This is awesome, well done!

I just wanted to chime in and say I like your approach of just focusing on pull requests. There's another app I know of that just focuses on creating issues (http://issuepostapp.com).

I happen to be the author of another GitHub Issues client (http://neat.io/bee/github-issues-client.html) which is aimed at the other end of the spectrum: to be full-featured.

Great to see all these different approaches for different workflows.
I'm an italian 36 years old computer engineer...i understand your complaints and agree with you quite on every thing you said but you don't need to go away (even if it wouldn't be a bad idea at all). Three years ago, after working as an employee (my skills regarded most j2ee) i started working as a freelance: i grew my skills (now android, iOS, a lot of web-related technologies and languages) knew a lot of people, solved a lot of different clients needs through my skills. if you want you can freelance and you will be able to improve yourself and live a bettere life even if you live here in italy, even if we have unacceptable tax levels and burocracy.

Django's all grown up! I'm pretty psyched about this release. Obviously, the long-awaited migrations functionality is the centerpiece, but for a framework without that many rough edges, they do such a great job of finding the ones that remain and terminating them. Looking forward to the end of magical models.py behavior; to stronger support for apps; easier to use custom QuerySets and reverse relation Managers; and Lookups, Transforms, and custom prefetching in the ORM. This is looking like the most exciting release since 1.4 for tightening up the core of the framework.

Anybody have any insight into what's next?

Presumably you're an EU citizen. Move to Berlin, London, Dublin, Warsaw, and pick up from there. If your English needs work, work on it. Build your own projects.

I moved from California to Dublin and the startup scene is really good here. You have options.
Who is EA? Nothing rings a bell--except for "Elephant Ass."
Yes, but that cat is well and truly out of that bag, so (for me, personally) it's time to take as many precautions as I can. One of those is being very careful around Google services. I've since replaced my use of all of them (thank you ownCloud, and DAV!). I've got far fewer consequences to worry about than other people, but for me the trade off is worth it.
Unfortunately, I had first hand experience on this one, at least for me he isn't wrong. There was a family incident which required a substantial amount of my attention, I'd lost two weeks, and my boss required I make that up.

I went to working from 40 a week to 60. The thing is, I already had trouble pacing myself. I tend to work fast and burn out fast, so 40 hours a week was already a little more work than I am capable of, but those extra 20... The only way I could even perform those extra hours was by extending my breaks and doing less work.

Now that I've paid the debt, the way I perceive my workplace has altered. I'm having serious serious serious problems doing any work at all now. I can't get it out of my head, I know I've got an insanely huge block of time ahead of me that I just can't cope with, even if there's some rushed context.

> To say some more good things about Stripe, they have launched in a few places internationally, and we are still US only. We can accept foreign credit cards, but merchants need to be in the US. Hoping to fix that, regulations are hard.

It is not a free service. You pay for it with your personal information. It is up to you whether you find the price too high. And with the Google+ integration, the price for using Google services is definitely on the rise.
Some LGBT rights organisations rank companies by how LGB and/or T friendly the organisation is to companies. Large tech companies often come out quite good.

No it didn't, it might have been created when you joined something that required it and there was a check mark somewhere, it gets populated by stuff that you added when you started Google account like date of birth etc, but you get presented with that as well.

This app will do wonders for my team. Thanks a lot. This is great.
AFAIK it's required by the new terms that you give your real name. And to do much of anything you need to verify your account with an SMS to a previously unused cell phone number.
There are better ways to discover whether a feature is wanted than hacking up a test version and seeing if the users use it. The idea is to test whether people want it before that stage. You can ask them, but often they'll say yes regardless because things often sound great. On the most basic level, adding a UI element that responds with nothing more than a "Coming soon!" message and measuring if anyone clicks it works brilliantly.

What a nice way to plug in some generalizing, offensive, misandric comments.
That... is not what we're talking about.

With all respect, I don't use Googles services anymore myself, but your posts in this thread have been as... partisan, for lack of a better term, as the person you claim is a "Google employee". You're just on different sides of that.
Nice idea, I like it.

It's extremely hard to hide or change the past. It was hard before the internet, and has become effectively impossible now. It is almost irrational to expect to transition to a new life and an entire legacy of breadcrumbs will disappear, especially while trying to hold onto some parts of that prior life.

Well it might soon be legally required in the EU. Wanna do business here? Make it possible.
My understanding, as an outsider, was that the birth of node went like this:

"Evented, async, processing is faster than threads in many cases. What if you had a platform/language that you could only do async IO in? Well we could take an existing language and replace the IO layer, or we could just take javascript that has no-IO layer and add it in. Thus in node it's impossible to write blocking code. (Let me knoe if I'm wrong on that last bit)."

Then it went from interesting experiment to useful, and thus to popular very quickly. Either because V8 is so very fast, or because lots of people know and like javascript, or because callbacks are not that bad :-). Not sure which.

This isn't even about your own perceived "real name". If I have a relationship with a company and they know my real name I expect them not to leak it to the world. Period. My business is with them and that's about it.

When you initially signed up with GMail you signed up for an e-mail address, not a public directory that links your e-mail address to your real name.

When you signed up to YouTube, you signed up providing a pseudonym. The implicit assumption is that your pseudonym is used to identify yourself to other users of the same service. You did not expect your comments, your videos and interactions to be linked to your real name.

The same principle applied to virtually every Google service.

Google broke that trust with a series of glaring mistakes.

I honestly lost any ounce of trust I ever had in Google.

I have no fucking idea what they have done with my real name.

Every day there is a possibility that Google has come up with yet another obscure shit service that decides to integrate itself with a user's main account and trumpet real life information to the world without the user's consent.
Yes I've created an account to be able to participate in this discussion, and incremented the username by 1 as it gets rate limited.

But your statement is false, I have 2 Google accounts one with G+ the other without, and I use gmail, drive etc on both.

That's basically what happened in my religious youth group in high school. I ended up "Executive Vice President", which basically amounted to being "One of the three people who actually shows up to every single meeting and goes to the retreats", because when we actually held elections, suddenly another four people show up and vote themselves the leadership positions.

And they were never seen again.

They don't have to integrate all those services. Look at Mozilla Persona. Eroding privacy has a much bigger cost than the one Google extracts fom the information. And it's not like we can choose to avoid androids, samsungs and iPhones...
The author's name definitely rings a bell. I can't recall the details, but I am pretty sure she has been associated with quite a few articles like this on HN in the past, most of which were horribly written and turned out to be largely false or exaggerated. Does anybody still have a link for one of them?
Didn't introduction of omnibars in browsers killed that trend? The second time such an user tries to type in "gmail" into their browser, they'll get a gmail.com completion, not a search query.
The whole "and should end" thing always makes me laugh. Oh, we just determined that violating the constitutional limitations on government is against the constitution, so we're going to stop violating the constitution, now.

None of these idiots thought they were doing anything but violating the law for the past several decades. They just didn't care. And they still don't. And they won't. This big display right now is nothing but that - a display. At most, they'll throw out some "oh, gosh, we will put in regulations or stop it all together"... while they continue to do exactly as they please behind the scenes.

There is no return from this. It is done.

Half of your citations are Gawker. Do you work for them or something? Why would you link to Internet equivalent of the trashiest British tabloid?
The easiest short-term solution is to work for or intern with a great company in Europe for a while, most likely in London. Your best options are a brand name tech company - Google, Palantir, Microsoft, etc. - well connected start-up - Spotify, GoCardless, Transferwise, etc. - or a technology-driven hedge fund. If you are a really good programmer there will be plenty of people happy to hire you. We have a real shortage of tech talent here. You can always transfer to the US later or get hired at a US company happy to sponsor a visa based on those credentials.

It might be worth talking to some good tech recruiters in London. Depends a bit on your background and how much of your university course you have left.

Thanks for taking the ISP POV for one second.

Keep in mind that generating traffic is nowadays really easy.

For 50k$, you can buy 50 servers with 2x10Gb cards, and generate a constant 1 terabit per second of video streaming data. No monthly fee besides electric bill.

So the "content" provider offers the ISP to host 50 of its cache servers and now the ISP has 1 more terabit of data to distribute over its whole network.

Anyone sees the flaw here ?

Italian here as well, graduated few months ago from a MsC., I feel your pain.
Was for a full year in USA for an internship, I can say that it has changed my life, and my view on work.

I refused hundreds of Job offers from Italy (even with a decent salary), to chase something abroad. Now I am happily working at one of the top tech companies, in Dublin.

I had a hard time at university. The italian university are broken, seriously, They focus on a lot of theory and zero to no practice.

My personal advice is, to believe in yourself, develop yourself, study new technologies and skills required by the market, find your perfect 'career' path. You won't find hard finding a really good job in Europe or USA if you have the right skills.

P.S. don't accept ANY of the Italian initial offers, look outside, practice with spoken English and send Resumè's abroad (Don't be scared about the big companies, they need you more than everybody else, and they are hiring like crazy.)

Don't start working in Italy in a typical "consultancy" job, or you will be stuck forever with a low-wage low-experience job.
No, Switzerland should work fine. It may be a bit more cumbersome than a real EU country, but as far as I know, it is still not that hard to move there (if you already have a job). Nothing compared to the US.
This is the second time your novel account has stepped in here to post defense of Google which amounts to no actual support of the statements you're making.

The fact is that Google have made keeping personal data and private activities among various Google services all but impossible. I had my unrelated G+ and YouTube accounts outed and linked despite repeatedly rejecting the joining of them, in November 2013 (resulting in 3 simultaneous top-o-the-page HN stories at the time).

I'm calling shill or FUD here.

At some point people will just get sick of having a separate social network (with separate, even though maybe synced, friend lists) for every single thing they do. I for one would love if Facebook ate Instagram, Foursquare and Yelp - I'm already sick of using separate apps for something that could benefit from being tightly integrated with FB.
You don't have to go to San Franscisco to get into a startup. There are a lot of them in London and Berlin, and you - as an EU citizen - will have zero issues with the visa there.

Besides, university is not about getting ready for a job: it's about learning how to learn.

this isn't the problem. you can create a google account with whatever name you want, and as long as it looks like a regular name, they will never notice and not care.

the problem is they have different accounts with different names that are linked (android and g+) but the names are leaking through. it is hardly surprising that it is tricky to prevent that from a UX perspective.

this actually has nothing to do with "real names".
Yes, that's what we are talking about. Google forces you to create a G+ account via dark patterns. It's using the market share of its products to push a privacy breaching service.

A fair point, but is there an underlying reason (beyond having the Euro) why those economies are weak?

The point I was trying to make was an economic one - if it is easier to fire a mistake (either for perfomance or business-reasons), then it makes you more likely to hire people.
Nice article, well written!
"It takes anything between $2000 to $7000 per month per developer.." similar are the amounts also for countries in eastern Europe, like Greece.
You're an EU citizen. You shouldn't have a problem getting work in Berlin or London.

There is a ton of work in the UK at the moment, not just in London but also up in Manchester and Leeds. Plenty of people will be happy to pay you a decent living wage if you can show you can work hard and know your stuff.

Good luck.

Stripe is great, we're really enjoying using it!

I have three comments though if you're willing to listen!

- I think your customer service department (although they do a good job) the quality has gone down, I often have to now wait several days for a reply. I guess this is the inevitability of growth though. In an ideal world it'd be nice to go back to when I got same day replies :)

- We're a UK business. We take payments in EUR/GBP/USD. Like EUR, it would be nice to be able to withdraw our USD to our USD account in the UK! At the moment we're forced to withdraw it to our GBP account which is expensive.

- It would be nice to be able to hold up withdrawls. At the moment our account is flooded with lots of payments, it would be nice to schedule all payments to be weekly/fornightly or a specific day of the month. Make our accounting process a lot easier and cheaper.

Thanks for all the great work, I've been excited ever since I've started reading about you and am a big fan! (I got a tshirt on the way as well for reporting a small glitch which I'm excited to receive!)

> When you signed up to YouTube, you signed up providing a pseudonym. The implicit assumption is that your pseudonym is used to identify yourself to other users of the same service. You did not expect your comments, your videos and interactions to be linked to your real name.

This point I particularly identify with and it's gotten to the point where I no longer comment on YouTube videos nor leave app reviews on Google Play because I don't want my real name published everywhere on the web.

I can't even begin to identify with the transgender community about the issues Google have willingly created.

I think it's about time the EU (or other governing body) stepped in an mandated that users are entitled to pseudonyms for internet services.
I disagree. American history is full of government actions that were later found unconstitutional and were abandoned and condemned. Think about slavery, women's voting rights, mistreatment of the Japanese during WWII, McCarthyism, segregation and the civil rights movement, and now finally marriage equality. These things unfortunately take longer than a few months to get shut down, but they do stop.
