   I think the underlying point in all of this is just that "smart and gets things done" isn't something someone can be trusted to observe about themselves. The example he gives about FizzBuzz in the Lambda Calculus is perfect. If you're trul

   Also another question along this topic: How bad is "not native feeling" for UX? As a poor self-funded "I just need to launch this" wantrepreneur, do I care? I happily used the HTML5 Facebook app on iOS without any notice of its performanc

   Judging by the downvotes and this reply I think I made a mistake in making whether or not it's meant to be humorous the focus of my question. It seems like it should be intuitive that grammar mistakes == bad conversion, but I'd love to see

    I applaud what you're trying to do, but I think you hit the nail on the head in your last sentence. You need more iteration in order to find something that sets you apart. I wouldn't contribute to this kickstarter because I don't see anyt

    I'm not sure how they're handling variance in user perspective, but assuming they've got that figured out, if you were to couple this with a stereo vision setup and some form of haptic feedback a lot of companies doing 3D design (both CAD a
