malditojavi··on Ask HN: My VPS got hacked and now I'm facing a massive bill. What can I do?
Same here, not as big as 4k, but only $200 more. AWS took care in an awesome way.
malditojavi··on The difficulties we face to monetize our open source project
So true, overall #2. There is room of improving the conversion rate. Also what's a 'non white label' hosting but with a custom domain?

malditojavi··on Twitter Announces Its First Commerce Product – A “Buy” Button On Mobile
Thanks for pointing it out. I just added Gumroad, Stripe because they are well-known here in the HN community, and I though it was interesting to know (even if you don't read the whole article).

Sorry to interrupt the party, but LookBook was already doing it at least 3 years ago - that I remember: http://lookbook.nu/look/6605676-Sheinside-Bet-Printed-Choies...

It's me or passive income posts in HN flourish on weekends?
malditojavi··on Uber's playbook for sabotaging Lyft
Uber paying a 3-figure for getting new drivers? Not a sabotage for me, but a big bet on user acquisition with a referral system.
malditojavi··on Ask HN: Why is W3Schools.com a Rock that won't Roll?
They are not out there to earn reputation, but traffic to convert in pageviews that they can sell.

With that said, there is nothing more to discuss I guess.

malditojavi··on Show HN: Learn to code by being coached by an experienced developer for free
Good intentions, difficult scalibility for being free. Stackoverflow works because users who give answers earn reputation - something that they can include in their CVs. If there is not something that you can offer (material or inmaterial) to the ones who are going to make great your service - devs willing to teach - this will be just a good intentionated initiative, badly executed. Not trying to be negative, just what I see imho.

malditojavi··on Ask HN: Should I quit my job if I am not learning?
If you ask this today, Im sure tomorrow you won't ask it, but directly quit. Feeling stuck, without no professional development is the main reason to look for something else.
malditojavi··on Ask HN: How do you find backlinks placed behind a login wall?
Yes, I know that. But I'm not speaking about websites that I have access to. How can I know if a web page has been linked from another website with a login wall on it - that makes invisible for the current search engines?
