Ah, spring is finally here (in Redmond)…but<br />
who’s got time to smell the flowers, right? In<br />
this jam-packed issue of <strong>Hacker</strong> <strong>Bits</strong>, we’ve<br />
brought in venture capitalist Patrick McGinnis and<br />
asked him some hard questions about becoming an<br />
entrepreneur on the side while working full-time.<br />
There’s no question that times are tough in Silicon<br />
Valley these days, but Heidi Roizen has some solid<br />
advice for how startups can stay alive when venture<br />
capital dries up. As if life isn’t hard enough for<br />
startups, Jeff Atwood shows us how the mentality to<br />
hire only the best candidates can be hindering their<br />
prospects of getting ahead of the pack.<br />
But no worries, life is not all gloom and doom.<br />
Don’t believe us, just check out Alexander Hogue’s<br />
hilarious account of how he figured out when his<br />
Facebook friends were asleep and awake.<br />
And when you are done perusing this issue, don’t<br />
forget to check out the awesomeness of our<br />
revamped site at hackerbits.com! As always, drop us<br />
a line at our site if you like/dislike anything we are<br />
doing…or if you just want to chat!<br />
See y’all next month!<br />
