My vote's on jQuery, but whatever you do, do it unobtrusively (one reference: http://simonwillison.net/static/2008/xtech/ ). It's easy if you do it from the start, and there's a real savings in maintenance costs.

Because ignoring them doesn't work. If you don't fight to keep things on-topic, you'll just end up with another Reddit in a few months.

I work 11 AM to 11:30 if the projects are uninteresting. I work 7 AM around the clock to 2 PM if the project is good.

You do web dev, you could also consider getting into a JS library. And I recommend everyone who works in a team read http://producingoss.com/ -- its insights aren't just good for open source code.

No problem, it's set up to be cool for that.

I run a couple dozen Django apps in production. The admin interface is solid, we've only managed to find two or three oddities, mostly related to many-to-many associations. We haven't done much customization, but what we've done has worked

Don't know why this is getting downvoted -- I read and enjoyed this books a lot recently. I'm finding this to be a great thread for resources to satisfy the curiosity about probability and statistics that they left me with.

At the first (bad) workplace that certainly wasn't the case. The place had high ceilings, so I could hear the sales and support guys who sat 20m away. At my current job, yeah, people generally speak in hushed tones or grab a conference/brea

I find it's only possible when I really like what I'm working on. If I do, the rest of the world ceases to exist. I could probably work in the middle of a construction or demolition site for all it would matter. If I don't like my coworkers

Actually, I know Arrington was interested in Rails as early as July 2006. We had a serious conversation about using it for the first version of the job board. I argued for PHP and we settled on it -- at the time, Rails deployment was a PITA

Note that it applies as much to Cambrian House as well as the startups it attempts to build.

I built (the first incarnation of) the TechCrunch job board in the summer of 2006. I started at Cambrian House a month later (worked there about 9 months) and tried to introduce Arrington to Cambrian House's CEO to get some coverage. Nothin

Reddit is the same thing, but for dumb pictures and political sensationalism.

The point of bots is that they don't have to be efficient, just marginally effective and able to run with limited or no supervision. The solution to inefficient bots is easy: create more instances.

I use Django at the Washington Post to develop interactive databases and respond to breaking news. Most of the codebase was written by Adrian Holovaty, a creator of Django, and it's by far the best codebase I've ever inherited. The admin in

Flickr is worth 4 billion because he guessed at its freemium conversion rate and the introduction of advertising, then ran it through a multiplier chosen by a guy banned for life by the SEC? At the least, this is unpersuasive.

Removing the "Intel" from the title is the only thing that made this title interesting to click on -- maybe someone has an interesting argument? But no, the entire article is Intel preferring more people buy bigger processors in greater num

I've launched five of the ideas off my list in the last three years. http://NearbyGamers.com is the only public success (though it's small and growing rather than big and robust). I've got one idea currently in development and am actively

I would think that anyone smart enough to build a good prototype would have a drawer full of startup ideas.

If you started from GPL code, what you produce is a derivative work and must always stay GPL. It does not matter how much you simplify, change, fix, improve, or extend: if you start from GPL you have to stay GPL.

Hey, reminds me of Cryptonomicon. Let's see... The math is pretty simple here. The Dentist [eBay] has a way to claim damages from Epiphyte [Craigslist]. The amount of those damages is x, where x is what the Dentist, as a minority shareholde

Is there a list of all the recordings from Startup School 2008 anywhere? I've been clicking around trying to find one without luck. I tried clicking on the user to find a list of videos and even that didn't work, there's just a list of time

OK, so let's say Yanik has no costs at all -- he gets to take that entire $300,000 and put it right in his own pocket. Maybe lumber and concrete just fall out of the sky for him, and people work for him free because he's such a nice guy who

Easiest way to test this would give the class 'user' to links to users. Folks could tweak their browser's CSS with a.user { display: none; } real easy.

Trolls and other misfits are trying to get attention, however negative. Denying it to them is the best way to get rid of them. It's fine if they keep posting: after a few posts of theirs are soft-deleted like this, the moderation system sho
