It's kinda weird to use your personal account to ask this (instead of an anonymous one). Based on your submissions here on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=_evnr) and a quick google search for your name (which throws up [links redacted]), it becomes obvious that you are talking about [name redacted] and saying that it is not going anywhere.
As for your questions, do what's best for you. It's also usually best to leave out emotions when making these kind of decisions.
It doesn't matter if it's been 2 years or 2 months, as long as you have a valid reason for quitting, you shouldn't be stereotyped as an "unstable" employee (even more so, if you are good at what you do).
I'm in Mumbai as well, so if you need to "talk" to someone before your decide, I'll be more than happy to lend a ear.
Have been using the 2nd gen Dell XPS 13 developer edition that comes pre-installed with Ubuntu and I'm loving it. Wasn't all smooth sailing though: http://www.sandeep.io/157
The latest edition is even better.
At the time I also looked at the ultrabook from System 76 but decided to skip it because of keyboard issue reports and lack of support in my country.
Edit 1: The keyboard on the Dell XPS is nowhere as good as a Thinkpad, but it beats them on form factor, price and support (at least in my country).
Edit 2: The X1 carbon has a slightly flexible carbon-fiber chassis which I didn't like but it's a great option if you want a bigger display than the XPS 13 and don't mind the price.
Thanks. The launcher icon of the current version appears smaller on the Nexus 4. Will be fixing this soon. BTW, I upgraded to Nexus 4 from the Nexus One about 3 weeks ago :)
Why do people direct comments at AC assuming he will read them here? Isn't that a little self-centered? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to leave such comments at the original post?
Thanks for sharing this. I can relate with the idea of rewriting over and over again. I dislike how blogs make the idea of editing content once it's posted feel "dirty" since posts are supposed to be temporal. I'm working on something that solves this problem for me: http://converspace.github.com/ConverspaceSpec/
I'm only implementing textual content at the moment (long-form and micro-updates). Think about the textarea like Facebook's status update box: You usually add text, but if you add a link it figures out if it's a video, etc. Think even Twitter's web interface does this now.
I've primarily worked on the backend and have been some sketches on paper but nothing concrete to share yet. If you have any specific questions I'd be glad to answer them.
I have some running code but it isn't ready for launch yet. Just putting this out there to get feedback on what you like and what you think needs improvement.
Most blogs still run on shared hosting primarily for reasons of cost and a lot of people have existing shared hosting accounts that allow them to host multiple domains. If you're looking at individuals (the majority of whom are not typical HN readers and haven't gone down the PaaS path) installing this, it still makes sense to go LAMP.
