Maybe it's shorthand for "{this()}" ? Sorry couldn't resist. I'm not really bothered by it in the comments, I guess it's kind of a substitue for "agreed" or "totally".

Hi, great work! Very clean and easy to play. I just played a game against your AI - I should've lost but it got stuck at the very end. I had a king and 2 blocked pawns, AI had queen, king and 1 pawn. It should've moved in for a checkmate at

Great read, but I think that if the VCs can resist the temptation of investing too much too early there does exist a positive outcome. We might just see feature development moving away from teams in big companies into smaller, independent t

Don't get me wrong, lambdas are really useful and elegant, I just think they should be used when there is a purpose other than simply making the code succinct - such as limiting scope. I've seen people use them instead purely to reduce the

In the realm of software, which is diffuclt to defend, I like how much of a barrier to entry these companies create just by virtue of collecting data no one else does. Even google can't really compete here right away, because in each vertic

The economy of scale here will be huge - if the founders of Imagine K12 build vertical expertise in promoting education startups (i.e. connections with schools, VCs who invest in education) it will be a lot easier for startups to do custome

I think whether you agree with the specific technical points or not, this is a great article. I don't know if "best practices" exist, but consistent practices do, and they make it a lot easier understand other people's code. (and impose a m

Awesome article. How important do you think is experience in attaining these vs good instincts/personal qualities?
