Become a composer.

Your orchestra will consist of hardware, platform software, programming, architecture, UX, design, images, sound and the general idea of the product.
Don't isolate those aspects. Instead, let them influence, supplement and fertilize each other.
Concentrate on the product as a whole, and it can become a masterpiece.

Yes, you will need to aqcuire a deep enough understanding and practice in each of these aspects. Don't believe management people who think you can achieve the same result without it.
There is no composer I know of who didn't play at least one instrument at a very high level, and the others at least at entry level, knowing their strengths and limitations very well.

The limit to this metaphor is of course that due to practical reasons, composers did not play all 100 instruments of their opus themselves :)

But I do think a lot of the boundaries created in the software industry are artificial to a large degree (I'm looking at you, software architects).
Overcome these boundaries in your thinking, and you will become more valuable to your customers and/or to your boss. You can still ask specialists to do an extremely sophisticated job if required.
Even if you are a specialist: If you think a little bit more like a composer, you will become even better in your speciality, because you will avoid mistakes that happen in isolation.

A typical example for isolation:
My boss (who has no idea of programming) hired a designer to refreshen an old product of ours. At the time I came into play (as software engineer), he had already proposed a lot of major changes to the UX. Too bad: The product was embedded in SharePoint and used the SharePoint-Ribbon (not that that was a good idea, but thats the way it was), which couldn't be changed easily. And of course, layout changes in the extremly degenerated HTML would lead to massive programming effort (which my boss didn't want to pay). So I had to tell the poor designer that all his nice ideas couldn't be done. At least we could change some of the colors :)

An example for over-the-boundaries thinking:
I don't recall which device that was, since I'm not the mobile/tablet type of guy, but I saw a presentation of some tablet, where the presenter plugged in a USB device, and the screen showed the device at exactly the place where it had been plugged in. So natural. Think of this: Would you as UX designer who typically designs web pages have thought of that when working in Photoshop?
But '11..22' yields 11,22 11:22 11/22 etc.

Seems the Unix Bourne shell is seeping in - single quotes are for real, double quotes allow param substitution ...
Addressing one of the specific points in the post, I have to wonder, how much of a language barrier is there really for an anglophone in Berlin?

As a silly little English-only American, I spent a good chunk of the last year in Taipei, and didn't do too bad. When you really needed someone who spoke reasonable English, they were usually around. I'd think it'd be a lot better in Berlin, especially if you're just hanging around hotels and nearby businesses used to dealing with international clients.

This joke is getting a little old. What is the chance for an employee to own an iPhone 5 and actually lose it? again. Apple is probably the most skilled company at giving out "leaks", because many times people don't even realize the leak was seeded by Apple.
Not that I actually believe that PakG1's interest in this technology seriously involved an iPhone prototype, but I actually have a test unit of this product clipped to my bag, paired to my iPhone (and not because I sprinkled it with my magic Cydia pixie dust either ;P).

Your link seems to present the unemployment rate of all college graduates, regardless of graduation year. The article talks about recent graduates, which are not singled out in the referenced statistics, so I think it's not entirely applicable.

I do agree that the some hard data would make a nice addition to the article, though.
I think I see what you're trying to say --- practical experience beats theoretical knowledge in most work you'll do in industry --- and I agree. But as someone who did an EECS program that didn't require a lot of coding, I've found that a lot of the practical specifics are easy to pick up when they readily fit within the theoretical frameworks that I've learned.
Tough Job Interview Question You Need to Know
If you are scheduled for a job interview sometime soon, expect to be asked with difficult job interview questions. This is due to the fact that job interviewers need to get more information about you and use this to evaluate your personality and work traits. If you want to ace your job interview, here are some of the toughest job interview questions you should expect and be prepared for:
IT people in Berlin speak very good English. Most of the "mistakes" they make are common German-to-English mistakes that you will automatically correct in your head after hearing them a few times.

The question is whether the work language is English or not. If people find it easier to discuss problems in their native tongue, then that is where you will miss out. And these discussions may be some of the harder conversations to follow.

One more factor to consider, though: angel or Series A preferred shares often cost much more per share than the employee's per-share Common strike price. The option-exercising employee has a lower outlay and thus less risk. Of course, in all but the most favorable exits the reward per share will also be smaller.

I quite like the idea, so I decided to test it out. However, after filling the form and paying, there is no feedback. I expected an email with the rest of process: "You can expect the first results in X hrs/days" or so. Now I just have to hope something comes out of it.
Then that is a fundamental problem with SSL.

Show HN: PostCatcher - the POST requests testing app (Node Knockout solo entry)
PostCatcher lets you debug webhooks by capturing and logging the asynchronous requests made when events happen. Create a PostCatcher and register the URL with a webhook triggerer. All POST requests to the URL are logged for you to see when you browse to that URL.

It is my first node.js app. It is insparated by postbin.org, but I plan to add few additional features after the Node nockout contest.
This is such a cool idea. Imagine syntax highlighting in your IDE that could show colors based on whether a subsection of code was O(n), O(n^2) etc. I'm learning about compilers and might soon be lucky enough to explore if this is possible.

Hmm, sounds like an exact copy of Perspectives:

Without having a bias towards the investor community, I think this comparison is only done from a money standpoint. Its also important to note what other value investor money and involvement brings to the organisation.

Investors bring contacts from their immediate and extended network, sometimes a strong brand (think SV Angel/ YC), mentorship, experts in the given field, and media attention.
Uhm, I did read the article, and no, 'putting in' 50k by getting a lower salary is not 'being an investor to all intents and purposes'. For one because the investor brings cash, the guy just work and time. Now you can argue that cash is 'fungible' and how the real value comes from the employees - blah blah blah the market says otherwise.

You forgot that the Series B round was raised at a bubble-driven $60m valuation. Investor preferences kick in at the $30m exit so the employee gets $52,500.

This guy can work for a year and invest his money on the same terms as angel investors.
The only technical problem how to do it tax free, b/c you obviously owe income tax and in some countries like Israel also VAT.

There are some solutions, but they are not trivial. The employee actually buys a convertible debt in the company on the similar terms as angel investor and can cash out on later rounds.

Estancias Buenos Aires
Depends on if the startup got production material and deals. Letting people in more than a very small equity and salary is just plain stupid if you worked hard for a year to get anywhere. Hardest thing is not to compe up with an idea, hardest things are: start, execute, ship, and have models to get paid. When these are almost done, new founders are not needed - they should have joined earlier.

I've lately met people tryng to get onto the boat as if all we worked for was air. If I take someone more in for more than a good salary he/she better be a unshaped diamond.

Of course, the article mentions 50% of normal salary for 1% - that is just so stupid. The people who wants to signed up on that cannot be unshaped diamonds.
Complexity​, Outliers and the Truth on IT Project Failure
Delhi Hackathon September 2011
Damn... and here I am trying to refactor it... I even got as far as:

F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n+2)
-> F(n) + F(n-3) = F(n-2)
--> F(n) = F(n-2) - F(n-3)

so with F(0) = 0 and F(1) = 1 it gives F(3) = 1, but then you kinda need to figure out what F(2) may be...

Oh well, on to the next problem then.
There are a bunch of Developer Advocates that are based in Google's London office. They do fairly regular office hours at London's TechHub space, work with UK teams, and in general are active in the city/country.

So while there might not be big formal events this year in London, there's a lot more day-to-day availability and involvement.
I think this has to be tempered with an acceptance that we all have strengths and weaknesses, and sometimes you are not the right person for 'that' job.

If you are working in a team at a big company it's easy to recognize this because the person who is sits in the next cubicle. Programmers don't start making product flyers because the marketing guy always does them so well.

But working alone, when do you decide to hire another freelancer to do that bit?
A friend who designs games always hires artists to concept how important models should look. They send him some pencil sketches. Surely he could save money by coming up with an idea and just drawing it, it's not hard...
But the ideas from a good concept artist are just better than what he or I would do. They spend a lot of time getting so skilled, and if he invested that same time, no game would get made.

So yeah, knowing how to do everything is good, but spotting when you need to have spent those 10'000 hours more so...

Ask HN: What do you think is broken?
What do you think is currently broken, or inefficient? As an example, I think that desktop syncing is currently more work than it needs to be and doesn't have a great user experience. I'd like to imagine that I could easily be out and about using a laptop working on a document and downloading files. Then when I get home and switch on my desktop, it boots up to the exact same desktop with the same files I'd just been using. If I take a photo with my iPhone, it'd be good to have that photo automatically on my laptop in the right folder.

I know it's possible at the moment, and Dropbox does an incredible job at syncing folders, but it still seems like there's a huge disconnect between all my different devices. This may well be what Apple's trying to change with iCloud.

I was just wondering what things other HackerNewsers thought was broken (or at least could be improved on)?
In the course of my studies, I remember encountering two approaches explicitly targeting the design of complex systems:

* "Interaction design for complex problem solving: Developing useful and usable software" (a book by B. Mirel, 2004)

* Cognitive Dimensions Framework (the best place to start is probably http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~afb21/publications/BlackwellGreen-C... )

But as others have pointed out, it depends on what kind of complex system you are talking about.

Eric Sink. Things I learned selling Teamprise to Microsoft. Video & transcript.
Great writing, you hooked me with this line about the interview:

> The door creaked open, and in hulked a large, bald headed, giant of a man. He was 6 foot 6 if he was a an inch, and he was very clearly bleeding from his head. I would much later come to find out it was due to his antics while under the influence of pills.
No offense, but this is horseshit and the math is embarrassing.

The number of people ready to invest $500k, for whom this is "a small part of his capital," is about 1/1000th of the number of people who will enjoy working and learning in a small, exciting company, and having more input into the product, regardless of total potential for financial gain. So, the value of $500k in cash from an accredited investor is already worth more than the time investment of the average employee, for whom there are replacements lining up. [Edit] This is to say nothing of the additional value that an investor adds.

Even if that were not the case, and this were strictly a math exercise, the investor is putting in $500k NOW. You're putting in $50k spread out over the next 365 days, during which a solid company's valuation may go up by ten fold. Right now, your $50k is worth 1% of the company. But you're not putting in $50k NOW. You're putting in $0 NOW. You're putting in $136 tomorrow, and $136 the next day. Good luck making an early stage investment in an exciting startup for $136. I have never seen early stage stock available on lay away.

Ask the secretaries at Microsoft or Google if they got ripped off. This is a joke.
Here's a pledge, fuck software patents. I used blackboard in multiple schools and it was terrible, so screw anyone who tries to impede those who improve upon that system.

Given that PG cannot think of "anything that would have turned out for the worse without software patents", what-say-you we hold out for what is really needed, no software patents. That is, let's wait until this problem gets worse, get even more outraged, and effect our own change by getting businesses for whom we work to stop engaging in these vaine battles
Ha!

It's just hallway testing with anyone in my immediate vicinity at the moment which provides nice instant feedback but looking into some sort of open beta when the time is right.

But in all seriousness, thats one bit I'm not going to kid myself can be done alone. You cannot user test your own code. There's just too much baggage & you never act like a normal user would.

As the developer you use exactly the right controls in exactly the right sequence & come away thinking the software is much more usable/stable than it is :)

The investors invests $500k NOW, usually with no ability to take their money back. The employee invests $136 each day with the option to leave and cut their losses anytime.
All serious implications aside for a moment, isn't this refreshingly ironic? Wikileaks having to deal with important information about THEM being leaked for a change.
This is no different than "generation X" in the early 90's. We were called "slackers" then. Lots of well-educated folks with no real job prospects and no money. I made $8/hour performing science demonstrations for children!

That's OK though, I think it was normal then and it is normal now. A life of seamless transitions from school to successively higher prestige jobs is a myth and probably always has been.
