It's taboo to plug your startup or idea. Why?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13733654Since starting my own business (I own a drone company) it seems taboo to be honest about plugging what I have to sell. When you start a small business and have no budget for ads you need free ways to get your idea/website out there. If you built an indie game, app, Have a prototype, have a youtube channel etc and want to spread the work but you recieve nothing but hate online it can be a disaster. I thought this was a problem. So I started Runway16.us its a place to plug your idea and find early adopters looking for new products & websites to spend money on. Runway16 is not my business or source of income. I just put it together to help other people post their ideas, startups, and not feel guilty about it. Just to prove I'm real my name is Daniel and I own DroneVideoJunkie.com. If you have any recommendations for Runway16.us or just want to plug your idea I wouldn't mind constructive feedback or interesting content.Feb 25, 2017 8:28 PM

Ask HN: Stepping Away from Day to Day Development, How to Manage?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13289614Background:I joined on as one of the early employees at a startup a couple years ago. I liked the idea, had previously worked with one of the founders and took the lead developer role. Things have gone well, the development team has expanded, hiring a few really talented devs and many other quality contributors and along the way a VP of Engineering who is far better at the people-oriented parts of running and building a dev team.As those people have come up to speed and the product solidified I've handled off more and more and now find myself mostly stepping back from development. I'm still in discussions about technical plans, but now I'm also spending time in conversations with PMs about new products/directions, timelines and planning of feature rollouts, and being brought into larger sales deals/partnerships as a bridge to the technology side of the house, speaking on behalf of the company at various events, serving as brand expert, and mentoring up younger devs.Part of me feels likDec 31, 2016 5:17 AM

Ask HN: Are (Windows) Symlinks Dangerous?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13220734What I'm trying to do: I have a central repository of scripts and I figured that symlinks would be a novel way to keep scripts located throughout my network always up to date. I ran into an issue during a Windows deployment where I got the following error "The symbolic link cannot be followed because its type is disabled." This is the default behavior on Windows for remote to local and remote to remote symbolic links.I can enable this functionality with fsutil, but I want to know the potential repercussions of doing so. If this is a bad idea, what methods or tools do you guys use to keep your scripts up to date?Background: In the Unix/Linux world hardlinks and symlinks are par for the course, but Microsoft hides this functionality in Windows (though it is present). Microsoft disables the functionality for non-administrators by default and obscures it from users by making it possible only through the command-line.Notes: I know things can "break" when symlinks point to symlinks and I knoDec 20, 2016 3:40 PM

But it didn't happen. I failed to gather interest, these are some of the lessons learnt.1) Explain your product in one interesting lineWhen you post about your product in producthunt, reddit, hackernews, twitter etc. You should be able to get people interest with just your one line.No body has time to read your description and watch explainer video. When someone asks about your product and you failed to get his attention in one sentence.I think you should revisit your product and make it better and strong in at least one aspect.2) Have at least one big differentiating featureIf you have a competing product which is already popular.Doing small improvements will not make users insDec 16, 2016 9:52 PM

Crytek haven't paid their employees in Bulgaria in 3 monthshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13140938Crytek haven't paid their employees in Bulgaria in 3 months and all workers in that office are currently owed 3 full salaries. The company is not looking to pay these salaries any time soon and have spent the last few months lying about the availability of this money in order to keep as many employees as possible.The Yerli brothers (Avni, Cevat and Faruk) are now looking at the second delay in the last 6 months (after finishing up a delay of 2 months just before the current one) and the third payment delay in the last two years.The former director of the Sofia studio, Vesselin Handjiev, left several months ago and the studio is entirely at the mercy of Crytek Frankfurt's leadership, which has proved to be unsuccessful in stemming the current bleeding for 6 months.Anyone who has an offer or is otherwise considering joining Crytek is advised to steer their ship elsewhere, as the current situation is rumored to apply to all studios within the company, even after the closure and selling ofDec 9, 2016 7:04 PM
