You might consider that "building the product" is not really "most of the work" here. There are three things: - Product - A Market for said product (solving a problem for a customer who has money) - Getting your Product to that Market and

Great post--I can use this exact setup with my AWS server and was about to start writing something similar. Thanks for saving me loads of time.

oDesk gets around this by having a time limit on when feedback can be left. If one party fails to enter feedback, then it posts the other's feedback anyway. Parties can lobby to have the other person change the feedback, but only if they l

FYI--what you describe is not limited to eBay. I sell software through PayPal and I have been defrauded by someone who downloaded, marked it as "Significantly not as described". Once they did that, my money was pulled. I proved the buyer

That's the beauty of FizzBuzz, you don't really need other tests. It weeds out the dead wood very quickly and when you have 10 resumes to walk through in a week, that's a handy thing. Best to know this early on to avoid wasting your time

The font you have on the menus is hard to read. I know it matches the title element well, but at a smaller size, I had to stop and think about each menu item. That will probably reduce interaction if thought has to go into each item's lab

I see, but the real question is this: "Do people wake up in the morning and say to themselves, 'Holy crap, how am I going to save and share videos today?'" I don't think they do, which is why this particular idea and implementation aren't g

Talking to people, the single most frequent first response is “I don’t get it”. Then we take the time to explain it and then they are like “Oh, I see. That’s cool”. You said you failed to connect with people on an emotional level, but I w

Since you asked, I can point you to a website I run that answers that exact question: http://howtobuyawebsite.org I wrote an ebook on that very topic to help answer those particular fears and concerns for first-time or new buyers.

This is not Noah's first transgression in a similar vein: http://sherprog.com/2011/07/10/noah-kagan-and-the-faceless-b... While I support Noah's right to say what he wants to say in the US, I do believe that his attention-grabbing tactic

That visualization has an Edward Tufte feel about it. I wonder if he influenced the author at all. It's pretty cool.

I am a LW customer and their work is high quality. They formatted my ebook for Kindle and it was extremely painless for a good price. Disclaimer: I have no skin in the LW game. They're a good service. I would recommend them to anyone wh

I like the 3-word simplicity of the OP's conclusion. In practice, however, what developers decide is "Simple", "Elegant" or "Succinct" (the noun of brevity, which escapes me here), doesn't always overlap. In fact, with the non-10x crowd,

Funniest bit about the .app: 13 applicants picked ".app", not a single one went for ".apps", the obvious second choice with no competition.

And why are all these companies ignoring the fact that there is a shortage of Ruby and Python developers because most college students are learning Java? I'll answer your other question as it seems to have been ignored: I don't think anyo

And that is how creativity dies. Not all at once with a swift, decisive blow. More like the bites of 10,000 mosquitoes coming 1 at a time, about every 5 minutes so you don't notice that they've stolen a significant amount of your blood un

I met Patrick for the first time at MicroConf 2011. Everything he says is true: - Geeky - Friendly - Approachable - Very open to talking about software-y stuff I look forward to seeing you again at MicroConf 2012, Patrick.

The question every entrepreneur should be asking themselves here is, "How can I create the same kind of fervor that Amazon did by introducing Prime?" Amazon generates 130% more business per subscriber just by losing a mere $11/subscriber.

I'll add one more similar story to this. My friend, who is a serial entrepreneur/CTO/founder, was on his first big company back in the late 90s. He was brought in by a friend/consulting partner and was very jazzed to be working on an excit
