  3. Anyone use a VR headset for dev work?

    When it comes to development, for me, the more screen real estate, the better/more productive I am (to a point). I was thinking, rather than a wall of monitors, some VR experience with a virtual desktop (with a screen…

  5. Ask HN: Is it ever worth working with recruiters?

    Just having a scout around various job sites and 80% of jobs advertised are from recruiting companies (as you'd expect). A lot of people's personal websites that act or contain their CV/resume will often state 'no…

  6. Ask HN: Web dev's – how often do you run your code?

    For web developers: How often do you run your code? Due to the nature of hot code reload/interpreted languages like PHP, how often do you find yourself flicking back to the browser to check on things? Just curious.…

  8. Ask HN: What are your tech/programming 'bets'?

    What technologies are you currently interested in that you think will be useful in the future? I'm currently at a total loss for what to pour my time into. I'm working in a low-end support role, having done development…

  9. Ask HN: Did the HN ranking algo give more weight to 'Show HN' submissions?

    So, it seems for most of today about 70-80% of the front page have been "Show HN" submissions... nothing wrong with that, I enjoy seeing what people have built and am more-than-happy with the new 'Show' link and page in…

  10. Ask HN: How many of you have had success with the monthly freelancing threads?

  13. Ask HN: Why haven't online auction/general-marketplace sites been disrupted yet?

    This question (title) is born out of frustration in trying to teach my mother how to use eBay on her iPad to do simple occasional buying/selling. Needless to say, it hasn't gone smoothly. I can't believe the complete…

    There are <Dr Evil>one million</Dr Evil> choices when it comes to CRM's and from using Google and HN Search, I haven't found any decent threads on this for a while. What CRM are all the freelancers out there using? I'm…

  15. Ask HN: Use own name or form a company for development freelancing/consultancy?

    Would you favor using your own name if you're offering software development as a consultant or on a freelance basis, or form a company under a different name? I'm torn between using my own name: - Feels more 'personal'.…
