  12. Ask HN: Remedy for sagging inspiration?

    When you're working on something and just start to feel, what's the point? Is this going anywhere? Will anyone care? Should I just give up? What do you do to stay inspired? Do you read something? Do you have some kind…

  14. Ask HN: Where did the name Heroku come from?

    Rather than being directed to a new page to enter your reply to a HN comment, wouldn't it be nice if the 'reply' link allowed you to post the response by Ajax with no page refresh?
