To build a common strong knowledge. The thought that people are solving a problem I've already solved disturbs me. It's also true vice versa.

There is a limited amount of workers you can run with 512mb of memory (max 3 for my application) and the random routing can overload one dyno while the others are doing nothing. Basically you have to scale and pay more when with Digital Oce

On Heroku I was using thin that forced me to scale horizontally to handle more than one request at the same time. With this setup I can set a number of unicorn workers bigger than 1 and I'm done. I can scale vertically until I can and then

I've tried their service a few weeks ago, but they had a problem related to my particular Gemfile so I abandoned it for the moment. Their product is great and I'm sure they will iron out these small bugs, but for now it's not a valid option

My experience with Foundation has been great. The only thing I really didn't like was the markup full of classes a la bootstrap, and now they've fixed it! There has never been a better time for the semantic web.

Sharing something beautiful you did will always be a need. I am talking about serial, massive sharing. Every share is the same. All the food pictures on Instagram, all the places at the beach on Foursquare are shared mostly to brag. When th

I agree it may be in its infancy but so many of the startups I see (among the ones that fail too) are all about sharing and nothing else. A joke that turned into viable idea[1] is emblematic. Foursquare started like you say, but I'd say it'

I tend to feel this way as well about clones, however your example IMHO doesn't really catch the problem. If the Italian restaurant is very good and aimed at a selective audience it can win against a big brand that aims at everyone. Of cour

I'm wondering if the reasoning that you should build a startup based on your own needs is applicable to ideas that have already been solved abroad and will not be imported in your country for some time. We don't live all in the Silicon Vall
