Money can be inconsistent I agree w/the advice given, but learning to save and limit expenses is just half the battle. Learning to get better at generating revenue is the other. All too often I hear the former advised without menti

I only work on projects I have a deep interest or passion for. Nothing kills motivation more than non-interesting work. A close second is ensuring you're on a great team. I agree w/other comments that taking breaks helps, but I

No. I wouldn't hire anybody based solely on one signal. Great hiring requires evaluating more thoroughly than that. Have no less than one conversation with any candidate you're considering. Get a feel for their history, how the

I default to relying on SQL. I've found that helps ensure calculations have a single source of truth, which helps maintenance and reliable sharing throughout your app, or across multiple apps. SQL also offers powerful aggregate functi

Firing 12,000 people ... Point taken, but if you're referring to Loeb's firing plan that Mayer supported, the firing would have been towards roughly 2,400 - 3,600 workers, not 12,000. From the article: "... Loeb’s plan was

Yes, and that's why I'm now gun-shy to adopt any framework, JavaScript or otherwise. For example, in LAMP context, I hit the problem you mention w/the Zend Framework 1 -> Zend Framework 2 upgrade path, as well as with Koh

Fully agree. I love JavaScript, but I hate having to switch between BackBone, Angular, Dojo, etc. between projects. Learning each one, as well intentioned as they are, winds up being a productivity hit at some point, if not semi-regularly.

Having a product in the wild, I agree w/everything on the list. I also wanted to offer the following. Numbers correspond to the order in which the OP lists them: 1. Error Tracking. I'd also recommend catching JS errors that ar

If you want to lose weight, the type of calories don't matter as much as quantity. So in regard to the 2 230 calorie amounts you've cited, they'll both contribute to weight loss, or weight gain, equally, depending on what si

Having read his book, I can say that he's not selling red herrings. He does make a clear, recurring, point in his book: the fitness and diet industry focuses too much on things that don't matter that much. E.g. low carb diets, a

Research has shown metabolism doesn't have the affect on weight loss as many believe it to have. Case in point, weight loss can be achieved eating 1 big meal a day vs. 6 smaller meals a day (where the latter is often hyped b/c it

The benchmark is on web requests per second, so it really needs to cite each server's location or ping latency relative to the machine doing the benchmarks. It's unfair if one of the servers is on the opposite coast of the other

I'm currently test driving Digital Ocean, ServGrid, and Linode. Digitial Ocean makes provisioning new servers incredibly easy (as does Linode). The process is near instant. Scaling a server up and down is also near instant, especiall

Why do we waste so much of our lives as servants to people that we don't care about? I avoid that situation at all costs. My advice to anyone asking themselves this question is to simply stop working for, or around, people you don&#

Love the improved dev tools and WebGL decision, but I also hate how long it's taken MS to reach this point. Would also love for IE 11 to be available on Windows 7.

Why can't you do it? We're not asking for anything more, it's actually less than what you delivered before. Don't let a client, or anyone for that matter, corner you w/statements like that. Regardless of whether t

Build it, release it, analyse it and only then decide if it needs optimising. I often share a similar sentiment with teams I work with: Don't throw solutions at undefined problems. That commonly applies to performance and premature opt

I disagree. Going back and forth to reach a higher price, only to have the client say No , is a waste of time. Even if they do agree to a higher price, money can only reconcile so much. Based on bad experiences I've had with a couple clie

I was one of those that requested a way to profile repaints. Thank you for adding the aggregate repaint view. The video showing the margin-left vs. transform repaints is exactly the kind of thing developers can take advantage of. Question

Same here. In particular, page rendering and repaints appear noticeably faster in Chrome than in Firefox of Opera. However, I notice the difference more on Linux than I do on my Windows machine.

Something similar, if not identical, to Chrome's Speed Tracer. I spend most my time in JavaScript heavy apps, and being able to see a visual break down of where my performance goes, and the particulars behind it (e.g. especially involunt

I like the Template element, but what I'd really like is a way to escape out of JavaScript and html directly to my JavaScript views. That'd be more convenient than splitting client side view development across the JavaScript logic and html

Having built a product, I'll also add that early on it's not just about finding someone you can work well with, they also need to believe in the product and bring some level of passion for it to the table. I can work well with any number of

You cited early advertising as a good idea, and that continued advertising was a bad idea. Can you talk a little bit about your paid advertising strategy? Where did you advertise? Are you willing to share your daily advertising burn? Any i
