I've started treating the README's to my open source projects almost like landing pages for products. So I now do a couple things I might do for a product page: lead with pain and testimonials. I'll open with something that describes the pa

I found this pic interesting: http://blog.bufferapp.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-... What I've found recently is I feel like I think better when I scrunch into a position like this. I don't know why, and it's not like my own scie

I remember working for Accenture and never having a good place to think. I was in a R&D group for the company and I was tasked with leading a small team to prototype some innovative ways to collaborate. We were coming up very short. I w

During 1999-2005 I was a news junkie. I was constantly scanning popular news sites. In 2005 I attended the first Startup School, which is incidental but sticks in my brain of course. I took my lunch break that day and went to the Harvard Bo

Fair episode, though by the evidence of my submission, I anticipated the show would be more about that stuff.

Right, I guess that character is on the show again. Just thought, topically, some people here might be interested.

Yeah, it was insanely tough. Countless all nighters, and impossible problems. What I'm really thankful for is how much pursuing the degree taught me about grit and perseverance to study and overcome problems.

I used to be a Chemical Engineer. Though I loved the field and science, my job in College as at a uranium processing plant really encouraged me to find work in something else. There were countless really dangerous things, like the hydrofluo

I think one of the key things Justin is doing while he's making this list is that just keeps asking, "How can I do this?" Turning all these tasks into questions of how, is a powerful short-circuit in your brain to get you to stop saying, "I

With calling yourself a loser, I bet you're full of self doubt. I've been paying the bills with my startups for over 7 years, and I still drown in self doubt. A technique I've used to short circuit that thinking is simply this: Ask yourself

I know how hard this can be. I've been doing startup stuff for 7 years. And it's still awfully painful. I'd encourage teaching to find an audience. I've been blogging and blogging and blogging. I ended up giving that up at one point. I thou
