   I find that what I take the # of GitHub watchers to mean (i.e. the popularity of a project) is better surfaced by the number of downloads on RubyGems.org, at least for gems. Better yet, RubyGems collects that information without any user in

    I know non-technical founders get a lot of flak on HN, but working with one, if you're looking to build a track record, can be a great learning experience. If you limit your involvement to building prototypes (Android, iPhone, RoR) , you c

    I've noticed this habit in personal emails about startup-related chitchat. It could be unique to the tech scene that we all unconsciously reuse in order to self-identify. I'd be curious to see if data can back this up as a trend. What about
