HN mostly goes straight to the comments. And this is what people have to say about PHP...

rapfaria··on Ask HN: How was your first performance review?
This really gets me:

  I was given pretty much no feedback
This is exactly what happened to me a few years back. I was so eager for that review since we had all our KPIs recorded and I knew I had a perfect record, and all I heard was something along the lines "I have nothing bad to say". In that review, my manager said my results would warrant at least an A, and a promotion would probably be on the way. Probably.

A few weeks later I received a letter with my C rating, and I left the company a few months later.

Actually someone did try to apply the 10k rule to learn golf from scratch.

I remember seeing his blog post about his first hole in one. Even if I don't really believe the 10k rule, I was rooting for him to enter the PGA, just to prove that it was possible.

rapfaria··on We’re Entering the Era of Big Podcasting
App idea:

rapfaria··on Ask HN: Software Engineering,Money and Overcoming Guilt of Being Paid Too Much?
Invest. Now is not the time to give back, you don't know your future. Live a good life, and once you are in a position to donate and help other people, do so. But for that you have to have your life figured out first. You don't want to get generous now and have nothing in three months after unemployment.

Plan it accordingly and you can have a good life and give back to many, many people.

rapfaria··on Ask HN: Are you ok?
Can't change jobs right now because of upcoming trip with my mother in November, and the client will probably not renew the contract in december (from 16 people, from client and my company, 5 already left). The timing is not right to change jobs, and it's giving me a lot of stress.
