> why can't I work 20 hours as a programmer, and 20 hours as a tree-planter, or teaching rock climbing to high school kids, for maybe 55% of a programmer's salary?

I would gladly give up 20% of my salary to take Fridays off entirely.
I think everyone is complaining a bit too much. I'm trying to find an internship, (read "begging companies to let me work over 40 hours a week for them free of charge.") and have had absolutely no luck.

You're making a living, right? So what's a few extra hours per day?
Nope. I think it will be late in the day...around 9-10pm. That's what I read in one blog. Anyway I would probably find out when I get to work tomorrow morning as I have no internet at home.
You and Aziz Ansari.
IMO, customer service starts well before the product has been purchased.

Amazon might make some double sales (the fake, then the original once a mistake has been realised), but in the long run I think this damages their reputation somewhat.
We just heard back (4pm PDT) -- no interview for us. Was to be expected, especially as we only heard about YC two weeks before the application was due. Best of luck to everyone else!
I have millions of ideas. Ideas are nothing - delivery is everything. I am unable to deliver anything.
It's called a "bacon and eggs partnership". Microsoft is the chicken, Nokia is the pig.
Same. I think about that too often.

The thing is, not everyone got the time to wade through the mass of JS frameworks available today. The intention of TodoMVC is to give you a taste of each framework, which can help you narrow it down. You can think of it as speeddating JS frameworks. It's by no means perfect and I agree that it should not be your only source, but it's a lot better than just trying out the most popular one and using that.

If you have a decent-length metro commute to work, you could move a couple documents that you wanted to look over into your dropbox folder from your computer at home and open them up from your phone on your way in or during a lunch break.
I agree. She raises some interesting questions, but aside from the fact that Marc Andreessen is both a board member at Facebook and an investor in Instagram, there's very little information here.

On the other hand, there are signs that Donna Kline is a crank:

- list of previous posts shows that she's got an axe to grind against Facebook
- repeated use of the phrase "Meep. Meep."
- repeated invitations to the reader to fill in details for which she has no evidence
If Google wanted to block Rapportive they could have just done it with code trivially.

It just didn't bother Google enough for them to do it.
Well we enjoy the effects of the "social" engine of grouth in Spain now a days(among the other problems as a construction bubble, etc..)
Basically you have people trying all sort of tricks to recieve a salary from the government just because they deserve it. That way they don't have to work anymore. People tend to look at this as a right and the ones who go and earn their money with their effort are regarded as "dumb", after all it makes no sense to work if you don't need to. Maybe this is a cultural thing, but I find dangerouse to reinforce people in receiving money with out contributing with their job.
Microsoft makes Windows 8 official, will have four editions
I saw only two comments regarding "more" or "better" tests. One that seemed like a sarcastic low-blow ("I’m glad to see 37signals post from last week about their minimal approach to testing is keeping the new hires busy and up late at night tracking down bugs"), and the other being "Alice" who quickly got labeled a troll.

Seems like both you and DHH are putting words in people's mouths.

I think this argument hits it on the nose. Almost all of the offenses stem from ignorance, not malice. Almost all of the offenders would change their behavior if they were aware of the impact it had.
