marcofucci··on What Is It Like To Have a Photographic Memory?
I agree. I have a really bad memory but I can easily "listen" to a song I have heard a few times and I can hear several instruments, not only one. I think that this is just because I'm a musician.
marcofucci··on Ask HN: How did you find your early adopters?
Wanted to check out your project but your homepage looks broken on my iPhone. You might want to fix it ;-)
marcofucci··on FreezeGun: easy mocking of Python datetimes
Quick question: why did you need to write FreezeGun?

I've always used Mock http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/ to patch datetimes and I've never had any problems.

You can patch pretty much anything with Mock.

marcofucci··on Why won't anyone talk to me? What recruiters look for in a resume
Well, I totally agree with you that there are no perfect companies but for the rest, I believe you don't have very good arguments.

I do understand that recruiters have to place people and they don't really mind/understand if the company is good or not but I can't see why this should be our problem.

marcofucci··on Why Django and Rails CMS Are So Rare
Built lots of CMS in Django. In my experience, they are usually custom and never the same.

For this reason I usually use FeinCMS (http://www.feincms.org/) and configure/customise things according to my client's needs.

marcofucci··on Why won't anyone talk to me? What recruiters look for in a resume
"If you’ve had five jobs in the last five years, why should the recruiter think this time will be different?"

Maybe because who is hiring is supposed to be better than the others? There are far too many terrible companies, especially the big ones, and honestly I would never stay in a company just for the sake of it.

If recruiters think that this is a problem, it means that who is hiring is not confident enough or worse, the company IS really terrible like the others.

IMHO, nobody leaves a company if he feels good, stimulated and paid enough.

marcofucci··on Python Libraries you should know about
I see your point but in my opinion, requests is quite different from SQLAlchemy, Flask and fabric. I wouldn't put them at the same level.
marcofucci··on Python Libraries you should know about
You should probably add requests http://docs.python-requests.org. Anyway great list! I'm already using most of them and they are awesome.

Same in London.
marcofucci··on Tiny Piano sales quadruple due to Apple commercial
Well, I guess it's good for us developers. Great news for you guys, congratulations!
marcofucci··on Tiny Piano sales quadruple due to Apple commercial
Am I the only one to find this a bit sad? People do what Apple does. I know, it's always been like this...

marcofucci··on Freelancing: A 6-Month Retrospective
> there's a severe shortage of good developers Couldn't agree more!
marcofucci··on Building a higher-level query API: the right way to use Django's ORM
I'm a freelancer and I've been using this approach since ever. I wish more developers did too because it's really frustrating when they don't and you need to maintain their code.
marcofucci··on Google Art Project
It doesn't work at all? Well if you use another browser and take a look at it you might understand why. I would probably do the same.
marcofucci··on Awesome scrolling effect (using css3 transformations)
I saw it several months ago
marcofucci··on I'm burning out and I can't tell anyone

The author has some really good points and ideas.

marcofucci··on The Box: Amazing demo using Sprite3D.js and CSS 3D Transforms
It works perfectly on Safari
marcofucci··on Stop Paying Your jQuery Tax
Agree, I use Django and I had no idea what they were talking about. They should check out other frameworks before writing posts with generic headlines.
marcofucci··on I Have No Idea [Why Apple Featured My App]
Apple often features apps of poor quality and it's not always clear why (e.g. games with 3 stars developed by big names or indie apps not working as they promise). So, yes, I understand why people are surprised.
marcofucci··on Django Production Deployment and Development Using Git
I use fabric as well with your same approach but I sometimes find easier to have git installed on the server and just pull from the main repository. I also use fabric for nginx and Apache config files so that I keep track of the changes and replace the files on the server if needed. And finally, I use fabric again to install needed virtualenv requirements.

marcofucci··on I quit my high-paying job to follow my dream of launching a startup. Here it is.
Nice idea. With 10K people signing up for lifetime you get 499*10K = almost 5 million, not bad!
marcofucci··on Ask HN: What's your experience with remote working? as employees/employers?
I'm a Django developer working from home most of the time. As you said, it is a bit depressing at the beginning but I believe that with time you start developing new activities and make friends online. I find it really productive and stimulating but it depends on your character of course.
marcofucci··on Poll: As a freelancer, how much do you bill per hour?
My hourly rate is usually higher than my daily rate, in this way most of my clients tend to hire me for the whole day. But it depends on the type of job I guess.
