That's a very sensitive area to be heading into. Any assumptions you might try to make will find themselves with counter-examples quite often. A better direction to move in might be to minimize gender differences as much as possible (a

It gives a glimpse into the lives of actors one wouldn't otherwise see in the same image, while making them appear more human and approachable. Overrated? Maybe.

This does look very interesting. Do you have any stats available, or is everything too new? I'm just wondering if a developer could make a decent monthly living by working 40hrs/week on different projects. Also, what happens if on

The interesting thing is that they would accept pull requests (presumably from the devs they offered that "restricted" access), but might not share the profits from charging for atom.io. Food for thought.

Don't forget the Target credit card leak. Possibly worst of all because it ahem targeted physical credit and debit cards.

This is just an un-researched hunch, but I believe that for the small average sums transacted at McDonalds, the merchant (or the bank) takes on the fraud risk. Thus, they instantly approve your transaction, as long as the number of fraudule

This is truly awesome. I was looking at how the ideas behind Kandan (A Hipchat clone) and appear.in can be combined for remote work, and I came up with what Sqwiggle already does for $9/head :| Too late to the game, I guess.

Completely agree. But we still haven't figured out what that hard skill floor is for web developers. Heck, we can't even decide what a web developer actually does, as opposed to a web designer, or "growth hacker", or UI&

This is more of a question for the startup that Nathan was applying to: Given it took Nathan a reasonably small amount of time to research and learn the correct answer, what disqualifies him from being (or quickly becoming) a skilled develo

This kind of post reminds me why I'm still in this community. Thank you for sharing your experience. True, feelings sell best, business goals second to that. I guess it all comes down to having the leeway to 'fire' the wrong

As usual, a very useful and thought-out reply. Thanks for taking the time. As soon as I get over the typical impostor syndrome and realize I have a lot to share in a newsletter, I'll follow your advice :) 'Tis true, "do stuff

I've been following your advice and newsletters, and I get great value from them. However, one thing that I still haven't figured out is this: how would I find say, that small insurance company in Kansas who has $100k to spend on

Be prepared for more of the same in Romania. Just like most of Eastern Europe, lovely place to visit, horrible place to live long-term. That being said, hit me up if you're in Bucharest :)

I was under the impression (hearsay) that the Big Two carriers at least (FedEx, UPS) do not appreciate having their prices directly compared and contrasted. Is offering this service only for international shipments a way to get around that?

I had the idea a while back, it's great to see it implemented so well! One suggestion though, the fact that use cases are wide open could stifle growth. I'd suggest a few different landing pages you could A/B test, each cover

The solution proposed seems interesting, but still requires an account with a third party, in this case the feed reader (if not online, a downloaded native app). Given the nature of self-updating browsers and devices being permanently with

Aye aye, coupled with Modernizr, it should solve (most) use cases.

Alas, I was suffering from TLDR syndrome. I will definitely give Snap a try, along with seeing if it plays well with Raphael for graceful degradation for older browsers.

Without knowing this fact about Raphael, I was about to reply to another comment prematurely. I was going to complain that having the same author as Raphael doesn't explain why Snap.js exists, instead of a better version of Raphael. Th

What resources can you recommend for learning AngularJS and CoffeeScript at the same time? I had the same inkling, and I'm intrigued that you found it foolish. Why is that?

I think this direction can better be described as reaching toward a "native" experience, such as on mobile devices. You see this in Windows 8's full screen apps, they tend to be isolated containers, even though some are writt

Unfortunately, too much of human society is based on printed matter. Take shipping a box, for example. You'd still need to print a label. There's currently no way that I know of to associate that particular box to the place it&#x2

Yes, but there may be some non-dev designers that do not yet know how to set it up, or haven't heard of Grunt.

I wonder if the onset of Retina-like displays would remove some of the issues with antialiasing when rotating bitmap images. I'm tired of looking at the digital world straight on.

I'm currently working on http://ezsend.it but this sounds like something fun and somewhat related. It would be great if it also offered public transit directions. One could then market it to businesses as a replacement for

Having a text box for pasting addresses is a great idea. I also wanted to use location services to pre-fill the sender's address and show the closest drop off locations or mailboxes. Thanks for the feedback! I'd like to get as muc

That's exactly why I'm building it, and why I'll be focusing on the easiest and fastest possible user experience. Things like reverse geocoding to pre-fill addresses, the least amount of inputs, etc. Now, do you think the tim
