Beautiful and useful website that I look forward to come back to. I, however, thought that the "RottenTomatoes for Books" was Amazon. In what is this site different?

As with most things in life, you can't control what morons are doing. However, you can control how it affects you. For instance: - Chrome asks you if you want to ignore dialog boxes after a couple ones pop. - There are excellent "Download

Yeah.. I felt like Dropbox was easy to figure out how to make money (I.e. pay for storage). However, what seemed impossible was, "There's already x,y,z competitors in the field with years in advance..." And now, look at them :)

This is so hard to say that as a founder. You've went through all the YC programs, see lots of friends/startups succeed, you keep hearing things like "Never give up".. but there's come a point where "You see things from a new perspective" a

924, and continuing. That'll make a nice karma average. We see clearly the revenge of the PHP dumpshit.

Wow, I went from 999 to 964.. that's 35 down-votes! This is insane, but not surprising coming from PHP folks. (Too serious to laugh, too stupid to switch, too stubborn to think, too old to learn, amen.)

I went from 999 to 992. I guess I should have kept my mouth shut, but it was worth it. But tbh, I have nothing against PHP; it was just a joke.

Well Git is simply great. It's fast, it's powerful, there's a very helpful community, it's integrated everywhere, there are well made and useful online repository (Yes Github, but others too), the list goes on and on. Yes, there are bazaar,

PHP should switch to Django instead.

Hahaha, I have to admit that I've wasted too much time playing with the 8bit social beatbox. (Our Starwars Theme Song rocked though!)

In my opinion, the most important concept to understand is "Timing windows". Vs a equally skilled player, you can't have all the advantages. Understanding the imbalances of a current situation - and taking advantage of it - is really what

So much stuff can be learned from sc/sc2 to apply in your life. Things from accepting defeat and understanding your mistakes, to know how to fight strategically. (By fight I mean it in a very vague way; Fight for a girl, Fight for a new j

I browse hacker news and reddit/r/starcraft each day.. I love when an article appears on both :) A perfect mix between hacker -ness and gamer- ness.

tl;dr: Just give them the same slides/documents that you'd give an investor who doesn't ask for the business plan. (And, a VC asking for a 30 pages business plan might not be what you're looking for.)

I feel backbone.js is a great base to build a custom mvc framework on top of it. However, for simple projects, I find it to be to heavyweight. I.e. it's really hard to have nested collections (You have to rebind all events). Views could giv

Suggestion to improve the article: Give a visual example of each mixin. Otherwise, thanks for the article!

I could hardly believe that the author of the book designed that blog.. I mean, who would like to buy a book about design with such an ugly look and feel and 1990 taste. Ironically, even the white spaces are wrong :-/ IMO, it's way better

Hmm, it's more.. I can do it in x hours the best way I know of; or I can do it in y hours by writing crappy code. So, at the end, if you tell your client that 10 hours is not enough to build a quality software but he still insist, well, it'

It's freaking that there's a backbone.js section in it. Am I the only one on earth who doesn't like this library ?!

How do you cope with self motivation? To who do you talk to when you have problems, or questions, or feel like just throw everything away to get a 100k job? To be a single founder, do you need to be as good in the marketing/business side th

I ♥ where it's going! "Nhaa, I won't use a statically typed language.. I prefer javascript with coffeescript syntax. But, I'll use contracts and tests to make it robust." Hands down, it's great and I'll definitely use it. Also +1 to be able

If you're paid per hour and your client want you to take the less possible time. It's stupid; I agree. You can try argue with him/her about the importance of it, but in the end, it's their money so it's their choice.

And, when it does happen, you thanks yourself for the times you thought it was unnecessary tests, but still wrote them to be safe.

Thanks for the guide. If I might suggest another small gem that beginners would appreciate, is a way to copy text with a mark. I.e. ma go to the end y`. It may be easier than vwwwwwwww y or something similar.

Oh, and the surround plugin is so useful.. something I tend to do a lot is: viws' : viw "highlight the current word" and s' surrounds it with ''. *Soooooo* useful. You can also do yiws' but I like to see what

Actually "cw" doesn't change the current word.. it changes where the cursor is to the end of the word. Something I tend to use a lot is: (| is the cursor) ciw (Really change the current word. "Fo|o Bar" -> "| Bar" ci" (Change in

Things a company will ask you to know is a megaframeworks. Else, it's a micro or simply framework. Obviously, I'm not serious here; but there's some truth in it. I.e. You'll see some companies ask for django or rails developers; not for fla
