Everybody and their cross-stitching, jewelry-making mothers are raising money now. You'd think there was a bubble going on.

On: Redditor: Am I a scumbag for automating my manual work and making more money?

No, but you won't earn the Royal Victorian Order either.

Blekko has given me great results before, and I've found gems I haven't found elsewhere, but I'm not 100 percent ninja with the slash syntax yet, which is maybe a reason why I still use Google most of the time.

I'll bookmark this handy page and try to get in the habit of using it regularly.

On: Why You Shouldn't Code Alone

[SpaceDragon]

As I read your comment I felt a tinge of concern for you in your current situation.

It seems that you could be manipulated into working crazy hours because a "big payout" is "right around the corner", if only you do what they say and work your tail off.

Just be careful.

On: Ditch all alerts that aren't actionable

[SpaceDragon]

On: Ask HN: What if you woke up & another company was your doppleganger?

[SpaceDragon]

You're thinking way too much. Trying to predict what the future will be.

What relaunched said so succinctly: build and launch. Think of nothing else. Throw away your crystal ball.

Good luck

Buffer is a really great app too, so that helps the cause immensely.

Google's invasion of privacy will only get worse, as it becomes increasingly difficult to get off their teat.

"Do no evil" will soon become a rediculously bitter irony. Just wait.

New user motto, 'Use no evil.'

On: How not to ask questions at a conference

[SpaceDragon]

One problem with toastmasters: sometimes you have to sit through nearly two hours of agonizingly bad speeches (either in content or delivery).

I decided it's not for me.
