   This is exactly how my leaving facebook started. After a few months without the app I logged out on desktop, and then it wasn't long until I deactivated my account. I'd like to delete it entirely but at the moment too many people

   I don't think it's fair to blame leave voters, the whole thing was fundamentally flawed. While it was obvious what remain meant, "leave" was never actually defined, and so open to interpretation. Forgetting for a second

   Thanks! I'm not aiming for explosive growth or a huge exit, so it's probably more of a 'life-style business' rather than a startup, but that suits me just fine :)

    I concur, although we seem to be in the minority. I love the feel of the new keyboard and can type faster on it than my old mbp keyboard. Having said that, mine has developed the issue of sticking keys, for some reason it's the g key t

    Interesting article and definitely some good advice, but I completely disagree with example 4. Surely I can't be the only person who finds if (foo) { if (bar) { return true; } } if (baz) {
