There are some flash-in-the-pan things and some that are evergreen. When it comes to the former, getting HN front-paged, a Techcrunch write-up, PH, etc tends to lead to a spike in traffic and eye balls, but very rarely do you get your true

I hypothesize that the list of ideas that will be posted here will make for great examples of what not to build if you're considering commercial value. Developers and the HN crowd make for a very small market and are very hard to mon

For anyone confused and reading into it too much, it's really just a Chinese word for what is a universal behavior across all human societies. When Elon buys SolarCity and the CEO is his cousin, that's guanxi. When your boss gives

Regarding W2s: I suppose expectations are different when you're in the sales world. I had a conversation with a marketing person the other day and she was surprised that engineers spend so much time during interviews. When I explained

This article must have been written with an implicit ARPU in mind. For lots of low ARPU companies, milestone 1 and milestone 2 are going to be inverted. That is, you'll likely get 10 paying customers before finding true product market

This doesn't allow for new people to enter the system, like new college graduates. While hiring within the circle is great for consistency, it also means you may be missing out on great talent. At fast enough growth rates, you'll

Why are you married to Rails? Sure, it's pleasant to work in, but being so tied down to one stack is an antipattern considering how quickly technology moves. Sell yourself as more of a talented full-stack developer who can apply knowle

1250 is very interesting. Think of all the modern day cultures that the Mongol Empire encompassed at the time. Just visually impressive to watch it grow in the years leading up to the peak. Also, anyone else get an urge to play Civilization

You can turn this feeling around into something more productive/lucrative: The feeling is a reminder that there are audiences that don't perceive value the same way you do. Specifically, audiences that are not male, geek/tech

Your first sentence blew my mind. I've read lots of incredible things on HN (billion dollar acquisitions, drones that ship products, self driving cars), but for some reason this comment steals the show. Too many questions flooding into

Since you bring up Sirlin, I would recommend Yomi, which is a card game that is very balanced and very competitive. I don't think it's as deep as chess, but I certainly enjoy playing it.

If you look at the list above you'll notice that there are plenty of well-funded companies as well as bootstrapped companies. Zendesk has raised $85M. On the other end of the spectrum, you have Tender and Lighthouse from ENTP, which are not

Not to be overlooked is how simple they've made the process of integration as a developer. You don't need to write any code to integrate with Zapier. I originally had a skype chat with Mike thinking that integrating with them would be a b

One of the biggest strengths for Vagrant is Chef (or Puppet if you prefer). Anything that requires "apt-get *" as part of your instructions after "vagrant up" and you're just doing it wrong. Check your Vagrantfile and associated recipes int
