The instructors using our tool have been very vocal, and we're absolutely thrilled about that. However, we haven't heard too much from our fellow hackers or our instructor's students. If you've got a minute or two to spare, please let us kn

I have to say, I completely hate this too. You'll be reading through a post and BAM,"lol, WHY DON'T YOU SUBSCRIBE TO MY MAILING LIST". 9 times out of 10, I'm going to hit command+w and move on to whatever is in the next tab rather than tryi

I recently left my sweet, sweet university job running a development team to start a private firm with some colleagues. We launched http://wejustquit.net for our friends and family just after the announcement. When I need a little kick in
