Very creative. The playing area is obviously a little small but the idea behind this is really interesting. Thanks for sharing.

It's not the best resume ever but a terrific example of using some creativity to make a connection. I'm surprised more people didn't take that away from this slide show. It's about hustle, creativity, putting yourself out there. The essence

I think the essence of what he is trying to say is very true, although his approach may be a little dramatic. Ultimately retention is about creating an environment that is pleasant for your employees. This means creating opportunity financi

I think many people felt Lion wasn't an improvement in speed or usability over the previous OS. Instead of respecting the differences between a desktop vs. tablet and building the absolute best system for each; it attempts to merge the two

Zurb and Bootstrap look very similar in many ways. However, bootstrap seems to be growing at a really fast pace and appears to have more elements and javascript plugins than Zurb Foundation. I think when picking a framework it's important t

In a sense you have built a portfolio of connections. You spent 4 years developing relationships, building your communication, and getting to know people in the industry. Your experience shows there are many ways to approach this but I woul

I would definitely spend time building & working on your portfolio. A portfolio is really a business card for any good freelancer. Your portfolio can even be a collection of github projects, there just need to be some real substance the

Not sure if it's their worst design ever, never the less pretty horrific. The color choices on this page make me cringe.

This is really upsetting for so many reasons. The intent to use these site designs took time and effort to implement. There had to be hours of time that they knew without a doubt they were stealing work they did not produce. To feign ignora

I created http://goalstacker.com to address this problem. It's not the list that kills you, its the list you can never finish that kills you. In order to be productive each day, its nice to have a small set of obtainable goals that you ca

I think there are a lot of people disagreeing with "Don't state the number first" but it's important to be open to new ideas. This article is meant to make you stronger and offer some new tricks in the negotiating process. You're certainly

I've tried this approach and others. I'm sure for some it can work but ultimately I found you can't cheat time. If you wake up at 5am by 2pm you toast (mentally at least). I've found no real secret to gain extra real hours. The reality is t

This reminds me of the book "Blink" by Malcom Gladwell. Something doesn't seem right and our instincts pick up on it way before we understand it. Communication is such an import part of business, relationships, and life. If there is a lack

I certainly don't have a hard time with that. Perhaps reread the comment I left. "unless they feel it will provide them some decent traffic and strongly support the product/company" Not sure you added anything to my previous comment.

A Tumblr blog may not be the best solution but spending that many resources on a blog (especially one not featured in the main navigation) is usually out of the question for most startups. For most startups the amount of time invested for a

There are some people that have both but it is extremely rare as the author points out. Being a hack or OK in design and development is not the same, many people can do that. I think he is pointing out the very small circle of extremely gif

I've been working for startups a long time (over ten years) and I have only met one person that I would consider a great designer and developer. I don't think it is because others aren't capable but rather aren't interested or forced to. Th
