saiko-chriskun··on Gmail: Design breakdown?
rest of the screen unusable? huh? it's just as usuable as it is without the compose window up. I find it useful.
saiko-chriskun··on Who is your favourite a**hole and why?
Linus of course, hahahah.
saiko-chriskun··on Looking for a front-end guy for a startup project.
I think most people will want more info on the project. How else will they know if they're interested or not?

This.
saiko-chriskun··on Ask HN: What is this long Get In Touch string at the end of Balanced job post?
ahh don't try hahah, it's not an encryption it's just some identifier for some other website awhile back that was doing some sort of HN integration xD
saiko-chriskun··on I open sourced my first big rails app and have some questions for HN
wow I haven't started but I have a /very/ similar idea to this I've been wanting to build :P

Anywho- 1. YES you should be putting it out there. Seriously. Don't worry about 'omg this might not be the most ingenius code ever'. You're already ahead of the game by shipping something. Employers love living, breathing projects. Put everything you do on github.

2. If you want to clean things up, sure go ahead and do so, although I'm pretty much gonna say the same thing as above in that it's not really doing any harm in the meantime. Get around to it when you get around to it.

saiko-chriskun··on Ask HN: What is this long Get In Touch string at the end of Balanced job post?
For some reason your comment made me realize what encoding it was. I don't know why, hahah.
saiko-chriskun··on Ask HN: Does anybody need 16 years old designer? Hire me
Great work! Keep it up ;). If you ever want to hack on some side projects with a developer hit me up. I always have a few things on the backburner :P.
saiko-chriskun··on Looking to build my skills
Here's one of my interesting throw-away apps I played around with but never really took anywhere:

a turntable.fm clone that spits out shoutcast-compatible urls

or in slightly more detail: - user creates channel - user invites friends - users can collaboratively manage playlist - users have access to a shoutcast-compatible url that's a shared stream of said playlist

should give you a few interesting engineering problems to deal with :)

saiko-chriskun··on Ask HN: PHP, Django, or Rails? Oh my
It's totally a personal preference. I'm more of a ruby guy, I have friends that are more python people. Try both and see what fits you better.
saiko-chriskun··on Ask HN: Is Google Nose an April Fool Joke?
No dude it's totally legit. What are you having trouble smelling? Maybe you should get checked out.

saiko-chriskun··on Hey ember.js - you need to drive more votes
it is about google+, that extra info pane on the right is about google+ pages, I'm sure if emberjs made one they'd show up too. if you don't like it go use duckduckgo.
saiko-chriskun··on Hey ember.js - you need to drive more votes
emberjs doesn't have a google+ page

saiko-chriskun··on Ask HN: Good collaborative task management tool
another vote for asana!
saiko-chriskun··on Ask HN: What web based language should we learn nowadays?
The four big web languages off the top of my head today would be: php, ruby, python, and javascript. You still see java in parts, or other jvm-based languages such as scala.

Personally I wouldn't worry much about which language you should learn. A lot of skill in programming and development is being able to conceptualize abstract problems, and learn new things on the go. I actually promote learning languages like haskell because, although you'll rarely use it professionally, it gets you thinking about things in different ways and, in turn, makes you a better programmer.

Just learn what you want for now (php?), and when you need or want to expand in the future, do so :).

saiko-chriskun··on Flat-UI repository is available again
He's referring to their own download page: http://designmodo.com/flat-free
saiko-chriskun··on Someone at work is trying to get me fired what should I do?
