...and from the other side Y Combinator partners will receive 100 beer bottles for free :D Not that bad

Reading this article I thought about two things:

1) This guy is a real entrepreneur. He made a deal. I am thrilled! Congratulations! :) Reminds me of the book from Donald Trump about the deals.

2) Y Combinator partners are undoubtly clever people and they can't afford themselves to apply each pitch or idea and you should look for a hack to stay out of the overall group to be noticed and given a chance to win or fail.

I just started learning more about WebRTC and it looks like an interesting foundation for numerous startups. New technology among others to help solving specific tasks.

Here in Ukraine people write their PhD thesis and work in IT industry because scientist salary is extra low (300$) and average salary in industry is about 1500$+

I found the same situation with PhD status as this article highlights. Degree means nothing here. Really nothing. The only thing which matters are results of your work. PhD should be better in analysis, problem solving etc.

I believe yes.

- programmers create new open source libraries for Go; - language got 1.0 version so it can be considered by enterprises for production; - programmers write articles about it so we have some buzz around it; - community grows with a set of books about Go.

So I think the overall popularity will grow.

It would be nice for Golang site to have some section about "companies using Go...".

Thanks! It looks interesting.

Thanks for reply! I am big fan of YC so this was really interesting question for me :) I believe workspace design is very important for great results and looking at YC backed-startups I was wondering which desk (and not only desk) are you using.

I'll definitely enter YC with some of my ideas at least ready as initial prototype (writing this using the moment). I hope I will like it so to make something similar in future to save this state of startup-spirit.

Totally agree!

I am reading this book now and will send a commit with typo fixes when finish.

Even after Effective Go and gotour I found a lot of useful information in this book. Thanks the author for his work! :)

I think these examples show us how much have internet technologies changed and improved.

Thanks for comment. I think this is really not so rare nowadays.

Strange startup to hire creative people to do "just what we say" without interest to hear fresh ideas, point of view...

One my friend who launched startups said how important it is to encourage people to express new ideas and support making a great product.

I have submitted but found that people I started with aren't so interested in something other than just work. So I am one of those submitting as a 1 man behind the project.

So I decided to work alone for now.

Simplify -> Amplify was really great to improve my project.

They have millions of companies posting twitter messages and they provide analytics and other tools for businesses. I think they need a lot of people at call centers, support department etc.

All we see as users is 140 characters + apps https://twitter.com/#!/download as there is nothing to ask about :)

Look at http://business.twitter.com/ they have more than just 140 characters.

It is better for company to have people of both types.

Depending on situation we can show ourselves as introvert or extravert. :) People thought I was more extravert as I successfully worked with people but according to tests I am more introvert.

People can change and show those points of their character which are useful for current situation.

Great article. It is really important to learn to delegate.

The other side is making great team where people share common interest to make great/best product or service.

I read it and remembered the situation when I got division and delegated work to other people. It was a great experience and lesson.

P.S. Good lecture pointing about similar problem can be found here named "Managing people, managing teams": http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/building-a-business/id38...

I think they need not so many programmers but staff for call-centers, marketing, R&D etc.

LaTeX is easy to read. I want to write a little story from my life as an example.

While I was working at one firm I got own department. I wrote LaTeX class for them to support corporate style. After 1-2 weeks they noticed it was the same if not better than MS Word for documentation.

In case someone will start to learn Go reading this article open http://weekly.golang.org

I had to figure it out on IRC chat as "go get" to install gotour and other packages is only available in Go weekly builds.

For plain registration you can use Django's functionality without installing any additional apps. There is good documentation.

Login via Facebook uses OAuth 2.0 which can be easily implemented with 20-30 lines of code.
