Just realized that my app responded to the top comment rather than the post itself.

Absolutely nothing. I've had my personal site reach the top a couple of times and its been totally fine each time. My site is static and runs on a $5 Digital Ocean droplet. The traffic barely even made it blink.

I'm the original author for this post, and there are a few things I've realised since writing it (despite the fact that it was only 2 days ago).

The first is as allwein says below: Just because I made an assumption that source control is ubiquitous, it doesn't mean that it actually is, and it probably shouldn't be removed from the list.

The second is with regards to quiet working conditions. I've seen here, and on Reddit, that most people seem to vehemently disagree with me. I didn't imagine that there would be this level of disagreement. The popular opinion is that everyone should have quiet working conditions. My statement was that working conditions are tied to open office vs closed office, and it was a personal preference. So, my question to HN is: Am I wrong in thinking that this is a personal preference and that it benefits everyone to have private offices?

What would the alternative be? Allow anyone to request that an account is deleted? Facebook needs some form of verification due to the password being breached (and its great that they are checking for that sort of thing)

This thread is great. Whenever H-1B threads come up on HN, I prepare for the onslaught of what can only be described as hatred. It's the view of many people on this site that all H-1B holders are "cheaters" of the system, and they don't deserve to get a job in the US. As a former H-1B holder, the threads always made me feel guilty, and feel bad about wanting to work for a well regarded, successful company. It's nice, and refreshing, to see that it's not the view of everyone, and that H-1B holders are equals and deserve the same rights as everyone else.

That's the case for the OS X version, but not for the Windows version.
