My passion is in design, which means I want everything I make to be optimized for usage by other people. I create code that is modular, readable, and extensible, and design interfaces that are intuitive and easy to use.

Do you have to be a current student to intern?

dexkiki | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: A website to pitch your new startup ideas

I have a couple of thoughts.

1. I don't have a twitter account.

2. I found it strange that the landing page didn't have any pitched ideas. To see an idea, I had to read the bottom text, and click on one of the countries. I didn't know those were links at first either.

3. Can ppl only pitch the title of their idea? Is there a description or something.

I'm on a 4s and to mirror previous comments, the game is really hard, as in impossible. I think part of the problem is the ad on the very top of the screen. It's covering up part of the "Drive" in "Drive Soldier Drive" on the title screen.

Also, I don't like how you have to click twice to start playing again.

Very cool. I love it.

Two things: How can I view comments on the link to the left? This is a minor point. I didn't know what some of the icons so I was initially confused as the differences between the center and left.

The scroll ball on visual content to the right and the number list "scroll bar" on the left side works out very well. Nice touch.

Edit: Also, I think the animations from when you switch between popular and latest for both columns should be consistent. I liked the pop-in effect when you do it with the pictures.

You're making the assumption that being able to perform well in tougher classes at school means that you are smart.

People drop out from technical studies into humanities because they did not perform well academically in their technical studies. Just because a group of people can perform better at school than another group of people are not smarter. One group is better at school. And school is not an indicator as smartness. Just because a class is harder does not mean that the people who do well in it are smarter. Performance at school is not a direct indicator of smartness.
