As per the experience, I think it makes sense, both for real life and role playing games :)

A more accurate way imho to see this data is: "Tooling support, measured by how many rules GitHub's .gitignore has"

Our approach is very simple. Each feature or bug needs to be reviewed by one person of the team, anyone with decent tech skills and enough knowledge on the language. For such a naive approach is fundamental to teach people have to do the re

In my view, onsite work is only good for two things: 1. Team building. There is no doubt being around the office is good for socialising and creating stronger bounds. 2. Stronger junior people or people that need direction. Many, many, many

Works with any industry. Sure, there is highly rewarded lawyer or accountant professionals. Just as there is highly rewarded developers. But all others tend to be pushed by younger and cheaper workforce. And Software is one of those blessed

Sure there is tons of new cheap developers. More than ever. And that's because there is more demand for developers and software than ever. Years ago you could only sell software running on gigantic servers or desktop computers. Now the

Now, seriously, if a software engineer in his/her forties is unemployable in 2015, what the heck is an accountant, lawyer, a builder, a painter or a woodworker to just name a few? Come on. We are so lucky we did choose technology as a

I can't really help you with the legal issues as I'm not from the US, but, as others have mentioned bear in mind these days many cancerous lumps can be removed with non-that-intrusive local surgery. So, be positive! If that's

I think there is awesome explanations here, but put in very simple terms there is many startups that experiment, create some nice product but can't really market it. They might have good numbers but they don't have the muscle to r

Those people's lives will go down with the next game then whether is FarmCrush, or Angryville, or CandyBirds. It does not matter. So... well... better give the money to a good cause imho.

Being also an IDE guy I must admit I find also a bit painful to get back to plain text editors. I normally use Eclipse + the JavaScript plugin but mainly because I already have open Eclipse for other projects. But anyways, I just wanted to

There is nothing wrong in needing SO. I totally agree with the article that the initial source of documentation should not be SO though. Want to learn something? Yeah, then SO is not the starting place. Grab the tool, read the docs, browse

Congrats on the brave move to launching your own projects. On a side note, if I were you I would move the project from SourceForge to github. There is barely anyone using sf.net these days and github social features might also help your pro

Flipping the flip side, actually your point is what I found most challenging from working remotely. You really need to probe each day that your work can't be outsourced that easily. I've constantly put myself over the last few yea

First of all, best of luck with this guys. This approach has been already tried many different times. I've got some friends that really pushed really high on that whole "recruiting via web scrapping" thing - https:/&#x2

by mpermar 13y ago
Sure. As I said, there is many good points on your business. However I would be way less critical if you marketed your product as a futon/mat instead of a mattress, i.e. as what it is. And although I really like how you've done yo

So as per your reasoning I take low-end products with happy customers are immediately promoted by the magic of Amazon ratings to premium high-end products. Good to know as next time I plan to buy a car I can go for an Honda Fit ( btw, no of

No. Mattresses breath mainly from the bed frame area. On humid areas for example a foam-only mattress is a not a good choice if you have a bed frame with no ventilation at all, like a storage bed frame for example as you will have to air t

Not even close. No matter how porous the foam is, you can't match a spring. But bear in mind this factor can or cannot be relevant depending on where you live. If you live on a dry place, it does not matter; also if you take good care

Sorry but what you are saying does not make any sense at all. When you are buying mattresses from different brands, it's not the same product but with different label. There is thousands of variations. So basically it's like if yo

That's why I emphasize it. I think you took my point above the other way around.
