I'm glad you said that, but setups like yours are the exception not the rule. Last I was there, PL has the same. I'd mostly agree too it's a rewarding experience, but it needs to do done right. If you half ass the setup, it gets frustrating

This [redacted] pisses me off, I'm sorry. Jon writes well, but I read the New Yorker article on "Group Think" which he references... in TechCrunch. I'm as shocked as you are. It's speaks well of individual creative process and how brainstor

Because the good out weighs the bad... how does anyone live in the suburbs assuming this was a loaded question. Crime is everywhere, you can stick your head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist or you can enjoy your life. I lived in a c

This is a problem. ie- Can't be productive in another language... Finds Rails, thinks he/she is a genius. Anyone can consider himself or herself a professional artist, but that doesn’t make it so. I'm trying to fight being mean, but Ffff!!

Consulting a genuinely difficult game to give up. Congrats.

This is weird. Freedom shouldn't be the price you pay to operate in any country. Is it passe to push American ideals abroad.

"But many of us are also fans of GitHub, and recognize that there is a great community of developers there (particularly in the ruby community)", that's an interesting comment. Does Google care about Ruby?

Here's the link: https://github.com/dustineichler/NYTimes There's a decent amount of refactoring happening already, but by all means leave some feedback.

Isn't there a way to buy your stock pre-vesting? I'm pretty sure there is.

College is one of the best times of your lives. Don't drop out, I'm glad you're only taking leave. Work will be waiting for you when you're done, I promise.

The story angle is wrong. Why would someone like him care if he bought into anything, when he can buy everything. It reads like an insecure fable which I doubt.

I love Railscasts, but this seems a little premature even by Rbates standards or popularity. Generally, Railscasts revolve around industry standards. I'm not saying Stripe won't be, it probably will... but man, this is some front running.

What's a 100% of nothing re: retention. No offense, but it sounds as though networking paid dividends, not what you had built... at all.

1. Should you even bother using this if you can't implement NSURLConnection based authentication. No. 2. The point of this is lost on me. Why would I use this?

That's good to hear. Admittedly, last time I stopped by was over a year ago at least.

Palantir is one of the few unsung heros of the valley. I've had a few opportunities to hangout there, it's something to see. These guys are sharp. Are they still throwing cards "everywhere". My only criticism is, it's a guy shop. I don't th

You're right, but I think pivoting is a failure to admit defeat on many levels; from vc investment to execution. If I was in whatever Fund that invested in Color, I'd be pissed the f off.

Rant: When a company Pivots, a developer gets it's wings. There are no rules to raising money anymore, no path. I don't care what a VC tells me. It invalidates VC funding models, otherwise Color should not exist. They could create a fund wi

This sounds pretty cool. I'd go to Chile if not for a little travel and to escape the Bay Area bubble in lieu of a broader life experience. Wonder once you finish the 'program' what the terms are. I suspect they'd want you to stay wherever

How do you get funding without a product? I see this all the time with MBA students fresh out of school. It's pretty annoying. Also, If this doesn't have the makings of someone who saw "The Social Network" and moved to Palo Alto I don't kno

Other -- and this is important. Lack of connections and willingness to use people is something worth considering. I know a lot of people, but not a fan of nepotism. However, I wouldn't mind someone believing in me, but would never ask. So I

I think you have the right idea. You're trading a minimum set of requirements for a better service. Your value added proposition is, availability. You'll always be on call if necessary. I typically ask for 20 hours a week minimum between 2

I've worked on 2 week retainers initially. It's worth while with small and larger clients alike. It adds a air of security and relationship trust between you the client. Make it know upfront you work on a retainer though, obviously not afte

While that is cool. You have to realize he's not getting this rate all the time or at least that many projects that can be billed out as such. Pivotal labs can though. I'd know about it, having done similar work in SF. It's unusual. Typical

My comment is a commentary on the ridiculousness of your post. I found it dimwitted and short sighted. When has censorship ever solved anything. Shocker humor is lost on someone from the UK. If you said it was in bad taste, I might agree, b

I'm honestly shocked so many of you would love a ban on "this" topic over another. Remind yourself when Comcast throttles your internet.

Posts like this make me want to jump out of a window, no pun intended. It doesn't meet my requirement for basic human decency and compassion. We should "set the bar higher".

Howard seems like a cool guy, but I'm skeptical. How do these dinner events go. $65 seems like a high premium to just say hi when there's 10+ people there. Obviously I'm assuming a great deal.
