I don't think I've ever heard Growth Hacking used in the sense you described. I'm sure someone has, but I nearly always see it in the sense of "tricks to increase user acquisition or conversion."

I don't think this is a tech industry specific thing. In a previous career in sales, all the conferences and events ended each night with a boozefest. The most common way to celebrate a sale was... to go out drinking. Friends that ar

I think this is just a general reflection of modern (internet) culture. It's easier to get "internet points" (read: facebook likes, twitter retweets, etc) by being snarky than it is by being positive.

Heh, funnily enough, it scrolls with one finger on the beta iOS. Although, I think they may have changed that in a previous safari update.

"Just stop" sounds like a warning to me. Olav's comment about google plus and mailing lists suggest to me that Felipe has been on a crusade about this topic and using and soap box he could find. As any sort of community or project admin, th

Hmm. I also took from it that the man should just go spend time doing something other than gossiping. Say a task that would take a long time, like gathering the feathers. (ie. you can be less transparent by spending your time doing rather

> "give me the money and trust me" That's basically the inverse of my attitude when I back a kickstarter. I generally support what they're doing, believe that they are going to try and make the thing they said, and then just trust that

I think that there were a lot of players that were frustrated when they made a character offline, and then got invited to play with a friend on battle.net and had to start from scratch. I assume that frustration was part of the reason (amon

I believe it. All it takes is one higher up executive to pick a launch date and mandate that it happens, damn the torpedoes. This says nothing about the competence of the engineers and their managers in the trenches. I mean, you could quest

I tend to think that better discussion in a forum like this comes about with less back and forth. That's not to say that alternating comments on opposite sides of a viewpoint can't be enlightening, but I think it's stronger if those viewpo

You know, I went to look at a new project on sourceforge, thinking I'd quickly prove you wrong. (I don't know why I still have any faith in sourceforge.) Guess what happened? I clicked on TWO SEPARATE ADS with a download now image in them

The point isn't to replace X. It's to learn more about X and Y.

I think the part where your stylist first tries to talk you out of the (in their opinion) bad idea is the important part. I've built plenty of things for clients that I thought were of dubious value, but I always tell them my concerns and p

This is going to really depend on your state and your needs. Many states add some rules to the providers, often to your benefit. If you have any pre-existing conditions, having continuos coverage is really important in many states, as it pr

Yeah. We use google apps, dropbox, unfuddle, GitHub, hipchat, Linode and amazon. Basically, we're pretty comfortable trusting our business with these companies. We're not in a space where we have secrets that really would give someone a com

On the mac, at least, I've found the AIR client is really, really good. I haven't really run into any of the issues you mentioned and have been using it daily for several months. And my coworkers really love the web client. And some use x

I mean, I can give you the reasons that I have a hipchat account which I use with my coworkers, even though a good 50% of us are also on IRC for other purposes. 1) It proved to be a pain supporting the non-techies using IRC 2) Nobody wanted

I was coming here to say this as well. Made me think this was just a poorly written plugin that didn't work in my browser.

At least one feature is still locked out in the betas. ;). And it's pretty cool. Zack is going to give me a heart attack with the design though.

Silly or not, it's the only search engine name other than google or bing that sticks in my head as being memorable. Probably because it is silly and different. I guess my only complaint would be that it feels long to type because it is thr

> Oh a 15 year old, how cute. > I don't mean to discourage you at all, just let the product speak and not your age. C'mon, really? I'm much more interested in the story of a 15-year old developer creating and publishing something, t

They said it doesn't improve between releases. As opposed from from release to release.

Interesting. I've done a fair amount of coding without syntax highlighting, particularly on live web servers ( gasp ) without my vimrc. What I find is that I don't really rely on syntax highlighting for find my way around the code or under

They decide that the cost is not worth the benefit. Excluding back-seat systems engineers on sites like this, I suspect that most of their customers will be a bit upset, but give them the benefit of the doubt and be glad to pay slightly les

This would be a lot stronger argument without the ad hominem bits. He's obviously not so terrible if he created this thing that has people so up in arms. I think there's something to your post, but the tone makes me want to dismiss it. I

I got an email a few days ago from Amazon suggesting that I should upgrade my code if I was using one of their several payment code examples. I'm assuming this is in response to some responsible disclosure having happened. Sent me to: htt

I suspect that for most people in the US their first meal at McDonalds was purchased by their parents. And they probably know quite a few people in real life that would endorse McDonalds.
