   Why is this a link to a tweet? I don't see any mention of this on their site, so that's probably why... Looks they did get acquired by dropbox: https://hackpad.com/Hackpad-is-teaming-up-with-Dropbox-m1Fne... So ya

   You're probably right. last hackathon I went to was two years ago and it was the first time people were actually trying to win. Weirded me out. I stopped going because of that.

   I always love the concept, but it I rarely hear about the winners, plus there is no way to browse the entrants. Update: Oh cool, this year they finally made a list of everyone who one in the past. https://github.com/showcase

   I get what they're trying to do, but did this read like a rant from a crazy person to anyone else? Just the first header block read like they were creating some kind of videogame company... and then finally at the bottom of that text b

    As a normal user you can submit a bug from both the web ui (the little question mark in the bottom right) and from both apps (menus have a feedback link).

    I don't have a family, but I found two things to be really helpful: Going for a 30 minute walk outside around lunch every day, and having lunch or coffee with friends who challenge my thinking once a week. These two things let me reset

    I have two friends that did this. One to learn app development, and the other to learn Ruby. The app developer started her own company and is doing pretty well (at least paying her own bills), the ruby guy didn't like it, and went back

    Is there a link to a job posting or a good contact email? Your "Contact Us" page doesn't really talk about gigs.

    Thing that weirded me the most about this article? That Fortune put the shorter version in their magazine. You're telling me, if I buy your magazine, I get less content? Do not understand.

    This is pretty close to what I do, but I also try and keep track of what I read. To do this, I just bookmark everything I read in pinboard so if I remember some tendril of a thing, I can search for it. In general my memory is horrible, ever

    What do you mean by "explore"? You mean how do people find out about these apps? Usually word of mouth, online forums, stuff like that. Even five years ago, the global programming community wasn't that large. If someone built

    This is huge. One of the big things dev teams benefit from bringing an SRE team onto their project is learning things like this and how to run a sustainable oncall rotation.

    One thing I've learned in writing coding exercises, is that engineers tend to jump straight to the example code, ignoring all previous instruction. It might help to build your examples with the possibility that your student totally ign

    I'm working through "Introduction to Tactics" and I enjoyed the video, but the lessons are frustrating. I'm doing a valid "fork" or "skewer", but the examples just slap my hand and say "no, try a

    I wonder what percentage of employees at Google are ACM members. That in itself might inform Vint of how useless the ACM is.
