Planet Money had a wonderful episode recently about a boy who's been selling truffles out of the back of his car since he was 15: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2016/11/04/500726210/epis

Quick question: this refers heavily to Flexbox, which as someone who has only a tangental interest in CSS, I don't know much about. Is it the standard way of doing positioning now? Care to explain it like I'm 5?

This is a great point. Tesla is, to me, fundamentally a battery company.

Excellent podcast so far. If you're just getting started, here are the ones I'd recommend checking out first: 1) Instagram - probably of the most interest to this community 2) Clif Bar - this one is really interesting to understan

This is a really great point that I wrestled with. I think you have to remind yourself that sometimes, everyone gets so busy and caught up doing the work that they forget these other parts. Would it have been better to do this proactively?

This couldn't have come at a better time, as I just navigated this last week. I kind of disagree with most of what the author is saying. Here's why. The author posits that you've begun looking for a new job for a reason. Ther

The hallmark of being owned by private equity is slashes t every controllable expense, running supremely lean and generally aligning with short term rewards. Private equity groups don't make money from holding businesses, typically. Th

Love this tutorial. Michael is one of the best teachers I've encountered. It's such a great tutorial that I hesitate to ask, but I'm not the biggest fan of the Cloud9 IDE stuff that was added in the later versions, though. An

This is just the cost of progress. If every imperfect piece of technology didn't ship, we'd have no technology at all.

Agreed. I've lost work before due to this behavior. Granted, I should be more diligent with saving my work.

That's really an incredible story, and I doubt that it exists in a vacuum. I'd really like to see a piece about companies like yours and others that were impacted heavily by algorithm changes. The part that probably bothers me the

It's no wonder that Apple is becoming increasingly pushy about updates on iOS. I've noticed in the last few months that the new pop-up options are to either "remind me later" (and it absolutely will) or "update now.

The stories he describes with the Google algorithm impacting his traffic (and subsequently, bottom line) is pretty scary. A rephrased quote from Matt Cutts on an algorithm change cutting MetaFilter's traffic: "Oh yeah, it never re

One of my favorite podcasts, Hidden Brain, had a great episode this week about "Grit", which one of the researchers defined as "passion and perseverance for long-terms goals." "The thing that was revelatory to me wa

Uber is an interesting company for a number of reasons, but here's the part that interests me the most: Uber operates in a grey-area legal environment in the cities it operates in. Uber's defense / view on this is that they g

All of these complaints seem to really be picking up steam. Would be really interested to hear from an Apple employee what the inside talk is like.

Startups love slack and I don't think that's changing anytime soon. Big companies... Well, I can't imagine VP's in corporate America hopping on Facebook to message their direct reports. Microsoft has a pretty good footh

I agree with you. I'm troubled though by this new era of customer service where the focus is on having a team of people who monitor social media for the loudest complaints and devote resources to solving those out of fear of bad PR.

With all due respect, your customer service policy should be based on doing the right thing regardless of the forum, as opposed to simply responding to those who have an audience. The data caps you've recently put into place in my mar

And they are. Android versus iPhone, Nexus versus Galaxy, etc. If I hire someone to cut down a tree on contract, I can't dictate their tool of choice - only that it complies with what's necessary to complete the work. There are pl

Seth Godin said something really similar, and I've drawn on it during periods of writer's block many times: >No one ever gets talker's block. No one wakes up in the morning, discovers he has nothing to say and sits quietly

I think if you're a driver, an up to date phone is a business expense. The latest version of the app doesn't require the latest phone - just enough space.

Evernote is such a great idea and in its early stage, it showed a lot of promise as the "trapper keeper" of all things digital. But as time went on, the client became bloated and there were weird products like Evernote Food that w

I'm as much of an Elon fan as anyone, but scheduling this SpaceX event and the Tesla earnings call coincidentally shows that there's some growth needed in terms of corporate governance.
