Considering her audience was likely quite technical, that presentation wasn't exactly enlightening. Hopefully she verbally expanded on the bullet points substantially.

What about the top few in the US. Of course Silicon Valley is tops, followed by Cambridge/Boston. But after that, perhaps: Boulder, Los Angeles, New York, Austin, Seattle. Any other votes?

If you talk to college and high school students, they will have a completely different opinion about Facebook than Matt's. For many of them, it is their primary form of communication - above email and oftentimes even cellphones. To some ext

The only qualification that you don't meet is confidence! If you say you can't, then you won't.

The proliferation of startups also exposes a need for better integration. If signing up for accounts and remembering usernames/passwords for a dozen different sites is a pain, think about doing that for hundreds!

I like the idea alot. I do have concerns on privacy and questions about how the whole process is simplified, however I have no doubt that Paul et al have implemented some clever techniques to handle all of this. Looking forward to trying it

Isn't it true on any platform that you could be shut out if the APIs or underlying technology changes?

I'm not sure the point of this rant. Let me summarize what I got out of this: This author thinks we're in a bubble because: 1) the startups having unique names 2) you can't change text size of widgets 3) nobody codes as well as he does I w

I think we're all trained to expect a downturn after a sustained run of good times. It does not appear that tech will trigger the downturn (if there will be one) this time, but the question is how much will tech be affected? Personally I b

I'm not underwhelmed by these. Some of them looked very good, particularly the startup that uses facial recognition in videos.

I too am struggling with the value of this site. However, I think the minimalist design is very compelling.

I resent him for creating a "difficult to learn" lifestyle that conveniently requires people to spend $2,800 per workshop to learn. The reason I resent that is because I'm jealous of how much money he makes.

This is fantastic. The essay feels more "shoot from the hip" and emotional than normal. It will certainly stay with me!

It's awesome to see not just a young person succeeding on their startup, but a female as well. Clearly female hackers are more rare than their male counterparts, so bravo to Ashley for blazing her own trail.

Large companies have built in processes for security, which slows down their software development, but also ensures better security than someone hacking together a site from scratch as quickly as possible. Most of us hackers are jack of al

I'm not sure I agree with him classifying those people who take a risk, but ultimately fail, as "morons." Although he also classifies those who don't take a risk (i.e. work at corporate jobs) as morons as well. I guess smart people are the

I've found that a ramification of holding the current program in my head is that I have a greater emotional bond with whatever problem I've most recently worked on. If I work on several project concurrently, there's always one of them that
