I'm not launching a startup. I'd just like to get more involved and meet more people working on early stage startups. Can anyone recommend some good meetups in San Francisco/Silicon Valley?

I live in Silicon Valley. I am trying to start my own company but need some work to pay the bills. Any startup looking to hire an engineer on a contract?

My primary languages are Python and PHP. Can do MySQL or NoSQL databases. Good experience in scaling. I'd be great at a startup having some scaling issues or just starting out and need to build core features. I can do front-end work but only bug fixes and things like that. I wouldn't trust myself to be a full-time front-end dev. I've worked at 2 startups that have been acquired in the last year and another startup that is really hot right now.

If you are interested or want more information on me email me at hncontractacct@gmail.com (it forwards to my real email) and I'll be happy to send you my resume/LinkedIn.

I am from SF. Engineer at a startup. Looking for anyone in the local startup scene that wants to hang out tonight? Any startup parties or events tonight?

I am currently out of work and would really like the opportunity to work outside the Bay Area for a while. Would love the chance to work for 3-6 months at a London or NYC startup. Anyone know of a company looking?

I am an engineer. Few years experience. Worked at startups including one that was recently acquired. Would make an excellent hire even if temporary.

If you know of a company please mention here. Or if you are a company, leave an email/Twitter/Facebook and I'll promptly responde to you.

Who are some startups that haven't been on Techcrunch or maybe haven't even launched yet?

I am approaching my first full year at a startup and my options cliff for 25% of my options. Should I exercise that 25% immediately or let it sit? What are tax repercussions on exercising vs. not exercising?
