That's the beauty of his approach, in my opinion. He deploys the money in one shot, to many companies (portfolio theory says this reduces risk), and does so with little diligence. He may be pricing many angels out of this type of deal bec

Site went down for a moment there...bluehost to the rescue. The main issues revolve around some topics I hadn't seen elsewhere. 1) Will Paul's talent filter function work as the influx of applicants grows? One poster suggested he doesn't t

If anyone ever questions the value of the idea versus the value of execution, use this as a cuationary tale. Here's my post outlining this very idea from 2 years ago: http://www.manyniches.com/n00b-notes/my3words/ 2 years. I even regist

Interesting theory. My thought was that they might have actually created a problem which could blow up their revenue model. http://www.manyniches.com/uncategorized/did-google-instant-j... Part of that post discusses that the clever SEO m

I had the good fortune to actually spend some time geeking out with Jimmy on campus. Great guy, and he will be missed. If you are in NYC, reach out to him. He's a geek worth knowing.

Yeah, it's very short notice. Sorry about that. The plan to bring phones for developers landed at the last minute. But, given the opportunity to do it or not, we opted to do it.

I'm confused...people here are hating on the price? If you don't like the price, don't buy it. Free markets are pretty efficient, and pricing anamolies have a tough time persisting. DHH and crew are not perpetrating a crime on society wit

To be clear, I am not throwing stones. I am, of course, a MSFT employee, so I have a bit of bias there. As a data junkie I like to ensure that the right conclusions can be drawn. A post like this, when contrasted with the $4+ billion that

While this is great data, can you include some data about the makeup of the sample pool? Specifically, I am wondering how much of a conclusion you can draw about worldwide, or even US broadly, versus what could potentially be very a highly

Couldn't agree with you more. Developers want to learn new things. They also want to get kudos or recognition for their work, and make money. Hopefully we will over eliver on all of those fronts. Our business was built by supporting dev

Great idea on leaving the content for others to share. I had put together an outline a year ago for a book. The working title is The Failing Point. I started writing, and built up a good head of steam. I knew that getting a publishing de

I bought your book months ago...great content. It was easier to have you translate the content to family than for me to do it - I'm not a published author, so I am much less believable. :) I would love to email you some questions about my

Keith does a once a year comedy show on his birthday (Apr 15) in NYC and they get fans coming in from all over the world to see it. He's not headlining Madison Square Garden yet, but it's impressive regardless.

When you put it like that, I sound like a socialist, and not the unrepentent capitalist I hold myself out as. This certainly could be seen as no different than the government taking the tax receipts and simply paying down your debt for you.
