I'm seeing a trend in the comments here and would just like to add my experience. It is quite similar to the author in that I worked fulltime for a year plus 3 months contracting for the same company. I consider myself extremely fortun

I use Ubuntu. In a past life I was strictly a windows user. The thought has crossed my mind to switch to a mac because of GUI nav speed and peer pressure. It's not that trendy to haul around a 17" Dell XPS with a big power cable t

I have been using 4.0.0.rc1 for about a month now and have enjoyed the process. There have been a lot of great updates since the previous versions. I will caution all to be aware of the turbolinks included by default. I spent a while scratc

My process is a bit rudimentary. I just have a folder with notebook paper in it. When I need to create a new system or subsytem I will draw it on paper just as it would look in any of these diagraming tools. Once ready I'll use lucidch

I first use paper and pencil, but then I transcribe and keep it up to date electronically. http://lucidchart.com has been my favorite service as it is free for simpler projects and can be upgraded if you need more complexity. I&

I am looking forward to this as we are preparing to raise a seed round. I'll be driving from Palo Alto to SF so if you're interested in carpooling, email me (in profile) next week.

Thanks for the comment, I have been meaning to start a blog and maybe that could be the spark that I need. It was an interesting experience even though we moved on about 1.5 years ago from that business.

I went through the entire http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ by Michael Hartl and decided to type every code sample in vim (and in certain cases predict how to create the code before looking). It was a lengthy process, but I definitely got mo

I have to admit that some themes posted in this article run through my head every now and then. My plan is to use the runway I've amassed over the past year to work on startup projects while cutting out freelance work. Will I find new clien

Everytime there is a service outage it makes me feel better about using them in the future. Every outage is actually making the project more reliable since some issuess will only manifest in production. I believe they have a great team that

I always struggle towards the end of the year thinking back to what my expenses were. I then try to go through my bank accounts and determine what was actually a write off. There are so many stipulations to what a write off is that I'm cons

I initially had the worry that I had no idea what I was doing with Node.js and MongoDB. Honestly I still don't know what I'm doing. I wanted to learn these technologies eventually so I figured why not fumble through the process of learning

We chose to do web first even though our app will mostly be used on mobile devices. One of the main reasons we chose to implement the web application first was to get a working MVP. I am much more experienced with web apps and have designed

I agree with these suggestions, and I'd like to add to #1. Get away from your usual place of work. If you can go to a place such as a library, empty office space, or school campus you'll be more focused. These places should be a bit unfamil
