  5. Ask HN contractors: do you charge to write a spec?

  10. Ask HN: Best host for static HTML microsites?

    So I know my way around web development, and I have a meticulously crafted lighttpd.conf running on a few tiny VPSes. Problem: stuff goes down occasionally, severs require a reboot, and while it's great for hardcore…

  16. Ask HN: How do I find a marketing/sales/business guy (university)?

  20. Ask HN: If you got this assignment back, what would you do?

  22. Ask HN: Where do you find good testers?

    We've been working on a new webapp targeted at news junkies and smart(er) people. We're at the phase where we're using it internally and it seems (relatively) stable. Not quite ready for an HN launch, but we need 30-40…
