I was really excited about Twitter (and some similar apps with lots of buzz) and signed up, used the friend importer against all the supported apps I had an account with and... Nothing. FriendFeed? Same deal. Most of the people I've found

I was most intrigued by the thought of code editing as a serious part of Firefox. I don't know much about XUL, so I will need to read up, but I thought it would be quite sexy if I built an editor which binds to Heroku using the API. A loc

We're way off topic, so how's about you send me a link or something by email. I'm not very knowledgeable about spoken word, but if it's good for poetry I'm at least interested in seeing what you're planning/doing.

I'm in Marketing, and I think it crept in. Sorry about that. One of the things that I think holds "internet" poets back is that they don't get together in groups and critique each other. Work together is a better condensation of that, so

Elevator pitch for my poetry app (not a startup/business): The Internet is encouraging more poets to write and share, but it is not helping them collaborate and improve and most apps wall up an author's content. Clarity and conciseness. Ho

Old school reporting was about doing a lot of work and then passing informed judgement. So, I think this was a little im/pre-mature. What I've decided, having used FriendFeed for a while, is that the direction everyone needs this to go is

That's why we need more female tech entrepreneurs. Mud wrestling is hawt. [with apologies to all women, ever, for making a joke at your expense]

Amen. I've used blogger since 2000, if I remember correctly. The service is clunky. It does not have Google polish. I had to hack the template code just to not show every single tag I've ever used and only show over a threshold. If I ge

Google Maps seems to do a pretty good job of parsing addresses. Given a database of say, US city names, state names and zip codes, could an API not be built that would recognize something like that and wrap it in a microformat either by a

The average Joe seems to be moving towards a web presence based on a blogging platform or a social network or a CMS. If app providers build semantically and enterprises or large data set publishers build semantically, you could conceivably

Modified quote: "How will people like me who really like Twitter and use it in personally useful ways going to manage without Twitter?" You might not be that person (note: I'm not), but to assume the other types don't exist or that their

My goal is to allow the use of OpenID, to minimize as much as possible the DRY violation that is profiles (e.g. keep the minimum amount on my system, make whatever I use the most re-usable and source images, etc. from an already established

I wouldn't consider that settling :-)

by justindz 19y ago
Yeah, I was wondering if this competes with Clickpass? I want to add OpenID to my app and was contemplating using Clickpass. Does anyone smarter than me have an assessment of the relative strengths or weaknesses?

Eating smaller meals isn't a bad approach. Don't snack should have been "don't eat packaged snack food" because it's more likely to be junk. So, we agree. If you want to slice up some cucumber and dip some humus, that's probably fine. If

If you are a programmer and strongly left-brained (not always the same thing), I'd suggest tricking yourself into thinking you have a logical approach to interpersonal relationships and then going to social gatherings quickly before you ove

I generally agree that the ad blog thing is overdone. I swore on my blog that I will never introduce AdWords because I don't like ads on anyone else's blog and I think it disrespects what the reader visits for. Also, I think it causes you

Be vegan and don't snack or drink soda. I graduated college at 5'10" and 140lbs. ;-) Actually, here's what I would recommend: - Stop drinking soda. Drink less beer and more wine and whiskey. Hoooyah. - Don't snack and do get in to things

If I'm really in the zone, I'll listen to punk or hardcore like AFI or Saetia and not notice. Other times, I pretty much stick to cello or violin music. Mostly, silence.

On your first point, I think he's suggesting something like "a lazy programmer will right great, detailed unit tests because he's too lazy do all the work by hand and not excited about fixing obscure bugs down the road." Seems a bit odd to

Wouldn't this depend entirely on who considers your application or interviews you? If so, what you might be suggesting is that, on average, significantly more people that are likely to consider you for CS employment will be concerned by a

The guys is arguing that because degrees are held more widely now, they are less differentiating. That's not a reason, necessarily, to stop valuing a degree. Perhaps it indicates that employers and resumes need to look past "went to my cl

I was hoping for examples of YCombinator companies to go with each of the arguments about success (or failure, but that might be picking on them). That would have bolstered the assertions and made it sit better with me.
