eighteyes··on Ask HN: Why am I always stuck working on legacy software
I mean Oracle man, people don't use enterprise software if they're into the cutting edge. they're into cya and vesting. your stay-here option is to apply a new stack to a business problem, make that case to your boss as something to work on, and see if they say yes.

feeling like overwork is the norm to have a career? you should start or join a startup! that's a recipe for burnout and an early grave.

eighteyes··on Crowdfunding justice: "Crackstarter" campaign to out Toronto mayor
Gawker shouldn't be asking the public to fund their existing enterprise. If they have $200k, they should pony up, because obviously they think it's worth that much. I'm tired of seeing crowd-funding being used to push projects by people and businesses who already have enough money to get it off the ground, just don't want to spend, or borrow it.
