"I'm worried about scale as if this thing is going to take off it needs to scale big..." Please don't say this. If you are being paid by someone else, please check with them to ensure what their priorities are when things "scale big" bc oft

This is very cool to see a company do good things for under served groups of the population that don't contribute a giant chunk to the bottom line. Good on you Regal and Sony!

I think these are very good points. I guess I simply hope for the sake of humanity that a practical real world applicational use for 3D printing is not guns! I appreciate your thoughts, cheers!

Call me a simpleton or luddite if you will, but I don't even have a regular printer at my home and I don't see a good reason to have a 3D printer either. Also, a non-techie like my brother (who probably wouldnt use this anyways) can barely

Yes this would help for optimizing a giant site, but the author is referencing codeschool...that is like throwing a middle school football player into the NFL. Some things truly don't need that level of CS proficiency now-a-days.

Everyone who has shipped a production site knows that codeschool doesn't have a mission to teach you "programming", so much as a stripper does not want to have sex with you. They are both meant to tease and entice you. Given the author refe

My apologies Jim, as I was not trying to insult your intelligence. I did not know the answer, but that is the answer given by the creator and it leaves a lot to be desired. His answer appears to indicate that he just did it for shits and gi

Awesome find! Thank you sir!

:) true, but I always tend to learn from the way people work going from nothing to a finished something (even if it's small). Maybe I'm thinking about it too much and I just need to do it!

I really love the flat design trend. Does anyone know of any good photoshop/illustrator tutorials that teach this new trend?

Glass is such a personal experience that is not able to be shared with the world and can really only be explained by "you just have to try it". I am rooting for glass, but I have no idea how it will overcome the d-bag who always has their b

I love the addition of Chris Bosh! After coding being hard, in general, I believe that our industry's biggest challenge is it becoming "sexy" or having role models that a vast amount of people can connect with!

It appears like he is going after the message that YC is for pretentious founders, and 500 is for practical founders.

So the proposal is that I make more money if I make the best stuff...I like it...I just think that you have to define what "best" means pretty early or else I, as a developer, will come up with my own definition of "best" and it will probab

I have had experience in this, and you're right about how difficult it is to enforce but in my experience merely having a document to reference and threaten with legal action is enough to scare most fear away. Just don't lean on your agreem

The quality of the code is up to your requirements as a developer. Have the outsourced developer code exactly to the requirement and accept nothing less.

Howdy, I am a developer (PHP, .Net, Ruby) and I have had similar experiences as the author, but I think that he should have highlighted the part where he says "fire fast". That is the best advice that he could ever have given. Let's face it

Yeah, that is a very good point. I guess I just wanted to see this conversation die along with the original article. Because the 'no internet' guy was no doubt just doing that as link bait. Now this will be the top post tomorrow and it will
