My opinions are my own.
  1. Deploying software that’s no longer maintained afresh

    There’s a tool that I’ve used at other companies that I absolutely love. It has features that few other products have and I’m a lot more productive with it than with those other products. Wile there are efforts by…

  2. Handling lack of motivation and communication in early-stage startup

    I have an employee who I’ll call B. B joined us and got off to a good start but has recently faltered - having missed an all-hands and two weekly 1:1s with me - and is now producing no output at all. I’ve asked B…

  11. Ask HN: Best practice on businesses name-squatting on social media

  12. Ask HN: IRC at Facebook
