Another one is to tell the user the email is used in order to send lost passwords.

True! Adsense works only if visitors are coming from google (in search mode... they end clicking because there are a lot of chances they didn't found what the were looking for so - adsense to continue navigation), or if you have a site with

Worse of that, this crazy acquisitions game makes it hard for a startup with a saner plan to succeed. A startup aiming to create a good product and try to survive the old-nice-way charging for it needs to compete with rivals that are not tr

"being part of Google could be a lot of fun" I'm tired to read this sentence again and again. The Google culture from the outside is disturbing.

100% agreed, but maybe I'm a bit biased since I'm using mod_ruby + eruby even to build applications, instead of rails.

Maybe they use PHP like a better version of server side includes. For this RoR is probably an overkill.

Given that Flickr is written in PHP, Delicious in Perl, Reddit in Python, Foo in Bar, I think that unless you are using something like Java or C++ that really will make you 5 times slower in the development process it does not really matter

Yes, btw... if an application is good quality for the customers who cares what language they used?

Actually the easter egg only works if the given page is interpreted as PHP.

Perhaps it's possible to mix this two things to get something like: ruby { .... ruby code defining stuff ... } attrib: @stuff Self contained, not a new language, able to define stuff relative to other stuff.

First: you did the work just one time, it's a 10 lines of code function :) Second: I use only a CSS, and only a JS file, it takes a lot of sense because the client will cache them both the first time, so even without include it's ok most of

Don't like this design binding CSS stuff and application vars, I could use as alternative a function that gets a CSS++ and turns it into a CSS, so that the CSS remains self contained. Something like this: @define companyred #ff5000 @define

Well... depends, my startup is around position 20 in this listing about unique visitors / month but still I'm not rich ;) It is probably related to the nature of the deal we did and the fact our user base is in Italy, but what I mean is tha

The term programmer makes me thinking "we need 100 programmers to meet our deadline!"... stupid concepts like working_code=num_programmers x time and in general that programmers are easily interchangeable. Developer is much better and is ab

IMHO the best thing to do is to take a cheap housing. Here in Italy where prices are much higher than in the USA you can get a decent host with a big disk, few GB of ram, 1Mbit of guaranteed bandwidth for 100 EUR / month, including the pric

Actually to handle security is very hard. I think startups usually can't handle security as a process because time is little, stress in implementing features high and so on, so the best founders can do is probably to have security-aware pro

Good point, but with ajax this is very common. There are also frameworks that abstract "params" into GET+POST+COOKIES, since they are all under user control in theory the security level is the same, but actually the img trick changes this.

Well.. it's not so hard to avoid this kind of bugs. In web applications the basic rules are the following: - Use something able to auto-escape SQL queries, unlike things done at hand like with PHP mysql_escape_string() - Check user input _a

Great, this gives me a much more solid idea about your company :) Since I'm very affected by the email-suck problem (in this exact moment my gmail account displays 1705 new emails in inbox, I no longer press the archive button in order to o

In Italy Ikea is very cheap _but_ considered cool. The smart single living in Milano will have ikea furniture, and so on. About Aerons and several screens, again this does not match the EU hacker, that mostly uses a single screen (Quake pla

For an Italian it is very hard to understand how it is possible that the kind of advertising Google, Xobni, and other companies do in order to attract employers can actually work. I mean, to have something to drink it's ok... and even the c

I hate PHP, but I use it in my startup for three projects (sorry, for the fourth we are switching to Ruby but without rails, just mod_ruby), and actually without PHP my startup that is now working well and is profitable could not be here at

I was reading this stuff with interest, then: "A C programmer, by contrast, can't do anything useful except as a member of a team". Don't you think this statement is a bit too strong?
