Looks super handy, thank you!

Really enjoying this, thanks for sharing!

I had the exact same thought.

These are great resources, thanks for sharing!

Adorable. Interesting that mindstorms didn’t take while Python did.

I’d kind of assume the opposite, since MS is more tangible and easier to visualize.

This is sweet, looking forward to playing around with this!

I hope other social media companies follow suit. As someone who tries to stay off social media as much as possible, I find those login walls really annoying.

On the flip side, they help keep me more fully off of those sites..

Good post.

Instead, choose to be bad at something.

This is so critical for making things. “What am I not doing?” Is almost as important as the positive version of the question.

Django is really excellent. A bit of overhead if you’re coming from flask but it makes things so smooth.

Like (almost) everything else they make, I want it, have no need for it, and can’t afford it.

Some of the pocket stuff is pretty affordable though.

If you're asking this question, you may already have an answer.

I do think people tend to slightly overstate the learnings that you can get in a startup, and vice versa.

After 1 year, you're ok to leave at this point though a little longer is probably more ideal.

Cool. Might try this for creating some assets in the future.

Did not realize 'tabus' was the plural of taboo. Anyone else?

Wow, this was tough (but fun). BTW it looks like there's an error on the help text for the opacity question:

"The correct answer is B. In case you're curious, B has a border radius of 5px, C is 15px, and D is 7px." should likely be something about opacity.

Perhaps something like “hunger” might be a better term

The age old question, to bootcamp or bootstrap?

Note - clipped the original title a bit to fit HN guidelines.

This guy startups.

Reminds me of another fabulous author, Nabokov, with similar fascinations, but for butterflies. [1]

There is something so exhilarating to me about these polyglots who can produce some of the best literature in the last 200 years whilst also finding time for scientific work.

Author here! I spent years lurking on HN before I took the plunge and decided to learn to code. I think this moment could be a great chance for those affected by layoffs to do similarly.

Author here, thought I'd share my experience with 'blackboxes' one might encounter as they're getting started on their hacker journey. Would love any feedback from the HN community!

I spoke with a recruiter who works for a VC firm and hires for many of their portfolio companies yesterday. She mentioned the difficulty here, but framed it as a reasonable + manageable lift a company would make for a sufficiently senior hire. EG Director+, sure, for a single junior sales or CS role, maybe not so much. Don't think there was anything she took issue with here aside from a little extra logistics work.

Anyone know how he did it? I can see dummy commits like this, automated somehow: https://github.com/IonicaBizau/addy-graph-hack/commits?autho...

what verticals are these sites in?

Congrats guys! Really nice people + great engineering team.

amen. take my data, take my liberty, but you'll never take my healthy self doubt of your true motives.

These are great suggestions. Also comforting to know that I'm not the only one who needs to go through these slowly.

Since you've been so selective with books, what do you recommend?

I have a nook (needed a reader and couldn't wait for amazon shipping. Retail's not dead!). I'll load up pdfs/ebooks to it and read them when I'm commuting. It's pretty convenient but I do often wish I had a real textbook for really heavy stuff, though probably don't want to either lug that around or even read it on a commute.

I'd be down to at least grab a drink, is there a non creepy way to get in touch from hn?
