Never burn your bridges. I couldn't care less if your boss is an ass and treats you like dirt. Rise above it and remember you're leaving and won't have to tolerate him/her for long. You never know when you may need to use that bridge again.

Trying it out as we speak. One of the biggest issues with any reliance on recommendations is apathy. This is usually counteracted by offering incentives (typically monetary) and even that's proven to be relatively ineffective. Do you guys d

Point 4 now makes a bit more sense! Cheers for the insight.

Point 4: 'Hacker News' Get to #1 spot on HN & you'll get tons of page views. Reminiscent of 'How to draw an Owl' - http://i.imgur.com/Z1oTC.jpg In all seriousness, Point 7: Share Buttons - are these actually effective? It's a

If the recruiter was aware of your visa situation then I would argue that they've been unnecessarily harsh. If they weren't aware then I agree with their stance 100%. If they were aware then I would suggest contacting them directly (prefera

It's certainly harder to get funding but by no means impossible. The likes of Stefan Glaeznar in London is a good example of someone with the capital, experience and willingness to invest in early stage start-ups.

I disagree with CaveTech's summation that the process was all about securing a domain. It was about the author doing everything he could to bring his intentions for his product to fruition and the original article was about the significant

...you're comfortable blowing several thousand dollars on what, lets be honest, is a very, very unlikely chance at securing a domain name. Considering the context I have to vehemently disagree. Steve's really well known in the UK tech sce

The obsession with usability extends to giving everything a shortcut key... Nobody else does this. Windows Phone has an app for that. I have a tile on my home screen. Tap it and it creates a pre-populated email to my wife asking how her d

That's exactly what I was looking for. Mamet's point holds true to this day. Take any high-pressure sales role. Your employer doesn't care how much benefit you've added to peoples lives, they care about the numbers. Customer satisfaction

tl;dr: Believe in your product and don't be afraid to charge appropriately. All solid advice and adding more to the 'believe in your product' concept, the reasoning for this is incredibly simplistic. If you are attempting to sell something

The original shares the same ridiculous title but the article itself is a much better read.

Steve, I read all over the place that employees who take counter-offers are usually gone within the year anyway. More often than not this is usually the case. It's all contextual but if you take one of the more common reasons for leaving

You will never, ever get a single recruiter pay $500 to see your CV. If you really want to reduce the amount of recruiter spam then I suggest you change your linkedin privacy settings and if you have a personal site, make it crystal clear
