simianstyle··on Ask HN: Code etiquette - tabs or spaces?
My theory is that your IDE should be able to adjust the amount of spaces that 1 tab is equal to, and therefore the whitespace is adjustable across editors that way - so I always use tabs.

But if you're so anal about whitespace, there's always regex...

I read somewhere that prototypical tech company should be making at least $300,000 per employee that they have. I wonder how Microsoft stacks up to this psuedo-stat.

simianstyle··on Ask YC: How should outsourcing be structured?

simianstyle··on Ask YC: What's the best advice you ever got?

Honestly, I still think RSS is useless to normal people.
