Transcoding is a pain, even when using an awesome service like Zencoder. I love the idea of being able to put the path to my video in a query parameter and be done with it. Really great work! One suggestion would be to make the description

I was taught that you should solve the problem first, and then write the code. TDD doesn't change that; it forces you to at least define the problem before you take a stab at writing the code. Of course, as you delve deeper into the pr

She/he is talking about exactly what everyone else is talking about. That's TDD. "Didn't check the literature" may have meant that the reply didn't come after reading the referenced book.

I've definitely been guilty of this. It took me months of struggling, hoping people will use my product before I really thought deeply about why they'll use my product. Successful products address real needs. Intrinsic motivation

You can tell that Obama doesn't believe in what he's saying in 2013. There's just so much hesitation in his words. In 2007, he believed in what he said - that security is not an excuse to violate the civil liberties of the pe
