Still, you need to be way more qualified to build a successful SaaS or anything interesting on the internet. To build an iPhone app all you need is an Objective-C book, a mac, and $100.

"I wish there was one straight-forward way to build awesome applications on the web like there is with mobile development. I want someone to hold my hand the whole time." On the internet, you keep 100% of the revenue you bring in. On the in

Interesting that Shark Tank can take 5% equity or 2% royalty regardless. More than a handful of companies did extremely well after appearing on the show despite no investment. They did well due to the exposure, and cashed in on it. Clearly

Which, if we are taking responsibility for "what we say and do," then the focus really is back on Adria because she decided to make a big deal out of nothing. Sure, PlayHaven fired this dude. But guess what? Their employee was being marked

Its not irony because the incident discussed here isn't sexism, its attention whoring. What you said was blatant.

I can't even really disagree with anything you said. I guess to me the rub is - can this service disruption be enough to grab enough of the existing marketshare to be relevant? Another way to think about it is, it still can't be valued at m

Agreed on all points. However, I do think you are over-estimating the value of online service booking. Any existing maid service that already has the customer base and cleaning teams could hire a web developer to make a booking function for

Exec makes scheduling an appointment easy. The problem you've described sounds more like "trying to find the right service." The only way Exec would solve the problem you describe is if it tapped into all local maid service's schedules and

I fail to see the draw here, maybe someone can explain it to me. Generally, Exec is building a match making and scheduling service. They are taking cleaners/maids (which it sounds like they dont employ directly?) and matching them up with p

Integration with Amazon is like the holy grail for Bitcoins. I can only imagine there are regulatory reasons Amazon doesn't accept bitcoins as direct payment.

you should have checked github first. I'm using dotfiles that allows me to hjkl by tea-bagging, which requires less precision than my "stylus". Its called "dotmynuts," and its really active - 400 pull requests in the last 10 minutes.

Nothing says "I've replaced VIM" like needing an X-11 server to edit a text file.

You, but whatabout a laymen user who doesnt care ehat your justifications are? They want people to build snappy mobile web apps. This creates competition and legitimacy for them

If I was his manager reading this, I would bring him in for a 1:1 to determine what truly motivated him to write such a worded diatribe. Best case scenario he doesn't understand how multiple audiences would react to it and assumed only deve

You might not be 22, full of idealism and hope for the future, completely distracted by high profile start up capital and valley life style. As someone who was recently interviewing in SF, I find that the younger "nothing but my bike and my

If you can't draw upon your past mistakes, or techniques that have failed for you before, you shouldn't be mentoring. Put more positively, use your experience to guide others.

Minecraft can suck hours away without even trying. That's all I'm saying. Foosball or ping pong fill that same void.

Most of those look like online retailers and not iaas or compute services companies. No one builds services like amazon. They aren't interested in bolting on someone else's idea company.

You clearly come from a rails background. I would even go as far to say that "many design from the UI backwards" is extremely true in the Rails crowd (I would know). This level of thinking create monolithic, poorly organized, unstable appli
