I'd love to see this data as well.

"The real reason startups don’t use .NET is based more on culture than technology." Ding ding ding, we have a winner. It's more about which tribe you want to belong to than anything these days.

Sendgrid is fantastic. Well-documented, easy-to-use, and full-featured. We recently set it up for a client and were impressed with the stats in particular. Postmark looks nice too. I'd be inclined to trust my money to the same crew that run

This reference is golden: "Post-traction companies can use the old numbers – you can’t. Your first two engineers? They’re just late founders. Treat them as such. Expect as much." Another point he addresses that rings true to me: programmer'

Big fan of Dan, but he sure takes his time getting to what he uses. Fast forward about 6 minutes in for the goods.

Thank you! I've done this dozens of times and never knew, none of the tutorials I've looked up reference it.

I moved to Austin from SF and was told by a friend prior to moving that "Austin is California surrounded by Alabama." You can definitely sense a cultural contrast outside of Austin.

Excellent story and impressive discipline. What was your prior experience with computers or technology in general?

Two things struck me: - the quality of thinking displayed in this post - what is in the world is it doing on the delicious clone I signed up for? This is the same guy that writes about scaling hardware, no? Keep it coming.

Rapportive is useful. I've found that I've written more personalized emails since I can see a pic of person I'm writing too. It's also handy for small talk. "I saw your Tweet about Conference X, how was it?"

Great idea and well-executed, congrats on the launch. How'd you build it (get course info, tech stack, etc.)?

I found it surprising that product was actually shipped. I've always assumed they'd take your money and run. Fascinating work. Thanks.

I learned a ton and only watched half of it. This guy can really break things down.

mso-normal made me laugh out loud. Glad it didn't make the cut.

Don't be put off, most owners of their own companies are running around like chickens with their heads cut off for a chance to make it big. If you have an easy day gig that pays well and have time to hack on the side, consider yourself in g

How can you damage a trashy, publicity-stunt-driven brand by shooting an elephant? You can't. GoDaddy is light-years ahead of the competition in terms of marketing. He may have lost several thousand bucks do to some discerning geeks, which

This is totally in line with my experience (own a web design/dev shop). We talk about the "warm fuzzy feeling" in terms of making other people look good. - make your clients look good to their stakeholders - make someone look good to their

I found the Dimensions of Advice particularly useful. It can found at the 45:20 mark.

This line in the last paragraph sums it up: "Stop reveling in the misfortune of others."

Mailchimp & Campaign Monitor are the class of the bunch, you can't go wrong with either one. Easy templating, nice stats, A/B testing, autoresponders, API, good customer service. iContact and Vertical Response are my next two favs, espe

#24: Win at all costs by being ruthless and ego-maniacal. See: Cartwright, Brown, Juanita, HOF speech, etc. Sorry, couldn't resist. More of a Magic/Bird guy. :)

Thoughtful piece, although it could have been delivered without calling out folks in the title. I assume the author, Le Corbusier and Neilsen all want the best for themselves and users. Maybe I'm a sap.

Fireworks still suits me best for prototyping and slicing. I'd rather give my money to Pixelmator or an indie though. Somebody could make a fortune building an OS X app that supports legacy layered PSDs and PNGs.

Does anyone else find is amusing that a framework named after a human being is complaining about someone else sorta-not-really using their name? Lame. Who cares.

News flash: every highly competitive search vertical is full of this and has been for years.

Impressive, to be sure. But terms like "anything" and "ever" are hyperbolic. Flash isn't going anywhere for years.
