I saw a demo of their stuff at Joel's stackoverflow.com tour in sf last year. They were a sponsor and were recruiting. I got a save the shire t-shirt, anyway, It's a really cool product. At least then they were going after defense and gover

Maybe the high school comment was not needed but making it easy to migrate to your service is always a good idea. This is when WordPress started to get real traction. Movable Type did something that pissed off a large number of their users

If you live in NYC I'm sure you can find somewhere nearby with free wifi in an emergency. If you don't want a one year contract why don't you get the company to sign up for a verizon wireless card and use that. If they go under it's not you

If you just want to host some bug tracking software then I don't suppose it matters if you use 32 or 64 OS. Though, frankly I would look to someone else to host and maintain that kind of stuff so you can concentrate on development. I also n

They are nice if you have the extra cash (or want a nice write-off) but I am not sure a $800-1000k Aeron's marginal utility over a $300-400 chair is really worth the extra cost. Also, if you tend not to sit still and must wear dress pants a

These interviews are getting really really good. I listened to the one with Jon Staenberg the other day and found it really interesting and inspiring. Andrew really does his homework too. Jon at one point asked him if he was James Lipton. I

Find mentors - start by surrounding yourself with smart people who write lots of code and smart people who run businesses of their own. Write lots of code, ship/push often. Repeat.

I dont think they made it harder. In the old model it took a putty knife to open - now you just have two screws.

You are comparing a game that came out in 2005 for seven platforms - counting mobile - with one that came out in 98 for PCs/Macs. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty_2 ) I think the game market in general was smaller then. A better

Starcraft sold 9.5 million copies worldwide over the last 10 years. 1.5 million in 98 alone. (According to wikipedia at least) that is a lot of Starcraft players that could be eager for the new game. I know at least one person that pre-orde

http://www.fogcreek.com/kiln/ has almost all the features mentioned and they are really really useful. Free for up to two users with the students and startup discount. The free link takes a bit of digging to find if I remember correctly.

Oh no, I had better give magicbeef.com a makeover and get on the stick here. I came up with the idea over a few coronas. Execution makes all the difference though, does it not?

Take the loans. Get the education at the better school. You need to be near your peers. There is no substitute for this. I went to what was a "commuter school" and lived off campus and I deeply regretted that distance and lack of community.

100k will give them more time to work on this comfortably after the initial release. It's an ambitious project and 100k is still chump change - they should raise as much as possible now. Maybe they won't need to ever take VC funding later o

This was one of my favorite interviews so far. There was a nice back and forth. In some interviews I have seen Andrew and jl do interviews where the guests are allowed to ramble for too long on a particular topic. This interview has a very
