It depends on the perspective. I tend to think a lot about a "huge startup soon" but not as a prize, but as a completely different set of challenges that needs to be kept in mind right now. For instance, what I need to improve in order to b

I'd be even more drastic. I'm a huge fan of objectives, key results. There's a decent description of this approach from Pincus himself: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/31/business/31corner.html?pag...

I always find it insulting when someone assumes that developers are motivated only by technical challenges, and if there's no carrot and stick, they tend to focus on the most hardcore, yet unimportant, stuff. Developers are not stupid. On t

The another problem with the hour is that -- I don't know how about other people -- but I'm the most productive in the early morning, or very late night. My mind is completely focused on work then. If there's a meeting, or whatever, it mean

I think that it all depends on the PM. If your PM understands that it is OK to do nothing sometimes, it is completely different story than PM who expects some work every day. It nails down my problem with most of the methodologies: they all

I'd say that there's no difference between the legal concept and the regular one. I don't know how in the US, but in Europe it is illegal to write publicly "Joe Average, a murderer", if the person had no trial, yet. Regardless of the widely

Were they lawbreakers if there was no trial? I'd say that you're innocent unless proven guilty.

Michael, thanks! Awesome work. If I might suggest one improvement: I'd change @title with content_for. A class attribute needlessly messes View and Controller.

The problem is that no one has any direct control over the system. It is like any other big company. The call centre people are never responsible for the mess the company made to you. However, if you do not want to devote significant resour

Fuc^W My deepest condolences to their families. I'm suspicious it is somehow related to the oil overlords. Big money, big risks.

It made me wonder what are else things we leak, using Twitter.

Makes me think whether using Twitter is worth it.

Good point. I start to move my e-mail out of Gmail. Their approach to privacy freaks me out.

That's true. I think, the affiliate is a good start. Once you're big, it's silly to leave money on the table. Obviously, you have to be careful with the industry you pick, so it's big enough. What I'm speaking, though, is about relatively s

One thing that always surprise me about most of the web startups is why we're so reluctant to the affiliate marketing. The industry has a bad name, I agree. On the other hand, it's just selling something for a provision. It does not have to

The cookie slows down the things a bit. I've never had such problem but what about complete randomization of static URLs, so they are not easily findable? If the leaks are the issue, one might want to change the names, or just filesystem sy
