The Zapier founder's primary talent seems to be self-promotion (and they built a cool thing too). They've managed to land guest articles on Techcrunch, I heard they ask other new founders to mention Zapier on YC demo days, I have

Yes you're mocking someone who patiently explained an important point to you. If gone35 had talked about anything else in the same courteous tone would it have been OK to mock him? It's very simple, just don't mix professiona

If you're still using Backbone, then yes, there are better things out there, Meteor being one of them. Others include React, Angular and anything else in widespread use that came out less than half a decade ago.

I own a Fire HDX 7" and it is a pretty amazing tablet. The many apps that integrate with Google Play Service for no good reason, like a password manager like 1Password, is pretty depressing though. I can't get the latest version o

China has a pollution problem, but I think they're serious about trying to do something about it. The rampant corruption and restriction on press freedoms with regard to reporting on pollution doesn't help though.
