I really like your post, I commented it http://danieltenner.com/posts/0005-starting-up-with-a-friend... . But even then, I'd say that I read 80% of it (most time, I read less than 50%). I just said to myself why not cut the post to have a

I'm testing small posts. Not everybody has the time to read a long post with infinite details about a story when the conclusion is "you lose the grand scheme of what you’re building" and that you sometimes should "wipe your entire work".

I don't want to start a war but I'd say that this list is about the differences between a Windows VS Linux developer. The thing behind what is said is "get your eyes off of the nice UI. Look and type code".

It's great but it won't solve the problem that programmers can't design. I did the error hundred times to think that nice colors generates nice websites but in fact, colors should be the last detail in designing. Layout should be king. But

Linux has been ready for a long time, it's just that people are not ready. Just look at Vista. It's more user friendly than XP, still, people don't want to switch. They learned XP for 5 years and they now understand its small flaws. It was

We once made a demo for our product in front of maybe a hundred people and everything went wrong. Our live system was down, our backup system was not working and we didn't have the right codecs for the videos. Sometimes the Gods of demo d

There's a false sense of security with contracts in general. A lot of people tend to think that because it is written, they are safe. Forget about it, you still have to sue! Entrepreneurs are supposed risk-takers and not signing a NDA is a

We all know an idea is worth nothing until it's turned into a product. Maybe Darwin didn't invent evolution but he turned it into a product (a book) and sell it to people. That's why the unknown farmer who maybe got the idea before him shou

I don't like the principle behind the dog food. It means that you create a product good for dogs but not humans. Something not made for you. Then, when you start eating it, you improve it to a level being acceptable to you, a human. I like
