As a hiring manager, I can promise you that your generalizations are sweeping and full of misplaced emotional verbiage. Since it is my job to hire the best candidate and even though my company gives me access to a world of engineers, I will

Hmmm... wow I lost my bet that GitHub would have been the first of the hipster Ruby on Rails companies to IPO. Though, I'm still betting they will be next. New Relic is a great company that makes it very easy to keep on top of your app

When I was there it was a healthy mix of CVS, SVN and git. Engineering wanted to move to git, so I would assume they are on the path to 100% git, annnnd.... probably already are at this point.

Wow, this _open letter_ is so full of nerd rage that it fails to capture any of my sympathy. I expected to see a humble effort to create an open-source Swift compiler that would move the conversation forward. Instead, I'm left feeling

Sony is making a smaller Android device, the "Z3 Compact," exactly for the reasons you list.

The extensions could be written to be full featured. It's really the fault of the individual products not doing anything interesting with it.

The iPadification of Phone apps is quite a feature too.

Sorry, I just had to be the one to say it. If SJ were presenting, he would have focused 10 minutes on how this device was the best and most precise thing at telling time. He would have shown how the hardware surpassed anything a mechanical

The fact that this whole charade is over one word "standard" because it seemingly takes control away from Gruber rubs me the wrong way. Jeff Atwood and co have done nothing but praise Markdown. They've worked really hard to f

Nice... 3 kids at 32! Sounds like you made that your "startup" instead. Happy to hear you've decided to commit to making that successful. :-)

San Francisco became my home in my heart almost immediately. I have fallen in love with this city. When I leave, I miss it and where-ever I go I can't stop talking about it. Yes it's not perfect, far from it, but it's perfect

Would be great too if this works with LLVM/Clang for Windows. Then one could have access to the complete C++/14 :-D

"Time Warner's share price jumped some 16.35% higher in the first 20 minutes of trade on the New Stock Exchange to $82.62 per share." Bwahaha. Does this show how happy investors are that TW rejected the offer? :-)

I wanted to immediately shout, "now THIS is something SJ would be rolling in his grave over." However, in the mid 2000s he was a big believer in switching to Intel and even though I found it hard to believe a company that pushed P

There's a great video on how to solve this very problem with motion on iOS. "Building Interruptible and Responsive Interactions" (via https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2014 )

Also, don't forget that Comcast now owns NBC. :-)

I agree with the OP that double sided businesses are extremely high bars for a lot of founders to tackle. Yet, I think it's silly to tell someone their idea is dumb. Would GitHub have sounded like a great idea at the beginning? Or Twit

Actually, OS X releases up until Snow Leopard the clock was set to the version of the OS. 10:10 for OS X 10.1 for example.

OMG, I remember that year! It was even worse in 2003 when they moved it to Moscone. Fresh made Jamba Juice and mounds of Krispy Kreme donuts galore. It was super gross to be honest. :-) I haven't eaten a Krispy Kreme donut since that y

I see this as equivalent to writing one application that targets both iPhone and iPad and even Android with one app targeting tablets and phones. The only really new thing is support for a single application but the design and UI work still

This thing appears to be more like Siri since it's so context aware and makes jokes.

It goes without saying that solving algorithm questions are only a part of the interview process. Candidates are also judged on culture fit and design skills.

What other acquisitions by Facebook resulted in that product falling apart? Instagram is still doing its own thing, also Parse as well. People need to get over whatever negative emotions they have towards Facebook. It's like they hate

You didn't have to board the return flight and you don't have to board the last companies' arrival flight. There, problem solved :-).

I call bullshit on this one. Having a big-tech company on my resume has done nothing but send an endless stream of recruiters knocking on my door. Doesn't make getting a final offer any easier, but it has definitely improved my chances
