Well VirusTotal was acquired by Google and is thriving, so not everything turns to garbage.
lgomezma··on On-Demand Startups Are Hemorrhaging Tens of Billions a Year
Like Warren Buffet says "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked". Most of these companies didn't exist when the last recession happened. Let's see how many will exist after the next one.

lgomezma··on Ask HN: How would you recruit developers to move to the Cayman Islands?
I guess both money and an interesting project. For me both are requirements.
lgomezma··on Ask HN: How do you deal with professional jealousy and getting older?
I'm 29 and have exactly the same problem.

I think visiting sites like HN although interesting, don't help too much with this since you see everyday new projects and ideas, and it makes you feel like you are doing nothing with your time.

lgomezma··on 37signals Works Remotely [video]
In my case it's also about location. I am a Spaniard working in the Netherlands for a few years now, paying high rents and being far from family and friends. I could live in Greece (where my wife is from and where we have a fully paid house) but unfortunately there are almost no tech-related jobs there. As a web developer almost 100% of what I do on a daily basis could be done remotely. I wonder if remote work could be the solution for thousands of people like me who have to leave their countries just to find a job.

1+ are you willing to hire engineers from Europe?
lgomezma··on Snowden appeals to 15 countries for political asylum
I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in a plane to Venezuela, after all Maduro is in Russia at the moment.
lgomezma··on Ask HN: Has the "Who's Hiring" thing worked out for anyone?
For me it helps in the sense that I would prefer to work for a company that actually knows what Hacker News is. Not that easy to find here in Europe...
lgomezma··on Ask HN: Has the "Who's Hiring" thing worked out for anyone?
I couldn't agree more on the developer-to-developer language. We tend to forget that companies are made by people and for people.
lgomezma··on MongoDB's New Query Matcher
I would also love to see that happen... MongoDB is implementing really nice new features but I get the feeling that they are leaving behind some more important ones like what you just mentioned.
