I hadn't run across the HBR 6-factors model for the components of a marketplace before. Really interesting stuff since it provides a framework for breaking apart your channels and distributing your team to service them.

You were actually the organizer of the startup weekend which got me launched into tech about 3 years ago. Thank you! Sometimes the value of the experience isn't even the direct interaction with mentors but putting yourself in an envi

This is actually a good time to check out a few tutorials to ease into building mindset and patterns. They start to become a crutch eventually but can be a great transition between syntax and building. I don't know your stack, but if

I really enjoy reading about the trials of entrepreneurs outside The Bubble on HN and this was a great piece of writing. The vignette about the dirt-loving sniper sucked me in.

I'd like to know a bit more about sending emails with Google Apps instead of something like Mailchimp, specifically how automated you can get, what tools are available, and what the risks are. It sounds like a good idea in theory but

This! Having a human being available to stress-test your assumptions and uncover hidden weaknesses in your mental model is one of the biggest failings of both the "hold-your-hand REPL" tools currently used by many learn-to-code p

I've compiled a mini-course[1] that's exactly this -- design for developers. It more or less follows the 80/20 rule of getting you through what you should know without bogging down too much in the narrowly focused stuff th

What's the more performant/"proper" way to narrowly target CSS in that situation? Just tacking classes directly on the links (e.g. `<a href="#" class="foo-link">` starts to get very cluttered v

"Nesting in Sass should be avoided" Aren't you missing the best feature of using SASS in the first place? It's a joy to create highly targeted styles with proper SASS nesting... why is it to be avoided?
