gabeguz | 12 years ago | on: OpenBSD will shut down if we do not have the funding to keep the lights on

And suppose OpenBSD wanted to know exactly wtf you were planning on doing with OpenSSH after you downloaded it... what servers are you planning to connect to, what keys are you planning on using? You know, if you're going to use OpenSSH they want to know exactly what for. Just leaching off the project doesn't inspire confidence.

OpenBSD releases quality software that all of us use EVERY SINGLE DAY as far as I'm concerned Theo can take the money and buy a yacht with it as long as they keep doing what they are doing.

I wonder if I can do the same thing with the MPAA:

well, yes I downloaded all those movies, but I haven't watched any of them. Really, if I decide to watch one, there is a process by which I purchase it first. Promise. It's not infringement unless I actually WATCH the movie.

Really nice. Sort of a 'best practices' guide in a sense. And found a few new tools, thanks for that link from Etsy.

Wow. This is inspiring. I've been programming for years, and don't think I'd be able to create something new every day for 180 days. Major props.

gabeguz | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Will a Linux certification make a difference to my career?

I don't feel that certifications in general help much. They can be useful to an employer that's looking for them, but in general if you know what you're doing and you can communicate that to the people who are hiring, you will have a bigger advantage than someone who has certificate x. Granted there are some places that require certifications x, y, and z, but generally those places have issues hiring great people.
