Not sure hiding the source code is a good idea. Check out how Ghost did it, they have a very similar approach.

In my experience, the only thing that helps in this case is to change people around you. If you're into startups, go to startup events, meet people there. If you're into travelling - join some group trip. New experience and new friends will boost your energy. And never forget to take care of yourself, eat healthy food, exercise etc.

It's ok. Just make sure you plan your changes and stick to the plan: it's too easy to fall in a trap of uncontrolled perfectionism.

Plan features for the next 1-2 weeks and complete them. Then plan for the next 1-2 weeks etc.

Only do things that are important and should be done immediately, ignore all the rest (like important, but can wait; etc).

Make them sign NDA.

Actually, this might not be a bad idea. I know devs don't like speaking to HR because of the questions they ask and how they look at the resume (match buzzwords etc). It might make sense to train HRs to be a little bit more technical. Thank you!

Not sure what you mean

They mean any paper, including toilet paper. This warning is common in Russia, don't ask why.

This is very cool! We use SmartyStreets because of the price. Where did you get the addresses database?

Sorry I didn't respond to that. No, I'm not associated with Telegram in any way. And I'm not crypto professional :)

I totally understand what Telegram critics are saying, but in every article there's always a note "Please use TextSecure, don't use Telegram". By how it looks, it seems to be a way to market TextSecure and not to discover Telegram's security flaws. And critics rarely respond to Telegram team's comments where they say that the claims are wrong.

Alright, haters is probaby a too strong term. TextSecure team pointed out flaws in the first topic about Telegram on HN and these flaws were answered by Telegram team: they updated FAQ, they commented in twitter and here on HN. Every post with Telegram's flaws explicitly mentions TextSecure as an alternative, and that is suspicious - they seem to find it a great way to get publicity.

WhatsApp already does everything that messenger should do - send text, images, video, files, location, group chats. The only thing that's not yet there is super-fast speed and security - and those are Telegram's priorities. They will get feedback from crypto community and update their protocols, they definitely have a potential to do it.

By the comments it seems that most of the active haters of Telegram are TextSecure team. Yes, they want publicity and funding - and who doesn't?

Oh, wow, and people complain about Telegram team's attitude. Don't be so vulnerable, please. Take the critics easy.

As for the article, it's well written, but most of the points had been answered in Telegram FAQ or comments on HN. And yet they come up again and again. Not all, most.

Yep. So far it was more like "Please please don't use Telegram. Please please use TextSecure.".
