"your skills will erode as you crank out an endless stream of cheap WordPress sites". That is so right on the spot. That's exactly how I feel right now and I'm pretty sick of it. I decided to just stop freelancing (I'm still a student so I

I really love AGOT, and the only reason that I'm pirating it is because it's basically the only way to view it in my country. I'd love to watch it on the television the same day it is released in the US, but that's not gonna happen. Other c

I was just about to post this, but 'A short history of nearly everything' by Bill Bryson has a LOT of these stories. It explains how we determined the circumference and the weight of the earth, the distance to the moon and the sun, etc. In

Very nice! I've been waiting for something like this. There are other metro themes for bootstrap, but they're a bit over the top and try to replicate the metro GUI on the PC/tablet.

Hmm, somehow it doesn't work for me. When I hit the Play button, nothing happens. What's up with that? Using Chrome Version 23.0.1271.64 m @ Windows 8 btw.

If you use it as a template (as in: writing the same kind of things) it no longer comes from the heart, rendering it useless. It has to be genuine. I liked the post as well, I might even consider being his technical co-founder, but I'm too

I'd say use Azure Websites: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/home/scenarios/web-sites/ . You can easily select one of the many frameworks/blogs/CMSes from a list, and install it. Azure will automatically get the latest version from the of

Awesome! I've been waiting for this for so long; I even wanted to make it myself. Does this work with default bootstrap HTML? Keep up the good work, I'm definitely going to use this.

Just to start with the discussion: I don't. I feel like it takes up too much of my valuable time (I'm working on my own, so I need all the time I can get). I do however build my software with test-ability in mind (more or less, I probably h

I really don't think it's "unnecessarily negative". I see so many people wasting their time by working on 'ideas' that aren't even real ideas. He could have used his time better doing something actually useful. A lot of programmers have a b

I'm sorry, but I'm really not interested in yet ANOTHER todo app/website/whatever. Please come up with something innovating. Creating the millionth TODO app and calling it a 'startup' is just not going to work. We have enough of these thing

I don't think Facebook will die, for two good reasons: 1) there are many more people on facebook than networks like myspace ever had. This makes a transition much, much harder. 2) facebook is not only used for facebook, but for many third-p

I agree with this. I see most of the people here doing what everyone else is doing. Using RoR and AWS because it's 'cool', using all kind of bullshit names to indicate non-existing bullshit jobs, applying practices because everyone else is

Yes, metro apps are fullscreen. No menu bar or anything like that. So if you have some background tasks you won't be able to see if they're finished... And apps can be suspended or closed. Suspended is something like 'sleep mode'. They're s
