The unfortunately named CRAP method of measuring code quality uses a metric based on Cyclomatic complexity ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity ) and code coverage to estimate change and maintenance risk of code (this page h

Great article - I've been building recently with backbone / jasmine using client-side fixtures. Architecture is a bit different than Sproutcore, so the data fixtures come need to match with server rest calls (vs client-side data store). T

I didn't mean constraint in the sense of not having capital - more in the sense of not having enough resources (people, connections, knowledge, skills, time, capital, etc) to overcome the external obstacles your perceive on the way to accom

Something amused me about this post - its a bit like a diet guru flying to Somalia and extolling the virtues of a low-carb diet. Innovation is born from constraint. Entrepreneurs are relentlessly resourceful because they have to be - not b

Nice product. Kinds of needs that I think could be filled meaningfully: Users who could not find something on google. Users who are learning something - they are new to a domain and don't know how to construct a query due to lack of vocabu

Love the post, but nothing? I say adopt 2 or more senses of self, and get really good at using them at the right time. I think moving beyond an ego-based sense of self is the best way to think rationally and accomplish a goal. In fact, th

This was my first notion too, but I think if you look more closely as Suster's arguments, he is really pointing out disparity between 2 forces: 1. The short-term economy (including stock markets, jobs, growth and politics) 2. The long-term

Well, I started with the idea of 'We should be free to invent' - thanks for taking the time to poke holes in one proposal towards this end. I tend to agree that it would be difficult to build a practical certification system, at least with

This is exactly the mindset that leads to the patent system we have today. You are thinking of intellectual property as an idea - its not. Meaningful intellectual property is a functioning method or product that delivers value to people (i

I've worked with computer forensics investigators before - you'd be surprised how much data you can get from your harddrive and mobile devices.. If inventors took a bit of care, and good logging / storage software was available, I think th

Really, we should be free to invent. Option B should be that if an inventor can show a clean history of evolving an idea, it should be allowed to freely enter the market. Ideas evolve over time, and the originate from something. Perhaps i

Personally, I give Airbnb the benefit of the doubt. No question. I think very highly of the company and the founders. However, when I read your comment, it bothered me (specifically the bit about the rogue contractor). It gave me the exa

This is a dangerous way to look at the world. For starters, people in positions of power have a long history of acting in their own best interests and not the interest of the greater good. Some decisions about our government and country ha
