lllllllon Salary negotiations for techies (2011)

it means you've done at least a little research on what they should be expected to pay and you see somewhere around that range as acceptable. You don't have to tell them that you've researched their rates and find them acceptable

If you find your research is repeatedly off the mark, find better sources.

I'd be very much interested in what are you sources/methodology to carry out this research. I mean, if the company you are applying to is big and well-known ( and listed in glassdoor, angel list, etc), I may have a chance to figure out the rates. However even in the case of known companies, I often cannot find the salary information and instead I'm left with the classic competitive pay/salary/compensation.

Finding out these rates for each company is even harder if you want to be hired as a contractor.

lllllllon Ask HN: Screencasts of skilled developers?

Great thread! Being more of a backend coder rather than frontend, I lately started consolidating my frontend skills with new projects. Very SASS focused ( I love it!).

These channels gave me some really nice ideas, I recommend to have a look at them!

lllllllon Ask HN: How do you manage/organize information and knowledge in your life?

I second this, Trello totally decreased my overinformation-induced uneasiness, and happened to help me summarize information. Of course not all kinds of information fit there. I found out it's great particularly for information I want to be in contact with quite often.

Also Trello Inc's public development board(https://trello.com/b/nC8QJJoZ/trello-development) is just genius, imo.
