You could always keep healthy snacks are your desk. Right now I'm munching on some plain, unsalted almonds that I keep right next to me, along with some fruit and other healthy things. Let's me keep going without thinking about being hungry

“it's okay to not get this and be completely confused” I'm only 4 months into learning to program, but still think this is one of the most valuable mindsets to have. It's a skill, really, being able to accept that everything I read about mi

Given that this is my first published webapp (and I've only been coding for two months total), I'd love any feedback people have. Thanks!

Had the same issue. Would love to not have the outside area scroll if I'm trying to scroll the slide-out.

Exactly! Even now I'm annoyed that I have to type on my iPhone keyboard when I'm sitting at my computer and someone sends me a text. Would infinitely prefer that when I'm in proximity of my computer and logged in that the phone functionalit

Another key here is breaking down the specs. If you're clear in your communication, you can get good work. But being 100% clear with exactly what you want the finished product to look like is critical.

Yeah - thanks for pointing that out. We're pitching in 45 minutes, but will aim to get some posts up describing our experience. You can check http://blog.pipeapp.co (we need to connect it to the live app still so there's links between, bu

Keeping up with a professional network can be a lot of work. The idea is that Pipe breaks this down into one person to contact each day. It's not going to be for everyone, but for people that want a little push each day reaching out to the

yeah, we're working on that - sorry!

The singly hackathon has been a blast. I'm on the Pipe team and am happy to answer any questions you have about our experience and what we built.

That's pretty much how it works (as explained by reddit co-founder Steve Huffman in Udacity 253 course - sorry I forget exactly which video he says it).

This is missing the point. The indicator colleges provide occurs upon admittance. Dropping out is perfectly fine, because you can still say you went to (MIT/Harvard/Stanford). And therefore were good enough to get the degree, but had better

Good call on week start dates. I'd agree with you there

Anything in particular that you don't like about it? I haven't used it, so am curious.

Thanks - I saw that. Was hoping there was something more recent. I'll keep an eye on them.

Maybe I missed it, but what is the axis on your chart?

Could you explain this dark connotation? Having seen it used in publications of varying quality, I have sensed no such thing.

Would love some labels on those bubbles. Would be nice to know what each of those things are.

Thanks for the correction - though, quite honestly, having met Judge Alsup, I'm not sure this is any better. He hates technology.

The key thing to remember is that the case in front of Judge Alsup in the US Northern District of California is a jury case. It'll be up to people who have no idea how computers work to decide this. Having just served on a jury, I see the v

Couldn't agree more. As someone's who is using Codecademy to learn, I find myself hunting around for the way I got to that useful page with the week-by-week lessons all spelled out in a nice list. Unfortunately I end up guessing URLs until

It seems this is best summed up by the old "show don't tell" bit. As in provide concrete information, not explanation. Don't tell me you're creative, show me what you have created. Etc.
