Pretty cool! As a developer who's currently quite lacking in design capabilities, it's nice to hear about the more product-focused side of things. Will definitely be following this site & the interviewees on Twitter.

They had an app where you could easily schedule a ride for the next day. It took away the opaqueness that comes with using private transportation.

It definitely has some part. I don't think the reason really matters. It's a variety of things including personality that somehow eek out of the niche field into the mainstream that causes a singular person to become associated wi

Chris Sacca is one of the few VCs that people outside of the SV bubble and even the tech world know and associate with the valley. He, along with Mark Cuban & potentially a few others will likely be part of the few of this era remembere

That's true, my comment was probably short-sighted. I received federal loans, so my name is in that database. Like you said, crazier things have happened.

This is a really interesting engineering problem. You have plenty of constraints with competing interests with a defined set of inputs (teams) & sets (weeks). There needs to be parity within the matchups and across the season. Teams mus

Can the state currently send your kids to war? By this, I mean forcefully via a draft. I was under the impression that it's a no for now and for the foreseeable future.

Congrats on starting, building, and finishing (at least the first iteration!) a side project. And the cherry on top is that the docs look really good!

Congrats! Few questions I have - I'm also not knowledgable about the space, so forgive me if they come off a bit naive. 1. Can you give me an example of how a company would use Mux? I can't quite grasp that from this page alone +

While the most galvanizing image was the one where Jock Semple attempted to pull her off the course, another thing that disturbed me was Boston Athletic Association director Will Cloney's quote afterward: "If that girl were my dau

The always fantastic NPR-produced podcast Planet Money had a recent episode on how the founder of a Bitcoin company dreamed up a new currency system based around the blockchain while he was locked up in prison. Pretty fascinating and a grea

Agree 100%. I source almost all my news via Twitter - I haven't found a product that streams relevant information / news quite as well. I don't really get all the backlash toward Twitter, other than surfacing more news /

Does anyone still use CoffeeScript? I guess legacy projects, but new projects can use es6 + Babel or Typescript and get most (if not all?) of CoffeeScript's functionality.

Agreed, but the concept & use of their app is (supposed to be) much simpler so it's not quite comparing apples to apples.

I'm actually on iOS. I used to be a version or two behind, but with an iPhone 6 I expect the camera to open & be ready to shoot video within 2 seconds, which doesn't happen currently. It's much slower and I usually don&#x

This could be really cool. I welcome a more consolidated place to source development-based content as I find independent development blogs are hard to find and even harder to follow. Best wishes to the team behind this.

I've always been amazed by the product adaptability of Snapchat in spite of the apps technical shortcomings, so much so that I believed the buginess of their app may have only applied to myself. In a world where Amazon loses X% of doll

Totally agree. There's a sense of satisfaction when refactoring legacy callback code to a simple promise chain. It's even better when the functions called in succession have names that read out concisely and clearly the behavior o
