Is there video or audio of the presentation? It's easier to grasp attitudes than just seeing the slides (good though they are).

You're asking me to justify reading books that are recommended by someone I admire? Seems like such a trollish request! But I've liked some of your comments, so I'll try to answer straightforwardly. I often read books for information, ideas

by 10ren 17y ago
Drew, could you share what books you found especially useful, please? The slides mention Steve Blank, and allude to his "4 steps to the epiphany" and (maybe?) 37signals' "Getting Real".

I considered a $-based referral program, but it seems a bit shady to me in that it provides a motivation to refer that is independent of the quality of the product. A kind of moral hazard. But if the referrer is a user themselves, and their

Inspiring! A question: How much did it cost (in dollars, not sweat) to get these services started, and how much is it monthly? I'm surely off-base, but I feel like it "should" all be free for something getting started (ie with very little

Programmers should be like barristers or brain surgeons - you don't promote the best into management, you hire a manager. Like Fred's surgical team. But it's not like that, because, I think, the main usefulness of programming is not in the

Fascinating. I never thought of Die Hard like that, but he's right. The hero doesn't just improvise ingeniously - a standard hero trope - but specifically in terms of architecture. He isn't given clever gadgets like James Bond, but conjur

As a business hacker, this reminds me that when your costs are cheap enough, a free version that your customers can use properly is the best possible advertising. Like the shareware version of Doom. As a code hacker, I've just setup a git r

Isn't web.py already Python's Sinatra? examples here: http://webpy.org/ http://sinatrarb.com/ (I really want to know - it seems very similar to Sinatra to me. What are the differences?).

It makes it difficult for new companies to dominate . The case studies in the innovators dilemma (eg for the disk drive market) show many niche players trailing the leaders. I think the blogger is making the 37signals point that you can

Thanks, 3rd party library are a healthy sign for a platform. I was thinking they go partially towards the fears in 3.1.1, of a layer, potentially cross-platform, and out of Apple's control. But I guess if they are iPhone-exclusive, it's les

by 10ren 17y ago
I think there is one technical argument for 3.1.1. It's often been observed that as PCs kept getting faster, apps stayed at the same speed (or even slowed down), as layers of abstraction soaked up the extra cycles. To remain snappy, the iPh

I've often wanted a way to reference web documents at the paragraph level in general, since most web documents don't include many anchors (<a name="here"/>), that you can use in the URL with a "#" ("#here"). One solution I tried was

The recursive wildcard didn't come out right. It should be: **/*.java And the mapping is: :map <C-n> <Esc>:n<CR> " next file, with control-n :map <C-p> <Esc>:N<CR> " p

His third-last paragraph nails it: It's a "consumer device", not a producer device. This particular issue hasn't hurt the iPhone... BTW: "Nomad" was so appropriate, being appealing to techies but not to normal people.

I've had that problem, here's what I do: :arge will do the same as :e, but also add it to the arglist. You can prefix with a number to insert it at a particular position, especially :0arge and :99arge for first and last respectively. It onl

I use the arg list. I looked into buffers a while back, but they seemed overcomplex for what I need (same with windows). Checking the vim help just now, buffers and arglist seem (mostly) equivalent. I'm curious: do you find there's specifi

I just saw your reply now. The urls are different. This one is a list on a meta.stackexchange itself. The other one is on an independent website. Their actual lists differ. I couldn't tell which was better, so I posted both to let HN decide

Jobs said there was no business case for an apple netbook, because they're too cheap for Apple-sized margins. Though Sony's vaio is still surviving at a much higher price-point. The latest model has has 3G.
