Pretty code is readable and readable code is pretty. If you can render your code as a nice pdf and distribute it as a paper, it's about as readable as it will ever be. Even if you can't, remember that aesthetics aren't random--there is a r

Ugh... don't blame "design patterns". They are just tools, and any good developer utilizes them nearly constantly. Are we really going to suggest that you can write good imperative code that doesn't involve delegation, strategies, or factor

Only for the investors, and that is the beauty of the system.

I think you're being rather flippant here. Cloned would seem to imply that they did the work to re-craft it. This is just stealing. Hell they're directing traffic to his servers. To be more precise, it's clear copyright infringement. Except

It's really steady cracks in the underpinning ideas in the efficient market hypothesis. We've made a LOT of assumptions in our economic and tax policy around ideas that haven't necessarily proven to be true.

Hell you don't even need an angle, every few years you'll see the same angle come back around. Look at imgur, which is really a better version of the original photobucket, tinypic, whatever came before that. I have no doubt we'll see instag

I'd also imagine the average talent level is higher in the Bay (by quite a bit).

It's likely those investors have liquidity preferences anyways. In a fire-sale situation that equity is likely worthless.

I'm surprised Bcycle hasn't moved into Seattle yet to be honest. They're setting up bike-shares all over the country (started here in Denver).

I can't imagine working at a standing desk that doesn't transition to something I can sit at as well.

My step-mom charges about $5000 a room (depending on a few factors) in Arkansas. I would expect that to be a bit higher elsewhere. That said, that involves her coming out and taking measurements, looking at the house, and really spending qu

Is this a serious question? Anyone who has been around "professional" software development for more than 30 minutes wouldn't be surprised by this at all.

Do you really believe that a collegiate level composition class doesn't improve writing skills at least a little bit?

Android's growth was completely predictable for anyone who was intimately familiar with Symbian. I'd say that Android is much more the "Series 60" of this generation. It's the same model (albeit more open) that Nokia rode to market dominanc

One case I'm familiar with: The "business guy" went out and sold a pretty sizable contract for the startup...before he actually worked for them.

That question is literally the thing that defines wether you are going to be a great entrepreneur or not. Great entrepreneurs, the one who can repeat success, know the answer and often they know almost nothing else. To a certain extent, it'

Cuil is an interesting example, but I have a very different recollection of it. Cuil may have been on to something great, but their technology didn't produce results. To say "nobody cared" is completely false. They launched to pretty seriou

Huh? Every non-compete I've had forced down my throat (I've refused to sign the last several) was specifically guarding against me leaving the company for a competitor.

The more interesting debate is about overall health outcomes. Even the most ardent low-cholestrol folks are forced to admit that this link between higher LDL (particularly the big "fluffy" stuff) and heart disease exists. There are two real

The world is run by their classmates. That's a real problem. If you went to a middle of the road state school (in my case in the south), then you face a lot of additional challenges that my Stanford buddies do not. I have a real win on my

I came from a upper-middle class family. We were wealthy enough that qualifying for financial aid at an ivy was basically impossible. We were poor enough (with 3 of us in college at once) that it wasn't possible. This was particularly probl

$750 isn't particularly expensive on the upper end. This doesn't apply just to shoes, btw. There is a broad luxury market for almost anything. Don't believe me? Visit a western wear store sometime.

I think that's a shallow view of what makes a company enjoyable to work for in the first place, however. Tight feedback loops not only keep people on track, they provide amazing feedback about what you are doing. That security in knowing th
