Obviously it's all personal, I'm just saying it helps me. I'm 5'7" and date models. Lots of bodybuilders are short. Also, a lot of people confuse "going to the gym" with proper bodybuilding. There'

This is going to sound silly, but have you tried bodybuilding? Not just running or hitting the gym once a week, but actually weight lifting? It works for me every time, and I think here's why: - it releases endorphins - making you fe

I've been through this at every startup I founded, but managed to pull through in the end - and I'm still hoping this startup won't be any different. I struggle to imagine if any CEO has not had a tough time like this and fe

Any argument around "Email" should first define what email is. Does the author mean SMTP will last forever? MIME? IMAP? Email is a way of sending a message using a number of old, insecure and inefficient protocols. Will better a

A model listening to other models? Yuck, that's just wrong. In an MVC application, only controllers should update models. Just because Backbone lets you listen to model events from anywhere doesn't mean it's a good idea. I

Completely agree! At post.fm we're trying to design an email client which will work offline, and synchronize data when online (IMAP isn't sufficient for our needs) - Exchange style. We've thought long and hard about various

Logs should be studied in CS together with Turing Machines - they are a vital component of today's architecture. I applaud the effort of clearly describing the role of logs in today's distributed architectures in concise and easy

This is excellent, I've always wanted a simple db library that makes defining a schema upfront optional . After all a schema is a constraint that can be set in stone later on, just like adding indices for optimisation purposes. Few q

So the first framework ever (Java Servlets) is still pretty much the fastest? I wonder what that says about where development is heading. In my previous project I've actually used straight servlets and found them quite RESTful and ele

3. ZenDesk based around customer support 4. Close.io based around sales leads Indeed it seems like the one-size-fits-all email client of today won't be around for long.

I've been wondering this for a while - is there a viable business model for email clients? Charging a small one-off fee isn't sustainable really. At the same time charging a subscription (like SaaS) is unheard of for email clien

Actually that's what MVC is supposed to be. Whether you use events, callbacks, delegates, or dirty checking really doesn't matter. Views inform the controller, controller updates the model. Events and Operations are the Control

I'm not too familiar with Couch, but as I understand it caches views and updates them. Does Pouch do something similar, or does the query function filter all the documents in the database?

To me this lesson is simply a reminder of the fact that business is all about sales. Just look at SalesForce. Best products don't always win. Business is about finding an arbitrage opportunity - build something for $X and sell it fo

I've felt like this many times in my career, especially when work gets hard. One thing I realized though is that one has to do what he does best. If it's selling a web-app - that's fine. Look at Elon Musk - he sold PayPal and then went o
