The main goal: Make more art. Specifically, the kind I call "art you have to plug in" -- kinetic art sculptures that include light, motion, and interactivity. I work towards achieving it by having my own company with a workshop fu

Firefox did not drop support for Selenium. Selenium IDE, a record/playback test creation tool, stopped working in newer versions of Firefox, but a) Selenium IDE is only one part of the Selenium project, and b) The Selenium team is work

Are you talking about Selenium WebDriver or Selenium IDE (the record/playback tool for Firefox)? Those are two separate things. Selenium WebDriver implements is a cross-browser W3C-standard and Firefox very much still supports it.

There's a hybrid approach: Indie.vc. It's a VC investment, but the focus is on profitability and sustainability. The terms of an Indie.vc deal let them get paid back via traditional methods (IPO, acquisition), but more importantly

Maybe if profitability is the goal (and not an IPO nor acquisition), then maybe offering stock options in the first place is a misaligned bad idea. Maybe a better idea is structuring a profit sharing plan? (Or if the options are offered any

What do people here think of the (BSL) Business Source License? The MariaDB folks are using it for their MaxScale product. The BSL is intended to be a sustainable way to pay for open source software development. (BSL's tl;dr is that it

Don't underestimate the power of plug-and-play ease of use and the inclusion of dozens of ready-to-go example programs. And good documentation. And a welcoming, friendly, active user community. And marketing to people who want to make

Usually when key information (like price, but also sometimes key tech) is left out, it's because they want you to contact them so they can begin the formal sales process. In this case, though, since there is a Nature [1] article about

Saying a piece of software "should be expunged from the Internet" is a bit overly dramatic. I got real value out of the software. Most of the issues you mentioned sound fixable (e.g. color schemes of PCB layers, keyboard shortcuts

This is why I used Fritzing, not KiCad to design my first board. KiCad's interface was hard to get used to, even though I understand that KiCad is more powerful. It would be awesome, however, if either KiCad became more beginner user-f

There totally is a market for it. Sauce Labs makes $25MM/year doing it. One way to secure the service is by using pristine virtual machines for each session and discarding them afterwards.

The parts in my designs are fairly simple and mathematical (rectangles with holes like Lego Technic), which makes them good candidates for OpenSCAD. My product designs, though, are first made by hand in a playing-with-Lego-like way (3D prin

It makes me wonder if 12 weeks in a startup accelerator is also not enough time to truly understand how to run a business, either.

I worked for ThoughtWorks in Chicago for 6-ish six years (2000-2007). I started the Selenium project there in 2004. At the time, I was a Python and JavaScript developer living in a sea of Ruby, Java, and .Net fanatics.
