I have been building web apps for a decade and I've touched at every aspect of the process, from design to DevOps. I am looking for remote mid/senior Full-stack work OR entry level Machine learning (will take a pay cut there as I am still learning.)
m4nu··on “Node.js is one of the worst things to happen to the software industry” (2012)
Rants without proposing any alternative solutions can't redeem any use at all. Their only reason to be is to wrongly make their authors feel smart or skilled.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Advices, Literrature, hacks for prepping to be a parent
Thank you for the comprehensive list! Especially like the first and third one. Just those 2 probably can weight a whole lot in a child well being.
m4nu··on Elbowing JavaScript out
>the fact that it lives in the web stack right next to the presentation layer, really sucks (I think)

I can't see by what logic the interviewee arrived to this conclusion. How is the presentation logic out of place in the presentation layer? Modern API/consumer based architecture make way more sense than having MVC structures where business logic, storage logic and presentation logic intertwine.

Email: manu at nota.io

I'm a fullstack software developer with 10 year experience, living in between France and China (theses days mostly China). I am deeply passionate about solving real world problems with the cleanest and the simplest possible code. I am currently looking for a steady remote work, ideally a development studio.

m4nu··on The Stock Market Will Rally in December and Then Crash – Here's Why
For sure you can do better than zero interest rate. How about bonds, life insurance ?

On a riskier side a passive/long term investment strategy is in IMO a good way to go. Buy a few ETFs and forget about them.

m4nu··on We put $200k into a site that sucks. Please destroy us with your criticism
Nice try but all you'll get from HN is a bump on your analytic graphs and I bet not one real user.

Anyhow I wonder how you came into pouring 200k into this idea (or maybe this is a catch number to get HN attention). Did you do any sort of validation prior to that? FYI I'd built this whole site for 5% of that budget

m4nu··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (June 2014)
SEEKING WORK

China, Shenzhen (French Expat) | Full & Part Time | Remote

Main Languages: PHP / JS / HTML&CSS

Current favourite tools: Laravel(3 years XP), BackboneJS(3 Years XP), AngularJS (Few months), Meteor(Few months), AWS

Secondary Languages: NodeJS, Python

Resume: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1u39jlth9tndro0/emmanuel_chappat_f...

I am a completely autonomous full stack dev with roughly 10 years experience. I can build a product from the ground up, from design work to maintaining & setting up Unix servers. I have strong product sense & write agile and future proof code.

My latest app: https://nota.io (personal project). I also have a rather outdated portfolio at: http://m4nu.co/work/

I can be reached at nota.io domain's, my handle is manu.

PS: For the right opportunity of learning an interesting tech, I can take a few week off to get up to speed. I already know quite a few languages as a hobby so chances are that I won’t have to start from scratch.

m4nu··on Ask HN: Who'd hire full stack developers
I am just out of my own product right now so I can't dive in a non-paid project for the time being. Good luck with that tho.

m4nu··on Ask HN: Who'd hire full stack developers
Thanks. I can be reached at my nota.io email. My handle is manu.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Who'd hire full stack developers
Thanks for the input. For the geo location I am a french Expat in china which is why I am asking HN cause they aren't much opportunities around here. I am ok to relocate for the right fit.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Did you start a company whilst employed?
Started working on https://nota.io while employed as full stack dev. The idea actually came from my day to day workflow.

Quickly I found that I had trouble focusing on the job that was actually paying me and all i wanted to do is build my app. So I quit (my employer totally understood my motivations). That was 6 months ago.

Now I've launched a few week ago and I am realising that I planed a bit short budget wise, so soon I am afraid I'll have to go back job hunting. I wish i had plan for more slack.

The lesson that i've taken form that is that if you want to build a software that you are passionate about soon enough it will take all your focus. So do plan on that. Validate and plan as much as possible while keeping your day job and when you are as ready as you possibly can just take the dive! Good luck.

m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Yep I got that much out of it. So far I was not really lucky communicating with them. Will push further down that path. Thanks for the input.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Thanks, good point. That is the next step.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Thanks that. 300+ welcome email and you are the first who got that one !
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Actually Nota uses Iframe to display the site. The widget can not be accessed directly form the site unless you have selected the "Widget on" option when creating you project. This is defiantly save in production. There is almost no overhead of having the snippet in place.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Thanks Shankysingh. Looking forward to see you there. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you need assistance. Good luck with the startup.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Thank you. Will work on improving that.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Never heard of it. Googled it, their certificate is broken and it seems to be fetching stuff from fishy domains name. I stopped there. If you used trackDuck tho I'd love to hear your feedback about how/if it differs.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Got it, shitty landing page. Fair enough.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Faire enough. I didn't list prices because I was not sure but now I understand some prices (even if inaccurate) are better than non at all. I am thinking: 1 Active Project + 1 Archived Project, Unlimited users 9USD/mo 3 Active Project + 2 Archived Project, Unlimited users 19USD/mo 5 Active Project + 3 Archived Project, Unlimited users 29USD/mo
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Could you send me a ticket via UserVoice (bottom right corner) so that I can have you user ID and have a look at what might be wrong?

Nothing is really keeping it to be pushed to production. I was just hopping to get more feedback before proceeding to that step.

Thanks for the input.

m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Well there is a whole bunch of value that goes with this. Event tracking, rendering of pretty damn accurate "screen grabs", reproducing of the environment.

I think you made a good point about the typical project live spam and I might be reason why people can not get to use the tool righ away. I personally see that tool being very useful for "intra team" communication as well.

m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Oh well I would love to hear feedback from you. As mentioned somewhere else in that bunch of comment I am more than willing to give away long term free use for any one willing to give this a serious try and share the experience with me.

The registration process is very small (basically one more field than a sign-in) and you can delete your account anytime if you are not satisfied. Once logged in you will see a tutorial that highlights the main features of Nota in under a minutes.

Will work on a screen cast of the app first very soon.

Thanks for sharing

m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Well I'd give life long use to the right beta users willing to give me serious feedback. It's the very least I could do. I am currently trying that approach with cold mailing but not getting a whole lot of attention with that (actually none at all)
