   I found this book to be very helpful as well. The chapter on testing was outstanding too.

   Congrats, succeeding on your own terms is what it's all about. Thank you for sharing your story, we need more of this and less of "hot new shiny mobile-social-blah raises 69 million, hires XYZ hotshot and fires ABC hotshot."

   I wouldn't characterize that as a rant, Rails is a Ghetto was a rant. This was more of a reasoned venting. Too bad though, the guy seems like he's poured a lot of himself into these projects (from an outsider looking in).

   "Let me give you some concrete examples from his book." I wish every blog post included a line like this.

   I do the exact same thing and it makes for a nice, modular setup. I have a site.less that imports bootstrap.less and whatever other "legos" I need.

   There is not a price that is worth dealing with toxic customers. They undermine your confidence and make you resent your job. They also distract you from delivering what you promised to your good customers. My view is that it's healthy to s

   Good for him. Friendster was awesome and way ahead of the curve.

    I like that it's optional, but it would be cool if the US made election day a holiday as a way to increase turnout a bit. Everybody is distracted anyhow.

    My guess is that over a billion dollars can buy you some pretty damn sophisticated marketing. What email campaigns have more on the line than these?

    I would have killed for this a few months back and actually googled around without much success. I look forward to experimenting with this, I think it's a great idea.

    I agree. If you truly want to pay homage, perhaps wording like "inspired by Buffer" would work a little better. Nonetheless, congrats on shipping, can't wait to check it out.

    Well done. I'd love to give this a whirl on a client project, great idea. Please post some technical details on how on earth you connected all this stuff (in general terms without divulging any secret sauce).

    Amidst all the weird negativity and to-and-fro, just wanted to say "DEATH TO PAYPAL API INTEGRATIONS!" Go Braintree. Go Stripe. Go Recurly. Go CheddarGettar. Go Spreedly. Go whomever has the guts to tackle this beast! Apologies to my friend

    Specificity PSA: Don't use !important unless you absolutely, positively have to. Recently I've run into WordPress themes where the author doesn't grasp the cascade and resorts to using !important. Widgets embedded on third-party sites are a

    Give them hell for all of us who've been subsidizing their bloatware all these years! Love it. I wish some well-financed Mac devs would build a Photoshop/Fireworks killer....

    The fact that someone would take the time to help someone in such depth restores my faith in humanity. With a picture to boot.

    These guys ship like crazy. I've used the service for a client and am in the process on two others. Highly recommended, especially if you've ever been in PayPal integration hell.

    Cool service! Worked great on the stylesheet I tested. You might consider describing the service and benefits on the page you process the file on. I wasn't sure what the service did immediately.

    Beanstalk and Deploy are both nice as well. I've used Beanstalk extensively and love it. - http://beanstalkapp.com/ - http://www.deployhq.com/
