Well, for what it's worth, I really liked it and consider it a keeper. It's on my bookshelf between "Programming Pearls" and "Mythical Man month". It's less about programming per se and more about how to think about programming.

Farmville succeeded through the hyper-fast and skillful application of the A/B-testing 'lean startup' techniques From what I've seen of it. It looks to me that Farmville succeeded through being an online MLM scheme.

Personally I find April 1 to be one of my most productive days of the year. It's the one day I tend to stay away from tech-news sites since I cannot trust that the news is genuine. It's only a happy coincidence that I even noticed this thr

I load up all of DJ River's Ambient Chillout mixes and his Colored room series (Blue room, Green room, etc) and hit "random". He was an excellent mixer and I feel sad that he (apparently) has quit. He recently let his site djriver.com laps
