I don't think Vogel was saying the platform was too popular for users, but rather too popular for developers, resulting in too much competition. Besides, if you've ever read his blog, you know hes been self ridiculing his own mark

That's too bad, but I do understand the sentiment. Ive been playing Spiderweb software games since I was a kid, and did in fact buy one of the Avernum games for my iPad, which I quite enjoyed (though the graphics were a bit to small,

I hate to call myself out, but I envy most of you. It sounds as if many here get the opportunity to work on interesting problems from end to end. As such, first principles matter, and approaching something from scratch makes sense. I how

True, if we get down to the nitty gritty, its not as simple as I portrayed. My intent was to say, bring an idea for a solution, don't just bring a problem. If I had two employees who came to me with the same problem, and one came pre

I disagree. Ive seen too often the person who is willing to say X,Y,Z is wrong, but cant offer a solution to solve X,Y,Z. Its the solution that matters. Bringing your CEO or any higher-up a problem without a solution is just adding to t

The words I dread the most are, "it needs more wow factor". I always ask, "great, can yoh show me what that looks like?"

>"..in the same way the FDA verifies safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals.." There is some merit to what you say, but I'd not use the FDA as a model. To me that sounds like a recipe for disaster, imagine the NSA auditin

Not a lawyer, but..As far as using Origami for prototyping? No, I don't think there is any issue. Using and shipping Origami framework along with your own product, yes. Im pretty sure they are only saying "If you implement Orig

As one who lives in Silicon Valley, almost everything seems reasonably affordable by comparison (currently paying $1300 for tiny one bedroom apartment built in the 70s). EDIT: I should add that rate is the absolute lowest I was able to find

Agreed, I'm in love with Inkscape's support for SVG. Like some of the other posters here, I am fed up with Adobe and it's bloated software. In Adobe's defense, this is likely due to all of the backwards compatibility t

The main issue with JS and SEO is that most JS Frameworks we are talking about are used to create SPAs (Single Page Applications). Usability-wise, these are great; everybody hates page loads. SEO-wise, there is a problem because the searc

When will we stop thinking in terms of "How things look through my glasses". I.E. My glasses have red tint, so the whole world looks red. Your glasses have a green tint, so likewise, the world is green to you. Some identify thei

Im with King, have you ever seen how the Big 4 accounting firms treat their employees? The TL;DR is they pack em in as tight as they can. http://www.examiner.com/article/pwc-deloitte-e-y-and-kpmg-bi...

I completely disagree, I think the manner in which the author shared this story is full of the sort of insight (and emotion) that is often left out of these stories. This is a human story, not a manifesto or technical thesis. For someone l
