javiayalaon Teacher builds $50M a year business with learning materials

I'm one of those lucky software engineers in the Bay Area that happens to be married to a teacher and I can 100% confirm that they are real hustlers at what they do. Every time I get home after a hard day of work and listen to what her day was like it humbles me and makes me really appreciate the awesome job that teachers do in our society. She is always super tired but super happy and satisfied at the same time.

javiayalaon Yahoo SEC Filing: Name change to Altaba Inc and director resignations

I want to echo on your message and also to thank you for contributing with a positive comment and not with a harsh one like most people often do.

I remember a few years ago when some of the stuff that Marissa was doing to reshape Yahoo's internal structure were being looked with good eyes and were being replicated in other companies (Bringing in remote people, focusing on some products, etc.) I guess we can all agree that in the end she didn't do the best job but maybe no one else could've done it differently. No way to know now.

javiayalaon The Real Reason Why U.S. Startups Produce in China (Hint: It's Not the Cost)

As someone who has experienced a similar process through a relative of mine, is really interesting to hear a detailed story that not only talks about the process but also about the feeling of manufacturing outside of your home country. Finding the company that fit your product and your quality standards is extremely time consuming but once that serendipity happens you start feeling the snowball effect of the next items in the list. It really is all about finding the right match for your product.

I wonder if the Kaizen philosophy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen) applies for Chinese people as well. Can someone comment on this?

Not to mention that by the time that twitter needed to scale rails the framework itself was very different and a little less powerfull. That goes to ruby as well.

javiayalaon Show HN: Furatto, a flat and sleek CSS framework

I think is good enough. There are a lot of framework with fat fonts. It's kind of refreshing to see something else once in a while.

javiayalaon Show HN: Furatto, a flat and sleek CSS framework

I don't know if it's part of your philosophy but I think that adding more javascript tricks and libraries could add some value to your framework. Good job though.

I love the flat font. I think I could use this framework for a couple of my prototypes.
