so, i started at a new company last year, and a second person in the same role (customer success) started the same day. when we were doing icebreakers (we were 2 out of a big group starting that day) my team counterpart explained that leading up to current company he's been a 'startup ninja,' building teams and establishing processes. I thought to myself: "that's strikes 1 and 2 right there"

I could be wrong (or just self-centered) but I feel like the 'ninja' self-designation is more common in sales and marketing roles because we're all making stuff up as we go anyway; I feel like you'd have to be an exceptionally formidable technologist to use the ninja moniker without quockly having to shows examples of work that prove it.

Blockgeeks isn't free, but they do offer free week and you can get through a lot of the material in that time

just signed up last week! I have heard plenty about HN previously but my experience has been 3rd-degree connection at best. So far I am loving the quality of content being shared. Regarding the discussions, I don't know that they've changed my mind quite yet (only been a week, though) but each i learn something new and do take some time to critically explore a topic or idea, so in my book what this community offers is laudable.
