stuff

We can try to deny it all we want, but most of the stuff that's there is true.

Why should I be more comfortable letting Google back up my stuff instead of Dropbox?

We simply don't have to scramble for answers to give to kids when they ask why all this algebra stuff is important.

There is a lot of good security work that has started inside the OpenBSD project, and I don't mean to talk any of that stuff down.

My Twitter, LinkedIn, Quora, Github and all the other stuff I can't remember, all exist to connect me to people I've never met. I'd way rather use one of those than Facebook.

They then asked me to get in the car and we drove around looking for the guy, found him, and they arrested him, and returned the car owners stuff.

Show everything and customers will trust you more.- Use social stuff like Twitter to encourage customer feedback.

Ever since I was old enough to spend money I was told to worry about my credit rating, and to take out credit cards, and do all that other stuff.

I'm probably alone with this opinion, but it's extremely frustrating to see this stuff happen over and over again./end rant

Same thing with using "BDD" testing frameworks like RSpec vs. traditional assert stuff, what is the nice syntax worth if tricky bugs hit you where you most want to avoid it, in tests.

Someone who knows he's the sheeeeet but doesn't want to prove it at a big company that does lame stuff like QA. Someone who can down a can of Coke and a box of Mentos and then go on to devour a four-course meal of web-scale challenges the likes of which no other startup has ever faced.

* Now would not be the worst time in the world to go to your Twitter config, hit Settings -> Apps, and scrub out all the stuff you don't use.* Now you know why you never give 3rd party web apps your Gmail password.

They prioritize launching early over everything else, including retention and engineering discipline and a bunch of other stuff that turns out to matter in the long run.

This is still a board for entrepreneurs before it is a board for hackers, but some of the more out-there John Galt type stuff will now get picked apart and downvoted, or even just ignored, where before you either clucked your tongue in agreement, remained silent, or donned your flame suit.

Unless you've made a lot of money and you've been on the cover of Forbes, or you put an autonomous vehicle on Mars while wearing a Mohawk, telling people you're a programmer/mathematician/scientist is more likely to get them to presumptuously assume you're some mechanistic robot than for them to say "wow, interesting stuff".

The locker-room atmosphere that stuff like this creates is a huge barrier to entry for a lot of people, women especially, who infer that on top of all the technically difficult stuff that everyone has to learn to be CS types, they'll also have to deal with a constant barrage of "you're not our kind" flung at them by the in-group.
