I saw agile implemented at a smaller team at a large corp. They explained their approach to me in about 3 sentences when I joined as an intern. They had no scum master because they didn't add a scrum master initially so no scrum mast

I was at this point until I quit my job to go all-in on my start-up. My management technique was pretty much to remind myself that if this fails, I have a full-time job to fall back to. Remember, you may be splitting your time and energy

Maybe this will finally push Valve to upgrade to 128 tick competitive servers if they wish to grow CS:GO quicker. Think about it ... we're getting open-source game engines with streaming and competitive scenes reigniting, this is aweso

One of mine is to prepend "[ Local ]" to the title so all of my tabs are easily differentiable without opening each one to know if its dev or prod.

I write all of my internal documentation in Markdown and then use a pandoc script to convert it to offline PDFs, rendered HTML, and break out internal vs. public facing documentation.

This was fun to jump through - if I didn't immediately 'feel' the answer after reading the question, I wrote it down because clearly that's a problem issue for me/my product.

And that's how you do it, well done Stripe! Glad to know that the money they received from me through their API use is being well used and having a positive effect :-)

To me it's about knowing how a system (of any kind) works and exploring how that system can be used based on what you know. The important thing is the effect/intent is completely independent of the definition. People inject their

There's definitely flaws, but keep in mind, it's merely an accelerometer, not a 9-degree IMU. I just left it on my non-dominant wrist and the FitBit and JawBone have both been pretty close, though my BodyMedia (which goes just be

Bootstrapped solo-tech founder here, I'm creating my portfolio/blog, hopefully I'll have something to send your way soon enough.

I'm also wondering how many of those pipeline deals are from accelerator-backed start-ups and how many of those don't realize bootstrapping is an option for some. It just seems like lately, if you have an idea, you make a landi

fwiw I made a chrome extension to do auto importing from Fito and LoseIt, you basically just set the date-range and if you want to overwrite on TSR's side and it does the rest (Track -> Integrators or Settings->Integrators)

The way I approach it with my users is there is a link on every page to report bugs and request features. Bugs get attention, features get considered. I also follow a [ feature ] -> [ tech-debt && bug fixing ] -> [ optimizat
