Profitability should be in the first set of items, imo. Don't leave potential or existing employees worried about your exit strategy. Enthusiasm wanes when they think you will jump-ship and leave them hanging to dry. In this day and age, do

I dev in Ruby also, but the features, stories, and scenarios in Cucumber can read fairly well, even if the step definitions make it tougher than it would appear to be. Agreed that Steak is simpler overall. Cucumber could have used the time

Steak does sound good. It's a lot harder to look at than cucumber, but it is self-contained and simple. http://github.com/cavalle/steak Talking about steak makes me hungry.

I've been in Java dev for a long time and am not starting my engines on it. It may still be where most of the jobs are, but I'd rather be where the jobs will be. I'm betting it will be a dynamic language, despite the arguments for stronge

I like the post. That said, I don't agree necessarily with generalizations (aka g13n's) about the beer industry. While microbreweries are definitely (by necessity) commonly more focused on selling local and often focused on brewing more of

I personally don't think the government should be doing this, and our national debt is just outrageous as well as the health care plan, etc. The U.S. may be partially socialist already, but we don't need to make government any bigger. Howev

Good API design is such a broad topic (because there are a wealth of programming languages and ways you can communicate with systems and code) that you're not going to find one that probably suits you without being more specific. Lets assum

So the "Great Recession" can be fixed with more socialism? No thanks. Hasn't anyone learned anything recently? Spreading the wealth does not help productivity. And countries that were overall poorer like India and China are making great gai

Interesting. Also interesting was that SSL has been hacked before, although I've not heard much about it after then. For example: http://hackaday.com/2008/12/30/25c3-hackers-completely-break...

Why not try those who started the projects you are interested in? Perhaps some or all of them will contract their time, especially if it is really such a short duration, but don't expect it to be cheap. Via searching github forks of these p

Many people do this accidentally, and it's how many connect while away from home. If you want to do it, and don't mind the ramifications, it's not a terribly big deal. Note however that if they are connected to your network, you can have a

That's why he has a staff and a cabinet. Also, there are 3 branches of government, not just one. Filled with lots and lots of people. And, many presidents have done just fine up until now. Life's tough. Get over it!

Pretty good post, but I think it is generalizing possibly a bit too much and could be misinterpreted: 1. 'ask yourself “is this going to make me deliver the product faster?”. If the answer is no, don’t do it' While on a whole it's true, but

You lost me at the part about going to the spa. Insert going to have a beer for each mention of spa, and have some clear and concise point, and it'd be a great post. Still- good read.
