  5. Ask HN: Is there any point to being in Silicon Valley for an engineer now?

    The atmosphere there of the last 10 years was incredible. Daily meetups, hackathons, endless networking events, game jams, conferences, hacker spaces, cool offices, likeminded people everywhere. But literally all of…

  13. Ask HN: Does anyone still hire “Junior Engineers”?

  24. Ask HN: Are sites like Elance and Upwork worthwhile?

    It's been quite a while since I first checked them out, and the last I knew it seemed like a bit of a race to the bottom. People competing for $2/hour made it seem like a waste of time. Is there actually a market for…
