I generally don't buy subscription software for personal use, but when I do, I buy from Github. And paying Github as a business is a no-brainer.

I tried comparing some plans, but it always gives me 500 with the very familiar red "We're sorry, but something went wrong." message. At least I know you are using Rails. And now I know in terms I can understand why healthcar

"In fact, he believes one day all the Uber cars on the road may be driving themselves." What piece of "cars driving themselves" does Uber have? Uber has an app. Google has self driving cars and they can also build an app

It's the same for me. Bootstrap is so easy to build upon that it's much easier to just code it up than bang my head against another tool. I hardly need to write any CSS besides the minor customization of colors/fonts. Maybe i

When writing values, it's better to write very concrete examples as well. e.g. If you value "trust", mention that an employee can leave work anytime to attend to their personal matters without showing any proof. The company t

Can you please share how you marketed the app? What worked and what didn't? Everyone: When sharing information about your app, I would request people to share marketing approaches as well. It would greatly help people who are just gett

I feel the same way about patriotism. It is a sentiment that has served its purpose and it's time to move on.

Since most of my changes to the notes happen on one device (my laptop), I have never had any conflicts. Using nvALT on different computers sharing the same notes folder through Dropbox does have some problems which the nvALT website recogni

I use nvALT ( http://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/ ). It's a Notational Velocity fork that syncs with SimpleNote. Since it saves the notes in text files, I have put them in a Dropbox folder. The notes direc

Building automated test is like getting a flywheel going. Sure it might be difficult to start, but once it's gets going, it will take you very far with little incremental effort.

I am very excited and hopeful about technologies like these. Computers, mechanics, neuroscience, software and all the other technologies are at such a stage that we can clearly notice their mind boggling advancement in a handful of years. W

I agree. I am a vim fanboy, but I don't see myself using this. Presentation is about how best you can convey an idea, and I don't see this being flexible enough to help me do that.

I use https://github.com/skwp/dotfiles for all my vim and zsh needs. I don't need/want to maintain my plugins and I like the recommended shortcuts.

My thoughts exactly. The external world does not work based on someone's passion. Whatever we do is the result of the sum of all the things in our life and not just our work life. If you found your passion and it also pays your bills, great

Sometimes my wife sends me a link to a Fab.com item. I am not registered and it asks me to register before I can see that item. I just close the window.

In the past, I too would have thought that good code needs to take a backseat when shipping is a priority. But now I have realizes that if I just think for about 5-10 minutes, I am able to avoid a lot of mess for almost no penalty in shippi

Looking at all this incredible talent makes my mind boggle with amazement. It's more than just the skill, it's being able to reach out to people in innovative ways that make the best impression. Pumping up a resume seems to be less and less

Markup and CSS are the ones that generally slow me down the most. I really like where Bootstrap is going. It's a great boon for developers in my opinion, not to mention quick prototyping of designs for everyone.

This is not unexpected, but a very sad "Kodak moment." I can't help but think about Innovator's Dilemma when I think about Kodak. Didn't they decide not to pursue digital camera so that they don't cannibalize their film business?

Whenever I worry about failing, I try to remind myself what Felix Dennis said, "After a lifetime of making money and observing better men and women than me fall by the wayside, I am convinced that fear of failing in the eyes of the world is

Trade-off between building quick functionality vs a flexible, maintainable code is a business decision. Engineers at a startup cannot sit down and design a system for months that will work for 10 million users. However, they also cannot pa

It's just incredibly sad when you see such people leave the country because of immigration issues. I have been reading their posts and can say this with confidence that Leo and Joel are just getting started with Buffer.

I generally don't like the use of a metaphor as an argument since it often misses the point. Watching a movie without paying is not the same as stealing. I cannot give it to someone else what I have watched, I can't sell it, etc. But even i
