Great read. I've seen it happen-my boss was asked to go back and help consult to a bank he used to work for (this was in 2008, the bank was failing and being bought) about some database archive features he implemented, IIRC. Also, in my current job, I'm currently at a customer site helping them figure out how the machine we sold them a year
ago works. Engineering documentation is just as important as software documentation.

I think people are more likely downvoting because "it's PHP also" is utterly incorrect, yet stated as if it's fact. As for the UI, many HN members (including pg?) have expressed the idea that the types of people that get hung up on UI shortcomings are a close approximation to the types of people we wouldn't want as members, anyway.
This was written by consumers, for consumers. I come to HN for things written by producers, for producers.
It's a nice story of the divide between the modernist Beijing/Shanghai types and the rest of the country (which makes up a huge proportion of the country).

I wonder though, where do the Groupon type things really sit? They're kind of more representative now of the Shanzhai culture, the way in which so many clones have sprung up - and also people are making huge money with them too, focusing on regional and 'the masses'.

Interesting.
I apologize if I seem harsh in my comments regarding this subject.

The practical applications will be abused. There are already projects by the CIA and NSA to massively monitor various communications platforms. The datamining isn't of only illegal activities, it's datamining of everything.

It's just not as simple as "datamine illegal online activities". You're basically going to have to monitor everyone using bitcoin, and then monitor all of silkroad, but once the users catch wind of surveillance they'll abandon it and move elsewhere and now you might as well monitor freaking everything to catch them.

You should check out the idea of a panopticon and Michael Foucalt's writing on it. Helping to create this project furthers the idea of a panopticon and that's a scary thing. The panopticon is a building that forces people in it to behave by having complete transparency. If you're watched all the time, you're less likely to do something illegal or morally wrong. Maybe that's a bit too philosophical for this discussion... http://cartome.org/foucault.htm
Radial menus have been around for a while. Path have done it very well though. It would be somewhat unwise to have your whole business model based on a menu animation.

I wouldn't have found out about Path without this post, so I imagine that Path are happy about the publicity. It looks like a cool app.
Raising a base to a power is a prescription for how many times to multiply by the base. If you first raise it to one exponent, m say, then to another exponent, n say, and then multiply, you have first multiplied by the base m times, then multiplied by the same base a further n times. In total you have multiplied by the base m + n times.

Back in those days they would have used slide rules and understood logarithms very well (which they used for multiplication by adding logarithms, essentially). So they may have just answered that to multiply values is to add their logarithms and exponentiate. If the logarithm is taken to the common base, the logarithms are given by the respective exponents.

Figuring out the most electable Republican candidate using Intrade
I'd be surprised if they do more than mention that epsilon-delta stuff exists. Most AP calc classes have very little epsilon-delta work. We spent maybe two or three days on it in mine, certainly not enough time to write a full proof, and that was more than most people I've talked to who did it at different high schools. If my experience is at all representative, that rigorous of a development of calculus isn't normal until upper-level classes, when you're heading towards analysis.
Don't take it wrong. It probably just means that the author was nice enough to make it and give it for free and if you have a problem, try to fix it instead of acting like an entitled asshole and demanding X feature or bug fix for code you didn't contribute to and are using for free.

There are a ton of people who like to bitch at open source developers about not including or fixing something and for projects like this tht isn't cool. This is just a guy showing off some cool thing he did. If you want to use it, have at it! Make it better? Contribute! Have a complaint? Go fuck yourself.

It's not meant for people who have constructive criticism or are just discussing the merits of the code or technique like us.
The Techcrunch Embargo
The problem is the outsourcing model, not nationality. You could outsource to a company of great programmers in Romania or France and still have the same problems of being overbilled for hours and lacking clarity of product vision. You could hire those same programmers directly and move them into your office and have a better chance of overcoming those problems. Heck, you face similar problems with law and PR firms in your own city. The problem is in thinking the hourly savings are worth dealing with overbilling and poor vision sync.. The more complex and dynamic the project, the more worth it to go with in house development.

The author here, great conversation, gang.

To be clear, I don't mean to dump on India specifically, but rather offer up a narrative that counters the notion of overseas talent being an insurmountable threat. This missive applies equally well to any offshore outsourcing, but I agree that generality gets lost. andrewfelix's suggested title "Why I Will Never Feel Threatened by Bad Programmers" is good but doesn't quite hit it: "Why I Will Never Feel Threatened by Outsourced Programmers" perhaps captures my intended message the best.

This is about insights I've gained from "coming late to the party": projects that first went for implementation overseas, and which I subsequently got to clean up or improve upon. Much like many of you are saying, I found it refreshing [within the context of the "threat" of outsourcing] to experience that programming talent is indeed the primary factor in winning development jobs, with solid communication ability (aided by proximity) a close second.

I don't know that everyone has the benefit of that realization born of seeing firsthand how several such projects turn out (I didn't--out of school in '03 a popular narrative was that programming jobs are vanishing and there's nothing you can do about it). Calling out the myth of cheap overseas programming I reckon can be useful to both programmers (encouragement) and decision makers (insightful warning).

I went through a similar exercise last week.

I'm trying to leave the place I'm working, and I'm mostly concentrating on places that are a little above my weight class (because if I'm going to try and get a new job, I don't want to go work at the half-dozen places that do the exact same level of work that I do. I've had a few jobs not pan out, so I wanted to take a step back and rethink things)

So I started an Omni-Focus project, which I called Me 2.0 (although I could have used any of the myriad project-tracking applications, or just a text editor)

In it I started trying to list all the things I wanted to learn. I noticed when I finished that it was predominantly a list of books to read (many of which have exercises that I want to make sure I go through and actually complete).

I noticed that some of them have dependencies on other ones (so I linked those tasks) but others I can start working on in parallel. We'll see how well I can stick to it.

Just writing it all out was a helpful exercise though. There's something freeing about having specific tasks, and not just nebulous concepts.

I moved from a Nexus One to a Galaxy Nexus and I'm with you on the hardware design and build. I like the GN better than other Samsung phones I've handled, but it is definitely nothing at all like the iPhone, and to be honest not even as solid feeling as the HTC-built N1 was. (The N1 was fairly ugly in my opinion, but it felt good in hand.)

Is it too much to ask for gadgets that feel as good to hold and use, in terms of the tactile quality, as my 1970's-era Canon SLR? The iPhone's pretty much there but nothing else (outside of ultra-high-end audio gear and cameras) even comes close.

As a product manager for the last 6 years, I've had the opportunity to work for outsourced teams in India, Romania, and Ukraine. I've become really good at managing remote teams, and it can work out really really well. What I write below is based on single data points in each country...

India: I didn't like working with the Indian team. They had the tendency to be overly literal and "by the book" - the book being whatever tech stack they knew. They wouldn't ask questions or push back on things, and the result was crap.

Romanian and Ukrainian teams: did / doing an excellent job. We were able to get them at $40-50 an hour, and they are every bit as good and productive as local teams. I sometimes feel like I like working with outsourced teams better than local teams, because the relationship is straight-up business. I have to make sure that everything I ask for is really strong and really helps the business because I'm very aware of the costs involved.

Having said that, it is important to have a couple things: have someone local who can look over the code and be a man on the inside, to make sure everything a PM can't see is to the standard, having a good project manager of the remote team, and have someone who manages the whole thing who knows how to do it.

Being involved with plugins (not jQuery) I've struggled with working out the best way to curate quality.

User ratings? Self-certification? iTunes-style pay + review? Combination of all of the above?

Certifying code quality (whether free or paid) is a tough thing to do, yet it's going to be massively important going forwards. I'm keen to here of how the new jQuery plugin site plans to tackle this.
you can still have junk facebook accounts, the sign up process is slightly longer than hotmail's, but not by much. I still have around 15 junk facebook accounts or so... I only remember the passwords for about 3 of them.
I wouldn't call emailing bloggers about reviewing your product (given that that's what many of them try to do) something a self respecting person should be reluctant to do. I assume that's what you're referring to with Balsamiq? That's the right way to do it - get the press to give your product some attention because it's really good! Putting up flyers in public places is also fine.

It becomes spamming when you insert an ad for your stuff in a personal place like on the windshield of someone's car, or in someone's twitter client's @ inbox, unless you think it's something they'll legitimately want to hear because they need help that you can offer (this is rare). Predatory customer acquisition from your competitors via spamming is well on the other side of the line. Combined with this reaction site which uses tactics that would be at home in a political smear campaign, and I'm fairly certain that this is a company I don't want to ever do business with.
So essentially, you learn by failing? that used to get you killed in the caveman age, and these days, that tends to get you fired.

These are the sorts of things that you have to learn via 2nd hand experience i reckon.

Agreed.

Based on lots of experience dealing with off-shore developers, the problem has always been communication.

Once a company figures out how to properly communicate the right level of detail, outsourcing becomes a significant force.

The opportunity gap of $15/hr versus $50/hr is too great to ignore.
I'd feel more threatened by incompetent management and by manegement that sees workers as replaceable things. The bottom of the barrell programmers that are hired could be much better if there were training programs and they wouldn't be undercutting everyone's salary/wages because they'd be more educated and see that workers deserve more payment for their work.
You'll still need to figure out how to spec your project.

Otherwise in your next iteration you'll still have an inefficient poorly coded app, only you would have spent 3X times more money getting there.
7-8 for sure. Anything less for a sustained period of time and I lose a ton of productivity.

(Just to explain the "Indian Cowboy" thing:

"Cowboy" is a term a developer often uses to describe someone who develops something without thinking it through properly, often fails to test, and ignores the consequences.

It's often used like this: "He's a real cowboy - he wrote a SQL query that he tested on his own machine and then deleted data when he deployed it to production".

You are correct - it is an insulting term in this context.)
Re: coming late to the party, have you considered that maybe you are suffering from some kind of reverse-surviver bias? In other words, that you only get brought on to failed outsource projects. If the outsource project works well then you don't see it.
Agreed. I like to think they do it just so people aren't totally pre-occupied (listening to music, playing games, watching movies, etc.) during what is almost certainly the most likely period for incidents to occur.

I'd recommend that if you need a nap midday, then nap midday.

I generally wake up around the same time in the morning, regardless of what time I went to bed. This can sometimes lead to me feeling very sleepy midday, which kills my productivity. Coffee can sometimes help, but sometimes it just makes my head even more cloudy. If I'm in a position to do so (if I'm in a location where I can lie down and I don't have a meeting soon), I generally take a short nap (~45 minutes). This brings my productivity back to normal in most cases.
I'd usually sleep 6 to 9 hours, but our newborn baby is keeping me up at the moment, so it's more like 5 hours. Result: instant illness :(

Overall, I feel great through the day when I get 9 hours straight (rare); with 6, I wake up very productive (adrenaline is pumping!), but I'll inevitably crash in the afternoon. Any value in between, I'll need caffeine to wake up; my body works on 3-hours cycles.
Quite frankly, I'm shocked this was published anywhere. What sort of a distribution would they have expected? A normal distribution where the average filesize was 5GB? And to then infer that this has to do with mental constraints... this will be a laugh with my colleagues.

SEO Tip: Make A Gold Bust Of Your Customers Every Month
I hope this isn't dumb but what does "s/Webkit/moz" mean? To answer the poster above you, it would work by adding "-moz-propertyname" not removing the "-webkit" stuff. Each browser will ignore the proprietary prefix that doesn't apply to them and then apply the CSS to any style that is prefixed for them or the official implementation. So you can put prefixes for all vendors in your rules and the browser will choose the one that applies while safely ignoring the rest. Just make sure to add the "official" non-prefixed version last so that future browsers or those who implement the spec completely today can render the final version of their implementation of the specific CSS style instead of the half baked proprietary one.

I'd add that vendor prefixes are one of the best reasons to use LESS (or SASS or SCSS, I just prefer LESS). Write one mixin (6 lines of code if you line break between each property) and you've just saved yourself countless keystrokes.
Online Learning, Personalized
Estimate that ~half to ~one third of your time is actual billable time. The rest is finding clients / business junk / expenses. So $50/hr is unsustainably low as a freelancer in the USA.

As a salaried position, it's plenty of course...
That's a very insightful perspective, but I'm campaigning in the opposite direction. What I think you're implying is that GM was complacent, didn't feel threatened, scoffed at the notion, and thus has been over taken.

My thought is that to a large part we've ALREADY been sold on the idea that we can't compete, so we shouldn't even try--that outsourcing is here to stay, and programmers in other countries will have no trouble out competing us. I'm proposing that we don't believe the hype, that we can compete effectively.

It's a rallying cry against complacency.
Cool, thanks for the additional example.

Cowboy coding should have been super obvious to me, lol.
its not quite that bad really. unless you are scaling amazingly fast, like say twitter did, usually you get site slowness that you can troubleshoot and fix, not a completely busted website.
my suggestion is to read some books/websites on the subject, and make sure you architect early to accomodate scaling later.

> the Indian team. They had the tendency to be overly literal and "by the book"

My anecdote: We had a spec for a financial business application. Two of the database fields were last-changed-username and last-changed-timestamp. The document mistakenly had them populated backwards, specifying that the current user's name should be populated into last-changed-timestamp and vice versa. You can guess what happened when the Indian outsourcee coded it.

"I ran this and got a type conversion error. Did you even test it?"

"Yes, I got the same error and that is what should have happened based on the spec."

"How did you test the rest of it, then?"

"I was unable to proceed because of that error."

(I'm not generalizing from this one programmer to all Indians. I'm sure programmers that dumb exist everywhere.)
