I'm a business guy turned engineer. I work for a company in Metro Detroit and I sometimes get to break stuff and put it back together in a better way using Ruby but not as much as I would like. I'm working on changing that by going back to the business side and hacking away at the company's culture. I also do freelance stuff; which I have been doing for the past 7 years being a web nerd centered around web design and development.

So, should we assume anytime a minority or women is asked to be on a board now, that it's for PR? Regardless of the success of the person? Tech is nothing new to Magic Johnson, he has been a venture capitalist in the…
Doesn't work always involve your body? Your brain is a muscle and part of your body, right? Not to mention be healthy plays a huge role in your productivity. Learning how to be discipline and focus is something all…
When looking through your website, I didn't see any information regarding any of what you've mentioned. As a Detroiter, I take it personal when organizations try to award pity on the city, as if we're some type of…
I have a problem with this and question YC for taking on The Detroit Water Project. I'm truly not trying to be difficult but I do not see the full context of the situation here or in the TC article. I'm a native…
Have you ever applied to a job and wanted the email to be different than the one who have listed?
WOW!!! Didn't know that. It could explain why connecting with someone you know is so important. When I think about it: Here is a situation that has a happened a couple of times in the past couple of years: Someone…
I really like the idea of the product but the idea of looking at three screens gives me anxiety. I know the product can be used for a single device but the video scared me off by showing its potential. I'll stick with…
I saw this and had to read. I feel obligated to post after reading some of the comments. I've never dealt with Network Solutions until I arrived at my current employer, fall of last year. I've to say, that they're by…
The housing industry in general is at least a decade back from any other industry because of regulation. I work in the apartment industry and can concur that tech could improve it 10 fold. However; this sector along…
This may be my optimism talking but I don't think violence solves any problems. We will continue to have enemies as long as we kill innocent people. Now that may be the objective; which refers back to my point that war…
I have to admit that your way of thinking in your comments scare the shit out of me. The thinking that violence solves violent problems is a little elementary. But my reply is in regard to this -->>"People mention that…
This was my point above in my comment. War is a good thing for the US.
Some of the comments on Salon are just sad. A death is a death. Whether it's 900 or 2, drone strikes that kill innocent civilians are unacceptable. Trying to justify it by saying that there is only a small death toll…
It's quite the opposite. Congress makes laws to protect corporations. (i.e. Hollywood, TeleCos, Insurance, Health Care, etc...). It's not people championing and cheering companies for their business practices. I think…
I love it, puts things in great perspective.
I agree, that another firm may be the best option in the short term. Hopefully, you had a change management clause or agreement set up in your contract, that keeps your current firm from completely ditching you without…

After reading the story on Fisker and their founder, I wonder if this is "Karma"?
I agree. If you're posting on HN, you can do a lot better then what you typically see in the ""Who Hiring" every month. There is a larger issue outside of HN with recruiters and the hiring process at most companies,…

This is a really good article. I was just talking with my friends on how it seems like LeBron realized that he can be unstoppable; which in reality and from this read, means he's more efficient. When you're efficient at…
I believe you may to want to state the subject matter that you would like to get your friends engaged with. If it's stuff like SEO, social media, CPC and business, then try inbound.org. Other then that a sub-reddit…
Your argument is really off base. Like most, it seems that you're biased on this issue. There are clearly a couple of things most people have an issue with in this case and all are no reason to be mad at Apple. 1.…
