"It may be, it may not be." Exactly. As he mentions, engineering any given system presents its own unique set of challenges, and should be addressed as such. Use the proper tools to solve problems. There are no one-size-fits-all solutions i

Despite whether you agree with him or not, Alex is one of the best technical writers around. This post is exemplary of that.

To start any business you have to take risk. You've gotten this far with your idea, the worst that can happen is they say no. But, now you've got experience pitching to VCs. Understand that the fear of rejection is just that: fear. It's par

The power of traction always amazes me. There is nothing like watching your business gain a reputation and existence of its own outside of your idea of what your business is. Once you start getting traction you will always be surprised how

I think this way, too. I assume I'm a bad programmer, businessman, communicator, etc. It has always served me well. It keeps me asking questions and always striving to improve. Even in the unlikely event that I ever knew what I was talking

Never gonna happen. Too many enterprise apps depend on IEs render engine and ActiveX.

In the sense this article suggests, you never actually _needed_ a cofounder to begin with. They have always been and continue to be nice to have and preferable in most cases. I am saying this as a solo cofounder.

You should read some of the actual accounts of how/why GS took the tarp funds. Paulson basically told them to take it, or the government would suck up all of their oxygen.

You should know, GS was basically forced to take the bailout money by Paulson, and were the first to pay it back.

GS is a good buy today.

1) A little over a year (Founded March 2009) 2) Didn't apply. Could use the advice, but not the money. 3) No, and not sure we want to. Got some solicitations last month from a few firms on the East Coast. This prompted me to contact Sequoi

I'm wondering how often you have to restart your Mongrel processes? Seems Mongrel loves to bloat.

Ezra, you deserve a lot of the credit for the growth of Nginx. Your evangelism has done nothing short of catapulting its exposure in the community. So, thank you.

I'm a single founder. I fall in the "tech cofounder" and would welcome a "business cofounder" any day. And, speaking of which, find me if you'd be interested.

I don't see how launching and iterating are mutually exclusive.

Yes, this is called specialization of labor. Plato wrote about it. Good advice, but something any hacker with a lick of business acumen already knows.

It is also worth noting that GS has more cash on hand right now than ever before.

One down day over the course a fiscal quarter hardly equates to "zero-risk" trading. The market has been on a 6 month trend up, and when trending it is relatively easy to make assumptions that can pay off everyday. Judging from last week's

Did he watch the market over the past 3 months? It's been doing a pretty steady incline. If you got in low, it's been really hard to not make money. Goldman is getting vilified in the press these days, and I frankly think it's unwarranted.

Another argument to be made here is that Apple can argue that if you are going to have to "learn" a new OS anyway, why not "learn" OS X? I am very skeptical that the release of Windows 7 (as good as it might be) will slow the market gains A

This should go without saying. You should be careful of everything you put out online. Blogs, Usenet posts, IRC, Twitter, Facebook, etc., etc.

This is unbelievably awesome. Can you imagine what we could achieve if every company had this level of transparency?

I would argue that most "self proclaimed" anything aren't as good at their trade as they think.

Not being content with your coding ability is healthy and natural. There will always be a better way to do something. This is the learning process, and great developers never stop learning. Being a "wage slave" is not as bad as you might th

I wrote about this briefly a few weeks back. Got no karma love, but I don't think I was far from what YC is looking for. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=714977
