mehulkar··on I'm learning to code by building 180 websites in 180 days. Today is day 115
This is awesome. Reminds me of the girl who learned to dance in one year by recording herself every day. Also reminds me of Seth Godin who recommends starting the day by producing rather than consuming and follows the practice by writing a new blog post every day, without fail.

Consistency is so hugely important. Quality is born from quantity.

mehulkar··on MasterCard's Simplify Commerce
Seems identical to stripe?
mehulkar··on Website mistakes that are easily fixed
At the end of the day, it's never about what we can do, it's what we can do within the budget and time that we think is appropriate for what we want to do.
mehulkar··on Show HN: A cool live demo feature
Not a fan of the popups either, but I like the cool demo feature they've built for any website.
mehulkar··on Trying something new with Github. Help make my US holiday awesome?
I live in the city and I will be following this to get suggestions for what I should do too :)
mehulkar··on Poll: Do you meditate?
That's great. Are you in the Bay by any chance? I'd contact you offline, but your profile doesn't have contact info. Would love to meet up.
mehulkar··on Poll: Do you meditate?
Oh wow, I never thought I'd find a Pioneer on HN :) I'm an '07 graduate! :)
mehulkar··on Poll: Do you meditate?
I practiced Transcendental Meditation[1] for about 8-9 years regularly twice a day as part of the curriculum in school[2], but then I went to college and all went downhill. I'm disappointed there are no options for this in the poll.

But in all seriousness, TM and the advanced techniques have been one of the best experiences of my life.

mehulkar··on Official comment from HN on dead threads
Not really. You just have to get access to one of those services the publishes to all your accounts.
mehulkar··on Official Hacker News T-Shirt
I'm sad that this one didn't get quite the same attention. Disclosure, I made it. http://teespring.com/fundraising
mehulkar··on An open letter to the IIT Graduates
"India has more than 50% of population below the age of 25 and more than 65% hovers below the age of 35. It is expected that, in 2020, the average age of an Indian will be 29 years."

The graduates are India.

mehulkar··on Facebook's New Feed
The couple keynotes I've watched Steve Jobs used more superlatives than I thought necessary. And he used them over and over again.
mehulkar··on From Show HN to Funding In Less Than 3 Months
And then from HN Funding to Internal 500 Server Error in less than 42 minutes :p http://i.imgur.com/LxtdhqA.png
mehulkar··on Andrew Mason's statement about being fired as Groupon CEO
confirm
mehulkar··on An Unremarkable Event in the Tenderloin
I find it remarkable that we're still talking about "western" cities.
mehulkar··on Introducing Google+ Sign-In: simple and secure, minus the social spam
I'm confused, didn't Google+ Sign In already exist? I know I'm using it already...
mehulkar··on Ask PG: Do you ever get overwhelmed?
I watched an interview with the Reddit founders and at a couple points they were close to tears overwhelmed with the kind of community they had helped enable. When I first saw this Ask PG, I thought that's the kind of "overwhelm" the OP was asking about. This forum alone and the number of people it touches would be enough to overwhelm me from time to time.
mehulkar··on Ember.js or Angular.js?
The biggest + for me with Ember is the community around it. I have felt like I've grown with the community in the past few months as I've learned the framework. The freenode channel is usually active with lots of help available.

It would be unfair for me to compare this experience to Angular though because I haven't been so deeply involved with it.

mehulkar··on Ember.js or Angular.js?
> I think what the community sorely needs is a good Ember teacher

I think what we really need is a tool to go around and mark outdated blog posts as outdated. There's also this: http://www.embercast.com/. Not sure where it's going.

mehulkar··on Show HN: Lechat – team chat for developers
We have a pretty small team and use IRC pretty heavily. Works great and integrates with our internal github as well.
mehulkar··on Instagram Asking For Your Government Issued Photo IDs Now, Too
The only problem is the Facebook already has a billion users.
mehulkar··on Closing Issues via Commit Messages
You have to say "Fixes #8011 Fixes #8012" right? Not sure if the order of those words matter.
mehulkar··on Getting Started with Django
This is great. Just one thing though:

body {width: 80%; margin:0 auto; min-width:1080px;}

mehulkar··on Why the Fuck?
There's nothing wrong with profit. I think how we measure it needs reform.
mehulkar··on "TLDR" is unnecessary
It would be, but having honing in on a specific set of characters is easier than trying to figure out which one is the summary sentence.
mehulkar··on I hate the news
Maybe opinion pieces do. The news, I'm not so sure.
mehulkar··on "TLDR" is unnecessary
I like TLDR for being able to cmd+F to it quickly. In a well written article with an abstract or a good first sentence, I still have to find the first sentence. With a TLDR, I can jump to that section quickly. I know this sounds like the height of being lazy, but I assure you, it's not.
mehulkar··on Create and delete branches
That's a brilliant joke.
mehulkar··on Create and delete branches
I'm looking to make a simple Gist like application that tracks revision history as well. It's for a specific use case, but I'm sure it could apply in other places as well.
mehulkar··on Show HN: Our alternative to recruiter spam
I may have missed it on a quick glance, but how does this stop recruiter spam?
