It seems like a lot of Steve Blank's articles don't get many comments here. I know that I usually read them and think "Wow, that's insightful" and I can't think of anything to add or refute. Maybe that's just me, but I'm glad they keep ge

Thanks for the follow-up. I only read the text excerpt because I didn't have time for the video. I'll see if I have time later to watch the whole thing.

Any references to "generations" are flawed and only serve as an easy way for journalists to make sweeping generalizations. Generation Y doesn't have anything to say in regards to Twitter or anything else.

Been using Clicky Pro for a year now and I like it. I use both it and Google Analytics.

Yeah, the title should be changed to "kills one blogger's anonymity," not "blogger anonymity",

Wow, yeah, they just invented a whole new class of phishing scams.

I agree. I was just about to copy that same line from the article. The article title is sensationalized. I had assumed he took it from someone also with the name Paul Allen, but it was just someone who made a satirical film of the real Pa

Thanks for the tip. I skipped down to the friden algorithm and it was an interesting story.

A histogram shows a distribution of values. This just looks like a bar graph. Still useful, but I don't see how it's a histogram.

A lot of blank sheets of paper and a sharpie. I keep them in a manila folder to look at later, but usually there's only one or two important pages that are worth keeping because the ideas change a lot as I write. Use what comes natural and

"Show and discuss your code, without emotional attachment." Not my experience. I have always had emotional attachment to my code. My love for my code is what has enabled me to grow. Passion is half the battle. I got the impression that he m

This seems to be extrapolating a lot from the original results. The study was done only on baby names. When you name a person, you have to consider the effect it will have on the person's whole life. So it makes sense to avoid names that

>Also keep in mind if you start with $200, see zero sales and then start gradually reducing it to $20, then you basically shoot your own credibility as a merchant as the $200 -> $20 drop makes you look greedy, detached from the real

Here are his six rules from the end of the article: 1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. 2. Never us a long word where a short one will do. 3. If it is possible to cut

I tried Basecamp once for a side project, but I quickly found myself not using it. No particular reason. I just didn't feel like I got much value out of it. Trac is pretty nice because it's lightweight and is tied right into my repository

Great, thanks for the response. It seems that I missed the entire Chart Options section. I guess my main UI feedback then would be to put those options directly beneath the graph and move the background image stuff somewhere else. Good to

Really cool. Pretty easy to use overall. I plan to play around with it a lot. My feedback is geared towards fantasy football, but here are my thoughts and suggestions: 1. Some stats categories aren't clear. Which one do I select to grap

I didn't know the details of the reply stuff. That's good to know. I also hope people stop the automatic DM with each follow. That really is annoying.

I did the same thing. It's an awesome tool that I found useful, but I bought two domain names from namecheap instead of using the godaddy link.

Cool, but should be twice as fast. How long does it take a person to read 140 characters? Is it limited more by API restrictions?

I think it's a great design and really well-laid out site. I understood immediately what it is you're doing. However, I don't have the problem that you're solving so I'm not that interested. I'm not a student though, so maybe that's more

Pretty basic stuff. None of it newsworthy. I notice that right now it's #8, but in the classic view it's not even on the home page. This might be one indication of lower quality on the site.

I absolutely agree. In the past four years I've switched from scientist (well, grad student) to mechanical engineer to software developer. Transitioning can be stressful and difficult, but I'm really happy with where I am now. I look at
