Money overcomes mistrust - it's as simple as that. Speaking for myself, I understand that the business development stuff isn't just hot air, but I don't understand the business development stuff in and of itself. Additionally, I probably do

I actually used sass last week for the first time and was sold on it within a day. Maybe next week I'll look at haml. None of my work is in ruby, so I'm not sure of the utility of haml, though.

Perhaps what is needed is a conference about raising money for hackers to be able to attend these conferences.

It's very helpful to know what's going on behind the scenes of that pretty little database abstraction, though.

In a down market, there are some people who would accept a wet cardboard box for the night if they thought that showing frugality would get them the job. You have to wonder how many of your interviewees were thinking along those lines when

What's to stop the 4Chan army from coming in there demolish some relatively harmless person's reputation? Sure, maybe you can't get sued, but their life is ruined. Some accusations don't unstick.

It doesn't matter - iOS and Android both have features that will require at least 5 years for the mass of consumers to catch onto. Most people still want to make calls, check their email, surf the web and play a game on their phone. So, as

I read the article. A one-sentence mention is not exactly promoting the hell out of something.

Why are they working with Shoutcast? Does having Shoutcast compatibility add that much value to their free product? I say dump Shoutcast and start promoting the hell out of a competing format.

I love this line: "I find the average programmer's lack of understanding of the TST data structure and its variants maddening." The average programmer is a coal-shoveler, moving data from a hopper to furnace all day long. Most of the progra

So, what again is the reason to use your site? The following is my OPINION only (the following may read a bit harsh, but it's late and this is the last thing I'm doing today). Tumblr provides exactly the same capability and customization ta

At least part of the problem is the near-constant change in privacy standards at Facebook and the ever-growing TOS. If users could lock into one explicitly-stated clear Terms of Service, then perhaps we wouldn't be so worried. Then, if Face

I sometimes share my ideas with the hope that someone will do something with it. I don't really care about making money and honestly, I have too many ideas to tell the good ones from the bad ones anymore.

Why can't all of these browsers be format-neutral and have support done through a plug-in? Leave it up to the end-user to decide what they want to have running on their system?
