Not everyone lives in a major metropolitan area where programmers are thrown money like there's no tomorrow.

I've started a makerspace in my home town and, while it's not profitable at this point, someday I may make a stipend for all the hours I pour into it. Building the space got me the opportunity recently to be a foreman on a large i

If you definition is loose, then you could probably say that. Generally though, using a TDD approach would result in some form of a test suite that can be used to continually assert the correctness of a program. Personally I attempt to writ

Almost every point for or against TDD in this thread is based on factors that go beyond TDD itself. Many seem to have a bad taste in their mouths from experiencing bad tests, for whatever reason. Often this is a result of programmers who ha

Dropbox has know about it for quite some time. I complained about the same issue over a year and a half ago and I regularly have to kill Dropbox. Obviously they are some tough technological problems, but that's only an excuse for so lo

Honestly, get a job. What has taught me most about programming is having new problems to solve that required new skills, techniques and tools. The best way to "fund" your development is to find someone who will pay you to solve th

I get that it would be (mostly) great from a business perspective but much less so from a users standpoint. Email is a sacred medium. It is an archive of conversation and if messages were able to be modified that essential behavior would go

A service like this would be much appreciated from the market. I can imagine the challenges are convincing banks to signup and to convince them of the value of a service that isn't directly consumer facing. If they had a few key early

Curious idea. Signed up to see what you're planning.

I'm going to agree on your point as well. Designing with things like WordPress, Tumblr, etc become a major pain quickly. Especially considering the speed at which you can design with a bare rails app.

An engine would make some sense. I'd be interested in collaborating if you decide too: https://github.com/danawoodman

My company is considering the same thing. It's just too much of a pain using other tools, especially in regards to design. It could be said that for a consultancy, your marketing/blog is a core part of your business, so having a h

If by epic you mean a great way for a twenty-something to travel for free in the guise of raisin money and get some publicity for himself (and G+ to boot), then yes, it is epic. I'm sure he'll then use the documentary and sure-to-

Just signed up, sounds like a great idea. However, it would be nice to know what your planning on charging for it. Good sales page too, way to address problems that relate to the business rather than focusing on technology. Looking forward

Just like Facebook "stole" the idea of a social network?

It seems to me that most points made here are caused by A) a lack of understanding of the benefits of such tools, and B) an unwillingness to adapt existing code to the new toolkits. It seems an unfair criticism of a pre processor if you&#x2

Allowing a user to suspend their subscription may cause them to not full on cancel. Then you can ping them in a few months to remind them you exist. Possibly offer a discount for a month or two as a reward for reactivating.

I have to ask; why are you building a hosting company? Did you identify some unfulfilled need in the market? Have you identified and cultivated your early customers? If you don't have answers to these questions I strongly recommend not

Pretty sure it's impossible to stay awake for 100 hours without some serious drugs. Good luck either way!
