I've been pretty vocal about my problem with the popularity contest, but there's no denying Dribbble's ability to have followers and the number of those followers greatly enhances the promotion of your product if you let your designer pos

From what I understand, they bought it and then let it hang to dry despite a solid community with lots of ideas.

As per a comment below, designers/people "don't know what IRC is." I agree with you (and anyone working in web should understand its technologies -- past and present), but that's an argument.

Interesting. So that reply was ages old, but in the event that you're dealing with a manager like that today - what is the best thing to do outside of leaving the organization?

Ditto. Was expecting it to tell me about the dinners before the groups in my area. I assumed (because of the interests I put in) that the Young Professionals Group was hosting a dinner so I "joined" it. Then when I was on my profile, I real

Thanks for the reply - those would both be really helpful! Actually another question -- my boyfriend ( http://www.lastplacefootwear.com ) is currently trying to get a feel for what designs of his people are into before he sets out to spend

Will it ever be possible to import my Svpply feed and distribute those into collections? It'd also be nice if there were some grid presets for creating a new collection, since how someone organizes/presents their set has a lot to do with wh

Correcting someone on Twitter draws a lot more attention to the conversation than necessary and, in my experience, people react more defensively because of it. I also don't think it makes for very good UX to have to go to an entirely differ

I laughed at the premise alone, but seeing the submissions and trying it out myself was a blast. Great work on this. I'd almost like to see an X vs. Y poetry slam.

My biggest gripe with Coderwall is that without comments, there's a lot of stolen content in addition to no way to correct someone when they're off about something or give them a better suggestion.

Whether it's IE, FF3.6 or whomever else, I'll blame them for stifling my creativity and ability to make things work and look good in a timeframe that doesn't make me pull my hair out. Telling us that we're not meant to work in web if we can

Yeah, I think Penny Arcade has the right idea by letting people know that after the initial goal is met, there are hidden and pre-discovered goals that they are sure they can attain with that extra funding. That foresight is important, so l

This is something that bothers me about Kickstarters that raise more than they wanted; they think that it means they'll have the funding to continue to ideate and act on it. Considering the string of blog posts about money disappearing from

Absolutely. It takes a few seconds to do a once-over of your website copy and a few seconds more to change it.

I think this is a pretty drastic way to interpret Rocketr's blog post and the subsequent HN thread. Something I've been trying to tell myself for years is write that post, because even if I'm wrong, I can always trust the internet to co

I've gotta say, apps that utilize the same diagonal-line structure as native iOS apps are confusing, even more when they use the same blue that everyone else does ( http://pxldot.com/post/26373071943/apples-icon-ecosystem-or-... ). I unders

Don't take it too harshly, the site is the equivalent of the web design listings on CraigsList without the extra clicks.

Really great advice. I take too much consideration of my stats on other sites and it really shouldn't be about that unless I'm in full-on sell mode, and that isn't what most personal blogs should be.

In a similar vein, I attribute my passion for UX and design to my stupidity; I need things to be as straight-forward/easy/friendly as possible. I can be pretty annoying to be around when a process (airports, business protocols, etc.) don't

With no-bullshit audiences that tell it like it is, you sometimes need to read between the lines. I'm not condoning the behavior, but it is not foreign to HN and something to consider before posting here.

Why is honest criticism not allowed? Don't you want to know why people are averse to your service so you can perfect it, no less directly from the people who would pay for it?
