For me, and I've seen this feedback here in HN as well, it's annoying when I click on your logo and it takes me to the blog home rather than the product home - even when I'm already on the blog home. That said - this blog ent

Just to be clear, it's sexist here in the US. It isn't necessarily so in other countries.

I've always thought that if I created something that other people could apply skills or talent on (a game, a language, an API), that it wouldn't mean I'd be a master at using it, and that it wouldn't be far fetched to th

Your main problem would be getting your foot in the door. What happens after that is up to you, based on: * How well you do your job * Your ability to grow in the profession * Your ability to work with others In other words, once you'r

> Apple at least has historically priced a number of their applications pretty high This is incorrect. Apple has historically priced their software very low, and their hardware very high. Their office suite is very inexpensive compared t

I've wondered about this, too. Would this approach be a legit workaround for this problem?

> Managing people is more about trying to make things appear fair to everyone. Disgruntled employees are a great way to bring down the entire organization. I agree with your second statement, but your first statement sounds too cynical.

It really can be. The least productive people are not only producing less work in more time, they are also producing work that needs to be reviewed more thoroughly, needs to be redone, or causes bugs whose fixes take more time than the orig

It's still more approachable though than C or Lua where only some people think they know it.

I'm on board with most of your examples, but in my mind the iOS example is different from the rest. iOS is an operating system designed to run native apps with a default UI. Apps can build on top of the SDK and optionally build it usin

Are you saying you've used the "iPhone being held"/"Photographed in context" style before and Apple told you to take it down? I would be interested in this because I've been considering this style for my l

I've always thought it was better than Finder, and is still one of the few things I miss from Windows. I could go into why I feel this way but I don't want to go off on yet a other tangent away from the main topic.

It's surprising to me how the author vehemently dismisses the idea of getting a 9-5 job to support his family and to fund his game development business. It's as if there's something inherently wrong with the idea, without try

I've put in a request to my boss to attend his one day seminar last year. However, recent reviews of attendees say his views haven't caught up with modern times and he just sticks to visualization techniques from years ago.

This doesn't scale though. By the time you have FooApp 5 then you have 5 binaries you have to maintain.

Actually there are some OS devs who bark quite rudely that can be as bad as getting bitten.

The lack of information on pricing is an instant back-button-trigger for me. I have no idea if you (eventually) plan to charge $5 per month or $200 per month. If it's in the lower end, then it can be worth evaluating. If it's a fe

@Unbounce seems to always provide good links, and they always seem to be actionable - I feel like I should be paying a subscription fee. @Lessien has some occasional good insights.

That's where the opportunity is. If "eventually" is six months, then you have six months to make your mark. By then, if you play your cards right and/or you get lucky, you can get in a good position and try to hold it,

There are changes, for instance, about how multitasking works, that an application can take advantage of. If one app doesn't take advantage of it, and another does, I may use one over the other more often. For instance, there was an

Actually what I've seen with Java is that the committee-designed J2EE frameworks failed to keep up and got left behind. In the last five years, the only times I've heard of teams using EJB or JSF were either moving away from them or embarr

I'm guessing this would be the new way to write FB apps, and could be how they will support apps running in mobile FB. I wonder though if Apple would ever allow their FB iOS app to run FB apps, as iOS guidelines forbid apps from downloading

I had the same question - there was no mention at all of pricing, current or future, on the website. This was very disconcerting. I need an idea of pricing because that says a lot about the service - such as whether I'm in their target de
