I use smugmug for all my photo needs. You send them email, you get a real human response. Great service, great prints, great people, great looking site. This is a very cool program, it's worth building something simple to get the account!

It's fine to have a house and a kid if you've already got capital. Most programmers in their 30's would hopefully have sufficient savings for about a year of no income - It is a pretty well paying job after all.

Wow. The first one is really close to the color scheme I chose for my house.

It's all about the story: 1) Who is my audience? 2) What will I help them do that is better than what they have to do now? 3) How am I going to build it?

Webkinz is incredibly popular w/ kids. My cousins (12 and 20) are basically obsessed w/ them.... It's a great model: kids are hard to advertise to, so make them buy a plush toy to get on the site.

A room full of people that are really smart in exactly the same way isn't much smarter than just a few of those same people. A room full of pretty smart people with diverse experience and knowledge is WAY smarter than any smaller group. Rea

Sometimes a solution that is specific and targeted is more efficient and usable than a general solution molded to fit the problem. No one says that if you need a relational database you should reimplement it yourself - just that the DB is

Agreed. Especially if you "need" 100 employees and everyone else is saying yes, there's pressure for consensus, if they are "good enough".

I doubt this. The main differentiator between facebook and myspace is that facebook is clean and easy to use, vs. the maelstrom of crap that's tossed at you in myspace. If they do allow widgets, I'd imagine they'd go the opposite route as

I take one issue to the Google policy outlined here - There is danger, if you disallow candidates who don't have full consensus of the hiring board, of creating groups and rooms full of people who have the same skills, the same values, and

You should be able to do way better than $2k a month for an apartment in Palo Alto. More like $1200, and with roomates way less.

This article is pretty confused. It goes from web 2.0 to msft's objections to the doubleclick deal to a weird aside about a bank of america security breach. But this is what the masses read.

The longer you've programmed, the less time it takes. But learning syntax and libraries is much different than (for lack of a better word) learning the "zen" of it. You could learn python and just write C-style code in it in a few hours,

VC's make money, even if you don't. Their fee structure is much like hedge funds: They make 2% of all assets committed PER YEAR (how much is actually invested) and 20% of any monetized gains, as they close. That 2% is a lot of money, and

Blank url posts are sometimes hard to follow because the order of the comments is not chronological -- hence, It's hard to find the first comment, the actual question. It might be nice to have a chronological sort, or maybe, for just blank
