At the risk of feeding the trolls, I'll bite. Who is this "obvious" to? Clearly not you, since you think it's a horrible idea. Electronic skateboards have been around for quite awhile, and until now, they've been very heavy and mostly impra

I guess you'll just have to "share the road" and stay behind them until it's safe to pass ;)

This comment is proof that no matter how awesome the product in an article posted to HN, somebody will always find a way to declare that it will certainly fail. Your comment contains so many factual inaccuracies that it's not even worth deb

I'm not sure why you reacted this way. You're the creator, and the designs are wildly different. There's no licensing infringement with you because you aren't Linotype, and this project is not for profit. I'm sure you're a nice enough guy i

So anyone who won't accept your pull request or doesn't think it has merit is a neckbeard living in a basement? Yeah, this isn't totally emotion-driven or biased at all.

Looks like you had your haterade this morning.

Great design has almost nothing to do with the tools used.

If knowing how to type "yum install ruby-devel" qualifies as "deep Ruby knowledge", I must be some kind of god.

There is no article attached to this post. Just the homepage of a small piece of software targeted at developers who are familiar with installing gems. If YOU read the content that was linked, you'd see there is a very long README targeted

Gems ARE only for people who develop in ruby.

Thanks for writing this. As a 20-something startup CEO, I frequently want to write about something mundane (or not) but often choose not to for reasons of confidentiality or that I worry some things will cause problems for me later. I don't

Looks like it requires a plugin. That's a shame.

I think the above came off as overly harsh. I'm sure you're a talented entrepreneur. I have just been seeing so many blanket statements being put out there about startups, and as a guy with a startup who works pretty hard on it - this one r

The advice in your post is terrible because it only applies in some situations. Blog posts like that help nobody because they lack context and if you're simply passing down advice, it's like playing a game of telephone. I'm not shooting the

Don't change what you're doing based on blog posts like this. Better yet, don't ever read blog posts like this. There is a cancer in the startup community and it's advice like this. Very detailed and specific advice by people with absolutel

This is great!

This works for small services and apps, but I think it'd be quite a maddening exercise to try and keep a large codebase consistent and organized with that method.

They actually claimed nothing of the sort. That statement is a pretty liberal interpretation of what Microsoft said. Microsoft is simply saying that the Start Button in its current form was not compelling enough to provide any long term val

For Ruby people wanting something similar, check out https://github.com/delano/drydock I've been looking for an excuse to use it.

What are you even talking about? He's doing it for cash. Seems to be working out fine to me.

I've never heard of Dustin Curtis, and I've said "you should follow me on Twitter" before. It's a pretty basic phrase, and I'd bet 99% of the people who use it haven't heard of him either.

If you'd turn down funding from legendary VC firms because they have a shitty website... well good luck with that.

Ah, good point, I suppose an organization could just run this internally.

The problem with this service and smaller services like it is that they are very likely to go offline with no warning.

Keep going! It's more fun to compete with no funding! It frustrates competitors with deep pockets.

You're attempting (and failing) to belittle a company which just sold for $200,000,000. They clearly had very broad appeal. Sorry you're feeling a little jealous. Try not to let it show so much.

Iminlikewithyou was way ahead of its time and I'll always remember it as the site that made me realize rich real-time user interaction was possible on the Web.
