One of the cities this is popular in is San Francisco. And the data the article suggests is correct. If you don't have to worry about taking a car to park, you are more likely to spend more time in a local area with businesses availabl

My general advice to anyone reading the article: 1. Ensure the list of tips are easily accessible. (The advice will do nothing for you if you can't find it when you are making critical decisions.) Once you have solved the distribution

I think in some ways Microsoft lost its dominance by focusing on the wrong competition. Microsoft Bing is a great example of Microsoft trying to become a company it wasn't. (i.e. Google) In my perspective, Apple dialed in it's foc

I am a part of the young tech startups in SA and I would also suggest for anyone to come back or give it a look see. I transplanted from SF and find the playing field wide open for new opportunities.

In short, the "niche" service Uber provides fills a huge gap in the progress of ride sharing and the transportation industry across the U.S. When you take that into consideration, it is no longer a niche, but a big step forward to

Usually, the bigger the company, the more time is spent trying to get uninterrupted time to program. When the company is smaller you get as much time as you like to program. This is because there are a lot less people you have to communicat

Yes, you are right. I wish the article had more ways to tackle reducing churn. I know one way is to engage your customers to see if they would actually recommend your business to friends/colleague's. I amended my comment to better

This article is true for any business with paying customers. A great way to see how you can reduce customer churn and increase customer loyalty is actually asking if your customers would recommend your business to a friend or colleague. Sin

Write one test and use a CI rig to show how you can offload the testing in an automated fashion. (e.g. circleci.com, travisci.com, codeship.io, buildbox.io)

Writing unit tests do not slow work down. It actually makes time more efficient by ensuring working code continues to pass over time. This has huge returns in how a developer can now spend their time.

I want this but for that backer tiers you are now competing with other forms of green commuter transportation. (e.g. high performance bicycles, electric scooters, etc.) The price for being an early adopter I guess.

I really wish they could give more data on how they reached their median income stats. I realize they have no incentive to release that. Curious how Lyft and Sidecar measure up as well.
