I once read a post from a company's founder who is involved in the business of hiring fresh talents for tech companies.

Basically, what he does is whine and whine about the lack of talent because most fresh graduates want to build a start-up for themselves instead of joining a company.

He tries to convince fresh graduates that they are better of joining established companies because most startups fail anyway. It seems like people distort their values when it comes to self-interest.

I said he does so because he is once the founder of a startup himself. Why would he discourage others from doing the same.

I didn't know before that someone can scrape or access HN's API to retrieve it contents. Is is actually legal?

I'm so fascinated by the news here that I haven't yet figured out how the site works so far.

A while ago I was reading a blog post and I spotted a grammar error. The post was good but it made me a little uncomfortable.

So I decided to make it right. I used chrome developer tools's edit html feature... I edited the html and behold the grammar error was gone. I read the paragraph again with pure delight. I love technology.

Idea Generated: There are lots of blog posts out there that have good content, but sometimes they are not written well or grammar errors exists because of lack of proof-reading.

What if there was a web-app where readers can correct blog posts or articles. Of course, it needs the approval of the author. There might be a 'Correct me if I have grammar errors' button of some sort somewhere in the post.

The editor is not allowed to edit the meaning of the content, only the typos and/or grammar errors, which of course needs the approval of the author. It's like github for blog posts and articles.

OpenSSL is like a guardian angel who's invisible to a person. The guardian angel has been helping the person all the time even though he/she doesn't know it. Then the time came that the guardian angel made a little unintentional mistake that led to large consequences. The person then starts blaming the guardian angel, forgetting all the good things the angel has done for him/her.

I feel you man. OpenSSL is like a guardian angel who's invisible to a person. The guardian angel has been helping the person all the time even though he/she doesn't know it.

Why not think outside the box. (I apologize for the overused cliché.) Reading is only a means for learning something which is the outcome that you want.

Like you I like reading books (and still do), but I found out that I can learn much faster and efficiently through programming courses offered in sites like tutsplus, treehouse, infiniteskills, etc.

That doesn't mean that you should stop reading books, for all I know those video courses are an effective learning companion. You can subscribe to any learning sites that you want, but if you ask me tutsplus is a good one.
