You are undoubtedly correct on both of your points. Again, I stated that this was based upon my observations.

No, I must of misrepresented my thoughts. I stated that that was one way, not the way. It seems that with the size of Google today, and their notoriously strict hiring guidelines; based upon my observations, Google hires high-profile de

This name is awful. 1)It implies that copyright infringement is stealing. 2)It implies lack of responsibility, as in someone is making you do a certain action. You have a choice.

It seems to me that if you're a dev that wants to work at Google, sending them a cover letter and resume is a waste of time. Google can afford to pick almost anybody. You've got to stand out. I'd imagine that it's probably best to become an

I can't comment on the situation, but I think throwing the towel as a CEO is the wrong decision. Just because you don't have an upcoming round, your duty as a CEO is to the company in any condition that it's in, come hell or or high water.

The article doesn't mean "love" in the literal sense, even though I think you know this. I think it means "love" in the sense of feeling appreciated. I also agree with your expectations of stable pay and health benefits. I do think that som

You've presented a very good rebuttal that's hard to disagree with.

His main point is that 37signals doesn't have a native app for Android/iOS but should because of the increasing number of users that own these devices. His secondary point is that a mobile phone web app simply isn't enough. Without rereadin

It's frustrating to me when people say something along the lines of "go write one and stop complaining." It's hardly a useful retort. I think his main thesis is an important one to take note of. One that anyone who runs a software company s

Come on. It'd only be linkbait if the meat of the article didn't address the title. I thought his title was very relevant to the content.
256.
by jonpaul 16y ago
His title is clearly calling out 37 Signals, not every company. Are you a bit defensive? 37 Signals has thousands of users, maybe even more. It's my understanding that there is constant demand for a native mobile app. If your business doesn

"Yada is a patent pending method for implementing a peer-to-peer based social network without the use of a ANY central server." Is that a joke? Seriously?

Joel: At the risk of sounding trollish, you read like that Chris Crocker guy of "Leave Brittney Alone" YouTube fame. 1) He's a CEO. He'd better have thick skin to be one. 2) Most of your points are dead on correct. HOWEVER, I've repeatedly

If you guys cared immensely, you would respond to my support requests. If you wanted to monetize, maybe you would setup a premium offering. I know that I would gladly pay $50/month to ensure that my blog doesn't have the downtime that it's

It's pretentious attitudes like this that give some developers a bad name.

My take: I realize that this is seemingly dodging the question. But you tell the customer 'no.' Seriously. ldh [ http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2143654 ] makes a great point, if you make one exception, many are to follow. Soon your cod

As the submitter and not the author, I stand nothing to gain by sharing the article. But, I see your point. I was thinking that when he mentioned not having a model where a mutable collection with fixed size made sense; thus, it translated

You know, sometimes it really makes me mad that it's difficult to get into contact with a person at Google for support of their products. But, I've got to hand it to them. They could have issued a non-personal public statement like most com
