This article on HN this morning (and the comments on HN and the post itself) gives a lot of great indirect insight into this topic: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3404437

I had the same experience in college. I was more into web technologies, and everything we did in school was in Java. I did tons of projects for fun, most of which nobody ever saw but myself. Pickup a web language like ruby/python/php and st

checkout their index page, does a great job of conveying what the site does. No idea why OP linked to that page. Your designer cookies are on there: http://www.midtownrow.com/product/teacake-bake-shop-signatur...

I agree with you - just recently I spent WAY too long trying to find a good free sound sample for a notification chime and integrate it into a cross-browser audio object. Not sure if you are thinking of the implementation-end as well (aka j

cool site, digging the design! Suggestion though - who is ever going to remember a 'recipe number', especially as the site gets bigger? I suggest you make that a search box instead, which seems needed anyway to find specific content.

1) Make sure your personalities meld - I hired people multiple times for their coding chops when we didn't necessarily 'jive' and it made working with them over a long period pretty painful, especially when brainstorming or doing stuff like

Never seen/heard of your product before this thread but MAN is it cool. Just wanted to throw some kudos your way!

My process usually goes like this: design main page with 20 iterations, code 20% of project, redesign main page, code another 20% of project, redesign main page again and make some additional pages, etc... It's a vicious cycle - though I do

Here's a problem I have all the time as both a designer and a developer - When I am first building a project the dev is obviously important, fun to do, and essential to get right to use as the framework for the whole project. BUT the design

Love the idea, few things that stuck out to me: 1) Logo text is a link to hompeage, but the image is not - I kept trying to click the image 2) Login link doesn't quite fit the design, needs a bit more pop 3) Plan comparison page doesn't do

Damn - I spent a bunch of time setting all this stuff up myself about a month ago. Good to know this project exists and is ready to rock for my next GAE app!

www.drunkenweb.com - Didn't intend to make money off it (project for fun to learn python and play with css3/html5), but I hooked up amazon associates w/ targeted ads. Made ~$6 in 11 months :-)

I like the simplicity of the design! I too have a few suggestions: 1] The top screenshot is pretty "jarring", which I'm sure was you intent and works well.. However, it doesn't indicate what happens when the ssl cert is invalid & users

The reason I mentioned the TLD is because that is specifically part of the name of my product/company. ie my product is "Foo.me" and would never be labelled, branded, called, marketed, etc without the tld attached, whereas the other company

I have used Tipfy for a couple of projects. It is VERY lightweight and flexible, and comes with jinja2 templating built in. Basically webapp + some missing components, like Session management. It's not even as close to as robust as Django-n

Good call on the university thing, it was a student position however that was the actual title they used. I'll change it to 'Senior Student Technician' instead. I obviously wasn't a senior engineer the day I started at my current job howeve
