bnjs··on You cannot have more than 10 years of experience in Rails
But isn't the whole premise of the article that you're an idiot if you say things about languages/frameworks that aren't accurate?
bnjs··on Ask HN: How can I remedy scatter brain and information overload?
This is a real problem that many people experience and it's only getting bigger. I'm developing a solution for myself and soon opening it to others. You can get in touch with me on Twitter (@bnjs) if you're interested in joining a closed beta.
bnjs··on South Korea to raise $500B for unification
> You can be sure North and South will one day unify.

How can we be sure? We know countries unify and we also know that countries split never to be unified again.

bnjs··on Always bet on text
Some stuff is good for stuff. Other stuff is good for other stuff. :)
bnjs··on How to Start a Startup: Fall 2014

bnjs··on The Apple Watch
Of course I always have my phone!
bnjs··on The Apple Watch
I run and this is fine with me. I don't go anywhere without my phone anyway, and I imagine GPS on the Watch would mean shorter battery life or bigger battery/watch.
bnjs··on Show HN: My first app – The minimalist distance-based transit alarm
It looks cool! Well done! :)

As others have commented, in my opinion Windows Phone will have a negligible influence on the mobile market going forward. I think it would be a much better investment of your time to start developing on either iOS/Android (or both!) as early as possible.

Good luck!

bnjs··on Show HN: A free invoice generator
Application: looks good! Domain name: sucks. I would go with a much shorter name on a different TLD. e.g. 1invoice.co
bnjs··on Inside the Russian Short Wave Radio Enigma (2011)
I hope it's not the command and control signals to a Russian fail-deadly nuclear deterrent system.
bnjs··on Hightower Raises $6.5M Series A for its Commercial Real Estate Platform
Well, you obviously don't care, but who cares about you? How many towers do you own? Me thinks you are not their target customer...
bnjs··on Transcript: Paul Graham in Conversation with Nathan Blecharczyk
It's possible to make the case that there's a difference between crazy ideas and terrible ideas.
bnjs··on Ask HN: Is it just me or why does Docker suck so much?
`run` creates a container from an image and tries to start it. If it doesn't start you have a stopped container in `docker ps -a`. If it does start, you have a started container in `docker ps`. You could stop a started container if you wanted, and later start it again without having to use `run` all over again.

Sometimes running fails to start the container because there's a problem. You'll then have a stopped container.

Walking the walk and talking the talk aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.
