   The biggest problem people have with Git is unlearning Subversion. 'git revert' is not 'svn revert,' 'git checkout' is not 'svn checkout,' etc - if you want to learn Git, leave everything you know about Subversion at the door and go in with

    I think he's saying "ignore what your users say, pay attention to what they do." User testing is seeing what they do, listening to suggestions on a forum is listening to what they say.

    GitX is just awesome, and getting better every day. You can currently stage and commit changes using the app, among other things (check out the 'committing' and 'advanced' screencasts on http://gitx.frim.nl/seeit.html ). Best of all: it's

    (1) Your "launch" should be introducing your premium version. In other words, the day you deploy your billing code should be the same day you leave beta. (2) Let everyone use the site for free in beta. What you lose in concrete revenue you

    For him, running `rake routes` prints 2500 lines of routes. This is not the same 2500 lines of code in routes.rb.

    The central theme of this book, to me: programming should be fun. Have fun. The Poignant Guide is how I learned Ruby and remains my favorite technical book. If you're at all curious about Ruby as a language, spend some time reading the firs

    I can reiterate this. Specifically, "I've been using this language for 5 years and never realized it was a powerful language. Holy shit."

    We hear so much about the technical advantages (speed, offline committing, instant branching, cherry picking, rebasing) that we often forget the real advantage of DVCS: the D. That this article starts with the technical advantages makes me

    I love how these slides clearly demonstrate the difference between UI and graphic design: the examples are bare bones yet highly functional.

    I've always suspected Vonnegut's classification under "fiction" rather than "science fiction" is a result of the way his books are written. The man's all style - he could pretty much write about any subject and I'd find it interesting.

    Converting over to a pure-Ruby solution has taken us weeks. If we had put forth this effort pre-launch, it would have either a) cost us integral features or b) pushed back the launch.
