hodbby··on Ask HN - how to be a great software test engineer?
I must say most of the comments here are either irrelevant or bunch of crap: You asked about software test and people wrote you about automation which is irrelevant to your question. Tips from 4dr144n are very good.

I am doing QA for the last 13 years, so these are my tips: 1. Do not take anything as OBVIOUS. for example- People say the sun rise from the east. how do you know? did you see it? you should test it and confirm it is true. 2. To find many bugs doesn't mean you did a good job, you should try and find the quality ones. we call it 'Show Stopper' because they block the software from being shown to the public. 3. GUI bugs are as important as functionality ones. 4. Become a friend with the developers but let them eat shit with your bugs. it will be easier for them to handle a shit from a friend. 5. When you report a bug- be as much as informative as can be (screen captures, logs, debugging). the developer will appreciate it 6. Be the best in the company about the feature you are testing, make them feel you are the focalpoint of that feature.

good luck man

hodbby··on Show HN: What do you guys think of our beta landing page?
1. name (diglig) means nothing to me, even sounds stupid. 2. 'your do engine' below the diglig using small and not pleasant font 3. I had to read it 3 times to really understand what you are doing 4. Too much gifs, text and colors. You have to keep it KISS 5. The follow us appears twice (where logo and below gifs) 6. Why Email* ? 7. bottom links do not work

Bottom line- Unless you asked me to review- In real life i would not stayed their more then few seconds.

Good luck Guys

hodbby··on Ask HN: How should I store passwords?
May i suggest my own secure system: It is well known that the weakest part in any security system is the password, not many remember them and most of the people (especially the average ones) just hand write them and stick on the monitor. Solution- create a system of your own inside your brain to remember a password, do not use a software, application, stick note or else. use your own brain.
