I'm in love with mine.

• Hardware is good enough and that's perfectly fine • It's repairable and can be easily opened • Software is open which is increasingly rare there days • Ability to play on TV, on couch (with headphones) and on monitor with keyboard/mouse is awesome • Being able to play old games is great (I finally finished Assasin's Creed 2) • It's still a PC where I can switch to Linux Desktop and tinker with stuff • Battery life isn't the best but I almost always have power source near me • Valve did awesome job with handling controls in games with Community layouts etc • I finally found sense in USB-C where I switch between Deck and Macbook with a single cable • Hacker community is vibrant • It's an emulation heaven :)

I've started using React.js in 2014 and I'm still using it today. That's probably quite a lot of minutes TBH.

Month ago I've started another project - again React + Redux. I don't think React.js will disappear from the scene anytime soon.

With big money comes big responsibility. Storing $16M should be taken very seriously and probably most people have no clue about that.

Year after year of new iPhone's premieres I wonder for how long I'm going to use my iPhone SE - 3,5years has gone and nothing new for me on the horizon :(

I don't care about missing jack, USB-C, cameras and other things - just make it smaller and it will fine by me.

The quality of DigitalOcean communications in this case - especially email responses look like worst examples from some pretty terrible corporations. I thought DO was (is?) trying to differ from them.

Few days ago I've bought previous generation Retina 15,4 with funny faces from sellers at my local Apple store :)

Great keyboard, dependable battery, Magsafe, ESC and other goodies :)

And I couldn't be happier - no crappy keyboard, no donglemagendon and other crap :)

Holy moly O_o.

Those kind of stories are keeping me back from buying any Android devices in nearest future. Somebody might say that I can flash it with clean Android ROM but that's great for people who have too much time :-)

For me that's one of a reasons that as full-time Ruby/RoR developer I've started learning (& loving) Python. Some time ago I've started to realize that too much is happening under-the-hood in many of the libraries I'm using and somewhat in my applications. After few months Python is much more verbose and readable for me and I don't have dilemma whenever I should I implement certain thing this or that way.

It has been probably posted sometime before but I think this is still very up to date and HN newcomers and veterans (and everobody else) should read this again and put into action.

Right now I'm also unable to move to Bay Area, but I think if your idea/prototype/product is decent and you'll make great progress during Fellowship program you're chances for being accepted into YC W2015 will be much higher :)

Would love to see something like this available for European entrepreneurs. Great idea :)
