Become an angel investor. Help startups grow. Share knowledge. Provide relief from those who don't know or understand how to really make a startup work. And, ideally, make more money.

The article is perspicuous with this disclosure. We certainly provide services to bootstrapping entrepreneurs and I suppose it would be in my personal best interest to encourage more folks to start bootstrapping a startup. I don’t think fo

It also seems far from certain that this was a "hookup." I go to "meetups" and talk to mostly men. Does this make me gay AND soliciting? (the answers are NO and NO, just to be extra clear!)

I read him because I get a little smarter each time I read one of his posts.

I think the point is exactly that these precise definitions should just be thrown out. The goal is to make something people want (or, at least, that they will pay for). Making distinctions about where bugs come from, who reports them, when

I disagree. I think the massive innovation on the Internet is due to the fact that it's easy to see the code for everything (HTML, CSS, Javascript). Flash (and Silverlight, etc.) are all attempts to hijack the Internet as we know it. They d

Is it really this easy? Has anyone done it? Are these for sale anywhere?

Having a highly skilled and productive co-founder is a huge asset. Nobody is perfect and living 3000 miles away doesn't seem like a deal-breaker (not even close). Effort (and appearances) are not the same thing as results. It's possible you

Does your app have much UI? When you say "IMHO", does this mean you think it's OK that it doesn't feel like a native application? Or, have you been able to overcome the issues that make the typical Java app feel clunky?

No matter how cool the Mac and Cocoa are, it is really difficult to start a new development project without having any kind of a pathway to Windows (and Linux). This may be just the thing to get me over the hump of fear, uncertainly and dou

It is important to get yourself out of this situation as soon as possible. It's depressing, you're not learning as much as you could, you're (probably) learning bad habits. Seppuku is not the right answer. How about a new project, a new job

The ability to understand and explain the 'big picture' of security that Obama displays in this comment is certainly confidence inspiring. To me, at least!

It creates a culture of nonsense. How can a message based on facts get through this noise?

It is a clever test, albeit a bit deceptive.

This is for the "On-Demand" version, which is hosted and costs $25/user/month, not the standalone version.

I don't think this was a waste of time at all. In fact, I was thrilled to read about exactly who made some of these predictions. Especially the analyst who based his "projections" on a false rumor. Accountability is a good thing. All the

I use git because the low-level design is rock-solid and simple enough for me to understand. I also like distributed version control for the work alone and on a team aspect. This does not mean git is easy to use or that I'm even very good

Irreplaceable is good. It means that person is a superstar. Keep them happy (and safe!). One danger I have seen manifest itself when splitting code up into well defined areas is that participation in the code base as a whole drops significa

Coverage may not be gospel, but it is a useful and interesting metric. I do see coverage data abused in practice often, though, so I agree with your sentiment.

It sounds like you are ready to launch. I can't imagine walking away after your site is ready and before it even launches! a) See it through the launch. Send your post to your co-founder. Try an forget about "effort" and "sacrifice". Is he

This is what I would expect from AT&T, Verizon or Comcast, not a company like GoDaddy. It's so hard to know who to trust.

It seems to me that the root cause to the computer models failing was that the government stepped in to "help." Once government requirements were put in place, I can only imagine the level of red tape required to make changes to what was a

I was a manager for many year and ran into this situation. I tried many techniques and found that: 1) My company really likes people to get along. It was very difficult to promote and pay my star developer more. 2) It did have a huge impact

...aren't people supposed to listen to their boss? You're kidding, right? Being a manager of really smart people that can easily move jobs is not easy.

Physical devices is one reason. Doing firmware updates is impossible with a web app. It might seem like a small thing, but look at how well Apple is using iTunes and QuickTime to create a beechhead in Windows. (QT needs graphic card and a

HN is the perfect place to find people like this/us. I'm not saying I want to see HN become a job board. But, this sure looks like a credible and serious request to me.

There is no way I would hire him. You hire test engineers to find bugs. Just because a bug is found does not always mean it will get fixed (for many reasons). This can be very upsetting. But, it is a reality of development. The last thing I

Can you put "(old)" or something in the title if the article isn't new? I almost always like these articles, but then feel silly when I realized that it's 2-3 years old and that I've read it before.

Two days after a product release or for a long standing problem that you could not get resolved?
