This blog piece is not a taxonomy. A real taxonomy would provide sample taxa living or stuffed in formaldehyde. At most, this piece is just a literary exercise that provides no solutions for the imaginary problems it suggests. I would defin

The grammar was atrocious. There were too many grammatical errors to list here, but for God's sake please use a grammar check. Paul Graham's grammar is perfect and yours should be, too.

Tools are designed for certain requirements. As the commenter, antimagic, noted, these requirements can conflict. A better tool would definitely have to sort out those conflicts, but at this point we're talking about something like AI.

There's also a huge cost in supporting subscribers. I worked at 2 startups that supported subscriptions, and at least 50% of support was just around that. No subscribers at this point means keeping support costs the same instead of dou

How is driving similar enough to coding? You can take 2 coding projects and the times for a team to complete them and their estimates will differ wildly. Commuting on the 280 to Palo Alto from San Francisco is 45 minutes on average. There i

If two comapanies look like they are doing the same thing and one fails and one succeeds, I'd have to conclude that there wasn't enough measurement (lean startup measurement) to make apparent the difference.

Yes, I think a podcast would work for commuters who are coders - definitely the right form factor.

Right now it seems there's a great interest in building mobile apps, even if they are just web based. Ideally, I'd like to use the time commuting to learn on a mobile device or tablet. This is exactly where existing systems like K

You are in the pride of lions. You do not know it yet. What many coders don't realize is how much power they actually have. You are the lion and the resources of the company are the gazelle. It's time to feast! It's really a good time to: 1

Ya, I've been the victim of "couldn't balance a B-Tree fast enough so you're not hired but you'll never see a B-Tree at work." You mention that there isn't a better solution. IMHO, I disagree. I think Github has figured out a way. They've b

Yes, Ebert was the only critic who could tell you how to improve as a film maker. His integrity was incorruptible. He knew things about film that none of the critics around today seem to know: a complete knowledge of films of the past, what

I think the point of the article is that it's not as bad, or their word, "Dickensian," as people think. The article is missing some hard numbers: how many are choosing the lifestyle? How many of those that do are engaging in criminal / disr

I disagree. If you keep a journal, life goes by just as fast at 30 as at 19. The key is definitely novel experiences. There's some research to back this up: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2228221/Scien...
