I'm having a hard time understanding what role ShiningPanda would play in our deployment process. Is this a hosted Capistrano type service, but with testing? Or, is it more like Heroku but with EC2/GAE/etc? Something like "it's the [Heroku|

For anyone using Rails 3 with haml, upgrade haml to 3.0.18... bundle update haml I lost a few hours looking for the issue where form_for was silently failing. Great support though. Here is a discussion of the issue and resolution. h

I advocate for declaring post thumbnails in your theme. It's much cleaner and you don't have to rely on a separate plugin.

I don't agree. Not every developer is an super genius who only solves problems using incredible feats of intelligence. I learn something new everyday. For a learning experience we launched a new site using only HTML5. That was a fun learnin

We realize that. I was an employee not too long ago. Every few years I would jump to a new exciting and challenging job. It allowed me to build out a solid skill set enough to start my own company. I want to hire people that have genuine pa

We've had a hard time finding quality candidates. In my experience, the Craigslist job board seems to be dying out. Is hotjobs your first stop in the hiring process?

Well said. The absurdity of saying "most New Yorkers couldn’t fry an egg if their lives depended on it" is what set me off. Also, the fact that I'm a living contradiction to nearly all of Antonio's points.

Having lived in the north east my entire life, I completely agree. Although, I built up a resistance to it after a while. It has definitely hurt some relationships in the past. But, can this attitude be said for lots of cities?

I completely agree with your point about Slicehost resizing not being a great production strategy. Our app servers (on Slicehost) were getting hammered yesterday, so I issue a resize (1GB -> 2GB). After about 20 minutes it gets to about

haha. that's awesome. it was a pretty fun project for MTV. they launched a show about it called Head and Body... After a quick googling it seems the show never took off.

Sounds just like an old marketing campaign of mine that we did about transplanting human heads. Good times.

I would have agreed with you, but now I'm back to the mighty mouse. Two reasons... 1. bluetooth latency issues with older MBP 2. the scrolling is too sensitive to the touch. have you tried Google maps? it's unusable.

Agreed. Two separate concepts. The only link is paying someone for a service. However, I've only spent 5 minutes on the site, and I've already spent $10. I'm already hooked...

I've been putting off buying a Drobo (with Network share) for Time Machine backups, but as a new father I need to get it ASAP. Besides Drobo, anyone have other suggestions?

Ha. Yes. We run a bank review site as part of the same brand. It shouldn't have been a surprise to us, but seeing how angry people can get about their banks is still shocking. They sound like crazy people. Here is a more recent bank review

Oh... and nobody leaves an actual comment. 1-star reviews without any information on why it's 1-star. our lowest rating with a comment is 3-stars.

Funny how life works... I just asked my wife about this the other day. It freaked her out a little bit, but I'm still thinking about doing it.

It took effort to create our _free_ app. We originally believed that having a highly branded app would outweigh the costs of development. One issue we're facing is negative reviews. Out of the thousands of downloads, we've had 25 one star r

I've purchased Windows 3.1, 95, 98, 2000 and XP. I'm finally at peace with that now that I know that part of the money has gone to people really who need it.

Yes. That's also part of the issue. I feel that if I get a good seed round from a reputable investor, I'll have a better funding profile. (I'm PMing you to figure that out... wait how do I PM?) We're bootstrapped, so I guess our funding pro

So, go straight to VC? We've spoken to a few seed investors and they really want to work with us, but we've always turned them down due to the amount of investment. But, they always claim to have great connections. Could you recommend any V
