Shane325··on Numbers from my recent job hunt
Yes. If you can chat with someone face-to-face you’re already miles ahead of an online application. I wouldn’t even say you need to have a solid network. I just reached out to people on LinkedIn (some of whom I didn’t know).
Shane325··on Numbers from my recent job hunt
7 from referrals. 2 interviews from networking events, and 1 from an inbound email (which turned into an offer).

High-Performance Browser Networking: https://hpbn.co/
Shane325··on Repl.it raises $4.5M from A16Z, Paul Graham, and others
Interesting indeed. Definitely weeds out applicants who are not familiar with the command line.
Shane325··on TinySeed – A Startup Accelerator Designed for Bootstrappers
This is a great idea. The initial runway to get a product off the ground is a huge hurdle for every start up. I've personally been doing lots of contract and side work to fund my start up and it's a big distraction. Any one have any idea when Tiny Seed applications open?
Shane325··on YC Summer 2017 Invites/Rejections
Congrats! Good luck in the interview.
Shane325··on Ask HN: What are the best resources to create an LLC/Incorporate?
I used https://www.vcorpservices.com/ to form an S Corp and found them to be very good.
Shane325··on Ask HN: What did you pay for firstnamelastname.com
I reached out to the owner of my name.com and we agreed on $100. He wanted $4000 but when he realized that I just wanted to host a personal site he was happy taking $100.
