   Good luck! Have you decided what you want to work on yet? Look me up if you want someone to bounce ideas off of, maybe we can hack something together. I've got an invitation to Sparkmuse (about to enter beta) for you if you would like to di

   Sometimes I wonder why big corporations can even exist competitively as there is such downward pressure on productivity as they grow. Some companies handle this better than others, Amazon being one that comes to mind first, but everyone ul

   I keep a Roth at max contribution. It is my preferred retirement vehicle as you can withdrawal your contributions without penalty. I'm still young and naive enough to believe that I won't actually need to have a retirement plan because I'

   I've never seen this problem better solved in a web framework than in some combination of libraries. I'm sure it can be done and I welcome people who want to do it, all I'm saying is that I couldn't justify the ROI on it myself. On our pro

   They mention the product lifecycle being short as a primary reason for not wanting to bring on new employees. If it takes someone 12 months to get up to speed in an 18 month product lifecycle, it is too costly. I've got to wonder what kind

   Rewriting a web framework from the ground up is so often a trap made alluring by the illusion of repeated code. Could there be a more optimal way of writing UI code? Of course. But a lot of UI code should just be treated for what it is:

   Very very cool and I even have something to use it on!

   You know, sometimes I wish I could find a good non-technical cofounder. That is probably heresy on HN, but I don't want to do marketing, sales, or write lots of blog posts. I want to do development, design, and product. I haven't even go

    Design looks nice, if a little rushed, artistically but completely misses the point of the business.

    We need more things called canvas. At least this one looks more useful than the last one.

    This is a very sad day for objective journalism. My family is from Iran and I've spent plenty of time watching it over satellite. I liken them to CNN in the 90s before they too started getting politically charged. I'm angry that Al Jazeer

    Sure expended alot of effort to say YAGNI. Not sure I understand the condescending attitude towards Java developers in general either. I can write stupid code in any language.

    I'd loved to apply and to work there, but somehow I just don't feel "special" enough. I know their languages, I know their infrastructure (well, from GAE xp), I code at work and at home, I meet most of what they say they want in an applica

    1. There is alot of work being done in this space to my knowledge. I know pg has mentioned that there at least a couple YC startups working on this problem and there is already a contingent of sites out there. There are many different prob

    The working together part comes first, then the connecting. Purely doing matchmaking is too hard and inaccurate imo, it is easier to find things that people find mutually interesting and get them engaged together through it. My site is lar

    I'm working on a site that is, in part, attempting to help match entrepreneurs with one another based on mutually beneficial skills. We're still in alpha, so there is a long way to go yet. I think not having a real life connection makes t

    I'm salaried as well but I'm also expected to be at work 40 hours a week. We have a simple time tracker which I'm referring to as the "clock" but I've honestly never heard of a company that doesn't have at least some form of time tracking

    I very rarely click through Reader to view the underlying post and I never stay subscribed to blogs that don't push their entire post through RSS. I don't have a problem with ads and the smart ones will embed them anyway. I just find it m

    Zultan headbutt has to be my favorite picture of the decade. The last one about the Chilean miners moved me to tears, it was a very moving picture.

    Scala is fully supported in their latest release and I haven't run into any quirkiness. To me it feels much more natural than using Lift but that is mostly because there aren't 4 different ways to do the same thing.

    I've been using Play to develop Sparkmuse. It is far and away my favorite Java and Scala web framework and I heartily recommend checking it out for anyone working in those languages. The framework's design works very nicely with Google Ap

    Bradford, I'm continually impressed on the level of insight you provide on topics outside of what I think are your core competencies. As an analytical person myself, I can see how you took supporting information and made well reasoned insi

    Perhaps, but the languages you mention all have clones on the JVM: Groovy/JRuby, Jython, Clojure, etc. Changing languages doesn't mean throwing away your environment and previous creations anymore.

    Thanks Steve, that's good info. I've got a pretty good backing on Sinatra from other languages so that will ease the learning curve on Ruby.
