Better yet - Google Maps should change the directions when someone is navigating to an Amazon office to end up at a sewage treatment plant instead


What's going on with HN??


Content quality decreases as popularity increases. HN is about to go full Tumblr / Digg / reddit.


People have been saying that since I started reading HN in 2010. It still hasn't happened.


> It still hasn't happened.

No, not in general, but have you seen the comments on this story? I wouldn't call them stellar and well thought.


time to plan my cheap vacation from US to London


I think the most important thing is to keep learning. Expand your skills, try/work on a lot of different projects (because bigger companies usually have dozens or hundreds of different products, teams, and roles), which means you can probably find an interesting problem and learn new things. Pick the brains of the more experienced engineers. Be curious. Don't really know how something works? Ask and learn! Meeting people and network. Who knows, maybe they'll be a cofounder with you or be apart of your team at your startup in the future. Work on side projects and expand your interests! You usually have the time to work on side projects or explore interesting problems. I think it's important to do them, experiment with different ideas. Don't have ideas? Keep a notepad with the problems you face everyday. Discuss your side projects and ideas with your peers/coworkers. Most startups usually come from a side project


Reminds me of Unheap http://www.unheap.com/ But I like it how a majority of the plugins here do not use javascript where as Unheap are all jQuery plugins

I've been stuck at position 79992 for the past 10 minutes ... I just want to see the docs and guides!


This is a countdown? I haven't seen the number change at all; I was under the impression it was just your fixed user number. Then again mine is lower (758xx) and I only just signed up... I could've really used some hints here.

EDIT: The "mystery" over a lot of this is just making me less interested at this point. Sorry, marketers.

Yeah it's really starting to like this is more of a marketing company than a technology company, trying to milk some publicity but doing a really bad job of it.


Not a countdown. :-)


I guess Google wants this April's Fools day to be the 'very best'


The landing page is very confusing. I didn't want to watch the video or register just yet, so I spent a good 5 mins trying to drag the buttons on the page, expecting it to be a demo. Didn't work, thought the demo was either broken or it didn't work with my browser. Almost left and gave up before reading the comments here and decided to register and give it a try


NProgress.js natively requires jQuery (1.8+). If you don't want to use jQuery as a dependency, there's a PR on github that uses CSS instead https://github.com/rstacruz/nprogress/pull/28
