Business plans are very much like 'big design' documentation. If you have a 50+ page business plan that took you weeks to research & write you either become stuck with executing that plan no matter what, or you spend an inordinate amoun

Well... habermann24 ( https://github.com/habermann24/libphonenumber-ruby ) looks like he's started on a ruby port and he also has his phoney library which doesn't appear to use the same dataset and doesn't work properly for Australia. I am

Well, when you think about the amount of data collection required to reach this level of coverage I don't blame a smallish start-up like Twilio for not having a library. After all, if you want to test to see if a number is valid, try and ca

Found this today whilst I was looking for a solution to standardised formatting of phone numbers. I was hoping for a ruby solution, but this is an extremely complete library supporting formatting and validation for 228 countries/regions.

Hmm, a startup where the founder doesn't seem to be of a technical nature and is in charge of a remote, low-cost outsource team from South America. If my experience with handling low-cost outsource teams from S.E. Asia and India are anythin

Aww... you got my hopes up for _why's return and you reminded me how much I missed his contributions to the ruby community. If you're out there somewhere _why, please come back. We miss you.

I can't believe I've never thought of this before and it's not a new idea. Why haven't I heard this blogged about before? If I think back to all my good colour schemes they all meet this suggestion. I just never connected the dots before.

Well, not my blog and I don't subscribe to the WSJ because most of the articles don't really relate to me. After reading the WSJ article, I find that just because it is longer doesn't mean it provides me with any more useful information tha

This is definitely not common practice. It's not even uncommon practice. Most small-scale investors ($20k is small scale) usually can't afford to invest in start-ups that they are active founders in themselves and are usually bitter when th

So the point here in this 1000+ word article is that it's not what you know, but who you know? A good point to understand about life if you haven't gotten it yet.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Good development practices already encompass all of these issues and a great developer can skill up for a new language in a few weeks. The issue is that there is a lack of great developers in the world, not that m

I wonder why they are disappearing? This type of tracking has existed as delivery receipts in email for a long time but a lot of web-based mail providers break this functionality. I thought they were onto a winner here for corporate use.
