You can try to blame Myspace's "death spiral" is due to their tech stack, moving to L.A., but the root cause is their inability to innovate. It was virtually the same site in 2010 as it was in 2002. Think of how many new features Facebook

I'm not mad at their strategy. It seemed to have worked for Experts Exchange who I would guess has a more tech savvy user base. Just pointing out that you can't hide your content from users while getting it indexed by google at the same t

They're trying to have their cake(paying users) and eat it too (free Google traffic).

Good point. For high school I switched to a private school with around the same demographics and since it was "college prep" all the black students understood that we were there to make something of ourselves. So I never experienced the a

As a black programmer with about 5 years of professional experience, I've always asked myself the same question. Throughout all the job interviews, conferences and meetups I've been to I've met no more than 3 other black programmers. One

As a web developer I believe the problem and the bottleneck has and always will be the browsers. If there was an easy way to give our users what they want (flashy, ajaxy webapps) without breaking the web I'm sure developers would be all fo

You forgot to mention this at your PHP Meetup talk last night. I'm enjoying your book by the way. Thanks.

Haha. That was probably the wrong question to ask. I agree Nobel Prizes have a greater positive effect on our society than National Championships. But, the point I was trying to make was... Do you believe that USC should "follow a simila

Are USC's 114 national championships any less of an achievement than Caltech's 31 Nobel Prizes?

As the community's size grows the content will inevitably get more diverse. The solution is not separate sites where the content is forever fragmented but rather a hash tag solution (ugly but its something we can implement ourselves).

Agreed. As programmers we do not work in a vacuum. Our entire industry is built on abstractions. So unless you're programming in ASM you are definitely taking advantage of the work that others before you have done for free or that their

1 product vs 1 + 37 related/upsell products Amazon suggests to you. What might seem obvious to us might be voodoo science to this site's primary market.

Internal and external recruiters often reach out to prospects through the groups they belong to. Problem is they're not very location specific.

I read it and saw "PUA." Its as if they took all the underlying skills of manipulation and gaming psychology and applied it to business/networking.

My guess would be that it had more to do with the number of apps submitted since the policy was enacted than the number of complaints on internet forums. I also believe the original policy had less to do with security and more to do with se

As a black man it was refreshing to see a "description" of my demographic that I actually related too, as opposed to a stereotype based one that you might find on BET.

I noticed this as well and came to the same conclusion considering I've never met a single Red Sox fan on the left coast. Although, it could be that east coasters all rally around one team, where as we're split between the Dodgers and the

Agreed. A belief in the usefulness and future success of the idea should be at the top of both lists. Without it domain and language expertise is a mute point because they will never be performing at their full potential. I would also ad

I was recently tasked with looking for forum solutions to replace phpBB for a contract client and yes there is definitely room. As many others have already stated phpBB is bloated and anyone who has had to dive through the code knows that

I love the actual product and results, very clear and concise (although it'd be nice to allow users to probe for more information if they want). However, the process to get there was not as simple. I definitely almost bounced a few times.
