You're kidding, right? I find his post a bit amusing, and its far from unprofessional. It strikes a lot of programmer nerves, and that's better than being quiet and not asking: why can't it be this way?

Yep, I agree. I've used git for 5 months. I just know for sure what 3 commands do: git commit -a and git push and git add. Ask me what git merge does, or how to branch, or even how to delete a file in a repository (w/o deleting it from your

I looked the Heroku sign up page, and got intimidated as heck by all the terminology they use. I can't imagine what the setup and admin process is like.. it could be simple, who knows but their pre-sales page confuse me...

Having just wasted a day trying to install ImageMagick (with no success), I have to agree. I just want to freaking resize images, I don't give a DAMN about installing prerequisites or dynamically linking so and so. I just want a simple API

I may be ignorant, but to write a complex app, don't you need HTML5 AND a mobile javascript framework like JQuery Mobile and Sencha? Or does HTML5 handle that too? If it does require a Javascript framework, that's when the quality deteoriat

Everytime I see someone post a "happy" update in Facebook, I get the suspicion he/she is really masking some discontent instead, or just wants everyone to feel jealous. Noone is really truly happy, right?

I echo the sentiments of those that say you shouldn't have gone to a space that was way above your technical competence if you don't have an existing relationship with a tech person. I know that limits your options but there are still ideas

"In 1995, Pincus launched his first startup, Freeloader, Inc., a web-based push technology service that was acquired seven months later by Individual, Inc. for $38 million" - Wikipedia. If that wasn't a win, I don't know what is...

How is this faster if Amazon is acting like a proxy and acting another layer of redirection?

The concept of charity is entirely relevant here. This is a business, we're not here to give money away when we don't have to. Geez, keep your opinions to yourself, if you feel you should pay for it, then go pay for it, and donate even more

Great point. It's easy to forget this when you're doing a tech or internet company... But you still need a defensible strategy, and some competitive advantage if you want to successful in the long term. Yes, DropBox got it right compared to

I've had cases where I've had sites penalized for no good reason. Sometimes Google makes mistakes. Plan B, for me would be buy another domain (maybe an old one with some Google juice), and transfer all the content to that one. Plan C would

I don't really want them to do well... They're a huge time waster, and distracts people from the important things in life

I got a question. Does Facebook connect give Spotify access to my email address that is linked to my Facebook account? Does it give them access to my first and last name as well? If so, I could understand their stance... it will give their

I suggest making it free and trying to make money from advertising. Unlike websites, newsletters are able to command much money per 1000 impressions.

Sometimes I think this whole "G+ is gonna take over Facebook" mentality is just nonsense that the media themselves are trying to spread, not regular folks like us... Yes, people do think G+ has potential, but there's hardly anyone making a

Everyone seems to comment on how great the UI looks, but it means nothing ultimately if the data is inaccurate.

They got less traction than FourSquare, and are now pivoting to a less profitable space in travel guides... their apps look nice, and they got a good looking logo, I guess... but this sounds like an app in search of a problem. Gowalla looks

What is the average CPM like for those Android ads? And how much time did you spend promoting that app prior to releasing it?

I feel for you. You have good intentions and want to make something that actually improves the quality of education, a noble goal... The problem is that sometimes what people need vs what we want is different. We want to throw money at gam

Yep, I don't see the point as well. Reality is there's a lot of ppl in this world (way too many) and all are striving for similar goals. We can't all have the piece of the pie.. we can't all have our dreams fulfilled... it's harsh, but it's

The value proposition doesn't appeal to me... Slick GUI, and I'm sure you guys work your asses off, but there's no compelling reason for me to switch to another bank.. that's a huge cost.. I am get off my ass to another bank, tell them to c

Yup, I got that sense too. Yes, G+ looks busy.. but throwing 1000 features and 100 programmers isn't the same as millions of active users interacting with your product. You can look busy all you want, doesn't really matter

Unfortunately those sex references kinda took away any chance of me taking what you said seriously.

by Hisoka 15y ago
yup, I agree. Part of me thinks Google needs some crazy PR gimmick to get G+ long-term traction. You can't do with feature like Circles(I mean, seriously?) You're Google, go out and do something CRAZY that will get America talking about, an

I may be arguing semantics but isn't the first a type of the second? It's STILL solving a problem people have today. It just is a problem that consumers don't recognize very clearly for some reason.. maybe because they framed an existing pr

I know the price of anarchy. We don't have such a thing in this world. So no sense in learning the "price". We COULD learn a thing or 2 by looking at the PROS though.
