  2. Ask HN: System linking discount drug cards to pharmacy or doctor?

    Not everyone knows that drug manufacturers offer discount cards on their websites. Occasionally the doctor's office will give you the heads up, which is nice. But there's a huge information gap here and it can cost…

  4. Ask HN: Why is there such high turnover among Designers

    We're looking for a (Software) Product Designer and hoping we can employ someone for the long-term (which is at least 2-3 years these days). The vast majority of UI/UX Designers stay at a company for 6 months to 1 year…

  8. Ask HN: Required Sign Up Pop-Up on Homepage?

    I just visited Boxed.com, a grocery delivery site - a pop up box required me to Sign Up/Log In, or else I'm unable to access anything on the website. For me, and I imagine many first time visitors, that's a huge turn…

  9. Ask HN: Ranking dev bootcamps when hiring?

    When you're hiring a developer, do you lump all of the coding academies in the same "basic development skills" level, or have you found superior results hiring out of certain ones? If the latter, which ones? Thanks.

  11. Ask HN: What stage of funding do you consider a red flag?

    A friend told me that he's wary of joining a company at Series D or beyond. Is this just his personal preference? Do you consider a certain phase of funding as a sh*t-or-get-off-the-pot indicator, or do you take into…
