I think Jobs is absolutely correct, in the context of consumer-facing mobile app stores (and probably consumer computing in general). Choice is great until it becomes a barrier to purchase. Non tech-savvy types flock to Apple because it "

First, congratulations. That's an incredible opportunity. As for salary, I'd ask for a percentage of what the Director of Technology was making--say 85% of his salary (number pulled out of thin air). That way you acknowledge that you are a

This post looks like posturing to me. It's saturated with thinly-veiled animosity toward the free users. I'm sure he's sorry it all happened, but it's not clear he actually feels bad about any free users left in the lurch. The internet is a

This question has been asked so many times, on so many different programming forums. The only reason this is getting any traction is "MIT female"... ugh. EDIT: I should add that we are definitely a welcoming bunch, but I'd try starting over

I agree that following OP's advice would make for a bad resume--no one has ever worked in a situation that didn't hit at least one of those points. I think a good question to ask is, at what point have you passed the point of having to "put

Exactly. I see it as the difference between "It's a job" and "It's my job".

i am currently going through the process with redfin. it has been hands-down the best customer service i've experienced, doing anything, ever. the hand-holding is there if you want it--in fact, i warned the "field agent" that hand-holding w

this guy must be a glutton for punishment to submit this here. i've lost count of the number of times this subject has come up and been quickly put down . each time, the author comes off looking worse than the last time.

i couldn't help but feel a little bit sad as the creator explained all the features... i saw it as a typical example of an adult thinking "ooh ooh, a child would love this!!" and being miserably wrong. i don't doubt there's a lot of cool te
