It is almost impossible to pay in person but the Apple Store app offers ability to scan the barcode on almost any accessory and pay on the spot for it without ever seeing staff. I do not have many issues with this model, in fact it makes vi

I use a Kinesis Advantage and while it is not split, it does have concave key wells which in my opinion is superior to the flat ones on ErgoDox. The middle section is large enough to fit a Magic Trackpad 2 and I have seen people mod their k

The most important thing in my opinion is to thoroughly understand people, those who report to you, and who you are responsible for: their biases, fears, motivations, habits, and strengths. Upon this basis you can form a cohesive strategy f

One way to make it work is to fire everyone and start from scratch. If the application is extremely simple then I trust it could be built by an external team (i.e. outsourced), while you rebuild the team by hiring/vetting one engineer

The members of Slack‘s Calls team have written their own and they have spoken at SF HTML5 meet-up but nothing else publicised AFAIK. Also somebody has forked erlyvideo to deal with WebRTC

Money gets you to a certain point, and does provide a cushion against certain errors. But if you simply spend money on the best engineers without a plan and shared purpose, they will leave.

This is preposterous. Android is more or less AOSP + Google Play services, and the latter are not free for manufacturers to use. There is a license fee. In addition devices need to pass a compatibility test suite (CTS) for them to be eligib
