltip library in CSS
Neat idea, and seems to work well.

On the other hand, having to include two classes seems sloppy. Why not just roll the core styles into the position classes, or include a default position in the 'hint' class?

Double dashes in class names are also annoying.

davefp··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2013)
OTTAWA, ON, CANADA. Full-time and INTERNships.

Shopify

Shopify is the easiest way to start selling online.

Here are some milestones we hit in 2012:

* $1,000,000,000 Merchant GMV

* 40,000 Merchants selling on Shopify

* 100% YoY increase in team size, merchant count, and revenue

We're a Ruby on Rails shop with strong mobile and javascript teams. The perks aren't half bad either.

Gets stuck on the second 'magic in progress' page :(
davefp··on The Paradox of Sharing: should you share a contest if you get extra entries?
Read the article and find out?
davefp··on Ask HN: who started something in 2012 which is already profitable?
Paranoid much. I'm not sure that the advice that article gives 'stay underwater while raking in the $' is really possible if you have a 'runaway success' on your hands.
