   Interested to see the results from this, I know we use open source like crazy.

   Interesting stuff. Not quite sure who the pricing is geared at --- companies that have a project and want to promote it / grow it?

   Absolutely! Open source or closed source :)

   Applied for software developer position at Top Hat ( https://tophat.com ). Ended up getting hired as their 2nd employee. Worked there for 5 years, after being promoted to VP Engineering and eventually Chief Architect. Saw the comp

   Hard to believe but most of the engineers I've worked with were actually adults, and didn't need to be treated like children.

   Docker is still pretty bleeding edge, and was never designed to work with Mac OS X or Windows from the get-go. The fact that the proposed experience for OS X and Windows is so good is a testament to how hard the community and the Docker t

    > I've only ever heard of startup used to refer to a new business that hopes to become extremely scalable. I think the recent popularization of the Facebook story, Google rise to dominance, and Apple's romanticized origin story

    Asana is a wonderful tool and it keeps getting better. I think this is more of an investment in the team and the future opportunity than it is in the current tool. There's a long road ahead! On a sidenote, we're working on a proje

    Out of curiosity, would it be possible to be able to do async actions without side effects?

    Superagent has flaws. It doesn't support promises out of the box unfortunately :(

    Sounds great, there's obviously a huge market for this. Just don't be seduced by the dark side. Be honest with how accurate your tools are. The results will speak for themselves.

    THIS There's a few other startup grant opportunities out there but they're mostly province dependent and not very accessible. What you're proposing is more of a startup incentive than an R&D incentive though. Not saying i

    If it's really so concerning, then perhaps the technology should be made a bit more difficult to thwart. This extension is simply changing the Referer request header.

    Sam seems so wise, even for somebody so young! Everything he writes is a pleasure to read. Calm, considered, sometimes controversial, but always worth digesting.

    I always conduct exit interviews in person (how on earth would it be possible to conduct an exit interview anonymously !?). Often I have to press and poke and ask the same question 10 different ways before I actually get to the real meat o

    Calling this an "operating system" just seems like misdirection from the actually cool problem of visualizing distributed systems. I mean the whole thing about the Metaverse is that it's simply a vivid realization of what&#x2

    Docker's design makes it incredibly easy --- or at least it makes it difficult to treat your backing services NOT like attached resources, therefore forcing you into some sort of 12factor-esque design. There's no magic to "ba

    Firstly, don't be ashamed of your acqui-hire - that's a hard thing to pull off and you should be proud that you didn't fall over like 99% of all startup companies do. Secondly, take some time for yourself. Assuming the terms

    Seems like a very logical move. First we get stable CoreOS updates, now we have private Docker index built-in.
