> web apps are the great savior that abstract away all the device fragmentation. I'm not sure if you are trying to be serious or not with this. Do you really believe this is true today? That you can build a mobile experience using HTM

From the article: "I experienced minimal complications when using Safari on both the iPhone and iPad" minimal complications is a euphemism for "Any normal user would throw the thing against the wall in frustration." To me this is just f

I'm such a closet typography geek. I'll pretty much upvote any HN post having to do with analyzing fonts. The "depth" of the art and science of typography has always fascinated me. For example when I learned that TrueType etc... actually ha

At some point, as a manager, you put your own career/reputation on the line. It is important to remember we are discussing outliers here. 4s & 5s represent 20% of the company. My blog post does not impact that other 80% really at all,

Author here. This is the point where I have my biggest beef with the Microsoft system. I was fortunate to have worked in and managed several groups that were CLEARLY exceptional. One team I built was built from the ground up and EVERYONE I

Author here. I was a PM for a great part of my 21 years at Microsoft. I'm quite sure I am "spectacularly" oversimplifying things. That was intentional. Here's the problem, related to this specific post, which is about mediocre reviews: A SD

We use Bootswatch and are really pleased with the results (www.milelogr.com). It appears to be broken with BS 2.1, but i haven't taken the time to see what broke.

Microsoft will make & sell, maybe 5M Surface units in the first 12 months. Maybe. Who's going to make & sell the other 345M PCs that are sold every year. This talk of Microsoft becoming a hardware company is crazy talk with no under

One of my favorite sayings: Ideas are worthless. Execution is everything. Getting people to pay for what you executed on is more everything. If there are 1000 people who are 'idea people', 100 of them can execute on an idea; actually buil
