I was the CEO/cofounder of Bloc, an online coding bootcamp. Our mentors started out as tutors but we eventually converted them all to employees and learned a lot about California labor law in the process. What was frustrating about the

There aren't any quasi-monopolies in the airline industry though, are there? I've always found it interesting that the airline industry is very competitive yet airlines haven't gotten any better or cheaper in decades.

Cool idea! We built a lot of internal tools at my last startup (bloc.io) because it was an operationally intensive business. I would have definitely tried this out. Your premise that most internal tools use the same building blocks seems ac

How did that come to be a best practice? I like titles with questions because they can frame the scope and objective of the article really well.

Are there many developers who make a living off of donations to their open source work? Curious about whether it's viable to build a career off of open source.

Think about the gold/white and blue/black dress. It's not as if one person thought the dress was blue and another thought it was more of a turquoise. Gold/white and blue/black are distinctly different colors and are

How would you use features like event listeners and other web APIs from client-side mruby? I guess this is a question about WebAssebly in general: does each language that gets ported over have to re-implement those APIs?

I like the category of "augmenting human skills". Google's Quick Draw is an example of augmented drawing, but you could use the same concept for writing, creating music, even programming. DeepFakes are basically the beginning

I was wondering the same thing. Some of these cases seem so brazen, like Carl Icahn dumping $30M of his steel-related stocks before Trump announced tariffs on steel. To me it seems so obvious that he had insider information, but he's n

The chart makes a pretty compelling case that this is the right answer. The top trending libraries are pandas, numpy, and matplotlib (both flask and django are probably trending at the same baseline rate of any top 10 popular language). The
