did anyone else wonder why he is wasting so much time on money on stupid blinds.

so much for cash & time efficiency.


If he wasn't profitable and was blowing VC cash it'd be different. He's spending money he earned.


As he says in the article, programmers were having trouble working because the window treatments they had weren't effective.


About us:

We are LeadLog, a small startup company in South Florida building lead management software. We're two biz dev guys, a ux guru and a hacker with solid business experience.

Hmm...something seems wrong about this equation...


Yeah. They're going to sink like a lead log.


Telling that the blog domain name is "get real or die".

The job request and the response to criticism are anything but realistic.

So I wonder which one Dashboard is going to do?


is now a good time to ask...

'how are you going to make money?'


What's the next step after getting covered by TechCrunch? Finish college? Alex Schliker is clearly enormously blessed with talent and intelligence but even a wunderkind like Ben Casnocha didn't skip college. I worry YC's siren call may be luring some college students onto the rocks.


So when does someone cry 'But PG, it's not hacker news!'


So a guy who presumably makes his living on being a professional blogger is lamenting the lost of the personal touch in blogs... hmm


most of the advice is common knowledge, and the rest of the advice is of dubious value

So in turn, your advice would be to read random fitness forums...


No, my advice is to read well regarded forums (John Stone Fitness is one of them) and to read the stickies which are posts that have been deemed ("moderated," if you will) by the readers and the moderators to be the most informative.


Powerlifters do 'whatever works'...

huh?

In order to do olympic lifts, makes sense to go to a powerlifter -- who do have good form.


Powerlifting and Olympic lifting are different sports.


shouldn't the mentoring be for your start-up in general, and not just the YC app?


but you decided to spread it anyways (to the tech recruiters and HR who lurk here on HN)...


what was your avg dist. on the longer hikes? am curious that 15-20 lbs. was heavy on the long hikes. and where'd you store the extra gear (i imagine a lot of it was weather-related)


20lbs (9kg) seems pretty light for a long hike - unless this is just baseline travel gear and you're not counting food, water, tent.


Right, it's not counting food, water, tent. When we were hiking / camping in NZ, we carried that additional gear and it was much heavier. I personally have a pretty light build so 20 lbs felt very heavy after awhile, even when I was in good shape.
