I think Pinterest is a game changer because of the physical social interactions it creates outside of the site. My wife has been to multiple Pinterest "parties", where they pick a craft or recipe and make it together. If someone comes over

IMO, the only way for physical books to exists alongside ebooks is by bundling the ebook with the physical book, similar to movies. It baffles me why publishers haven't already done this, but then again...publishers aren't the brightest peo

100% agreed. My wife is a labor and delivery nurse. I ask her many questions about her job but I have no interest in learning to how give an IV or check for effacement. If someone you're dating is not interested in learning your programming

Have you launched yet? Being in different timezones post-launch can be extremely difficult in my experience. Bugs and new code gets really hard to manage when the co-worker you need to talk to is asleep while you are working.

You have to understand the publishing industry to understand why eBooks fail so terribly in design and typography. Most publishers could care less about the eBook format. They still have this idealistic vision that eBooks will die off. Publ

This would actually be great if I could rent a puppy for an hour for my kids or something. Maybe you should turn this into an AirBnB for pets. I'm sort of kidding, but sort of serious. I bet PETA would love you ;)

That's okay Tam. Like you said, parenthood is not for everyone and I agree with that. And yes, Jeff's chart would imply only a 2% difference. But that 2% doesn't include the child's happiness and well being. When you have a child, you are d

I had no idea Textmate 2 would be a free upgrade for Textmate 1 users. I would gladly pay for Textmate 2 as well.

This would have been most useful when I first starting learning Rails, but it's still useful nonetheless.

Great post Chad. I work for an SF startup and have been trying to sell my house in Texas for 6 months. It's ridiculously frustrating and stressful. Best of luck on your house selling!

Cuban never said anything about those companies adding no value or being worth nothing. He just said they might be overvalued.

Natalie, love the site - it's one of those ideas I wish I would've done! Wish this was around when my wife was pregnant.

Totally agree here. I prefer startups to ask for projects instead of a resume. For my job (YC startup), I believe my resume design caught their attention, and my side-projects got me an interview.

Great list. I would add that if a resume is required, a well designed resume is important especially if it's a front-end or generalist engineering role. Kick ass startups look through hundreds of resumes, and first impressions are a big dea
