This is helpful, thank you. Based on this definition of fitness how would we evaluate the design of Craigslist, Comic Sans, and the Drudge Report?

Thanks. I'll read it. The idea that a poorly designed product can't truly be said to look good seems subjective. Could you elaborate? (Especially on how this might relate to digital design?)

The challenge is that the definition of "what is design" (especially on the web) keeps evolving. I think a good product embodies just enough design + engineering to make something useful. The risk, specifically with visual design, is that

Yes, I'm deliberately focusing on "visual design" or "how a product looks" in this post. But I think you've pointed out something poignant: for many, design is "making something look good".

Here are two good examples of successful SaaS apps that use both tiered pricing and pay-as-you-go: 1. Mailchimp - http://mailchimp.com/pricing/ 2. Campaign Monitor - http://www.campaignmonitor.com/pricing/ I'm guessing that they do th

This note is interesting: "Don't get 1000 fans (never really worked)" . Love the idea of looking for 150 true customers instead. The marketing breakdown (on how to get those 150) that Jason gives is excellent (OP wrote them down in the pos

Exactly. This has been my experience as well (especially in companies with no set process for salary reviews).

I also wonder if his situation is unique to his industry: He works in the "securities industry as a proprietary trader and hedge fund manager".

Part of what the OP is saying is true: I've been rewarded by employers (especially at the beginning) by working hard, not making demands, and delivering more "value" than I received in compensation. Working hard and delivering more value th

I have a show called Product People: great products and the people who build them (software, apps, ebooks). http://productpeople.tv Also highly recommend: Startups for the Rest of Us.

While I'm not that interested in music discovery, I would definitely be interested in podcast discovery. I'd be interested in seeing what podcasts the people I follow on Twitter are listening to.

They weren't talking about me, they were talking about themselves. Often, when people (myself included) write comments we're making an instant, gut reaction. We might have only read the title, the tl;dr, or heard second-hand. But it ignit

Exactly. There's an opportunity cost with everything we do. Personally, I'm a "grind it out" kind of guy. Yesterday I stayed at the office, late into the night, trying to solve a problem myself. I got home (at like 8pm) and my wife said: "W
