It's a full stack framework. Node js backend, choice of db extensions (starts with redis I believe), and js front end. Runs on handlebars. For someone like me, who's used to the standard LAMP stack and hasn't played with Node, any of the js

I just started using Meteor and love it, but I'm not sure your post delivers on the title. My only real beef so far has been dealing with errors, many of which offer very general explanations and make it difficult to troubleshoot. That said

How fitting for a man that built a predatory company to be ousted by predatory executives.

Any chance this is a way to trim fat without actually laying people off? Easier to get rid of the slackers if they quit.

It was the same way getting into the Army. 'Telling the truth on security forms is absolutely essential to being granted a security clearance now or in the future.' Then I'm told to lie about past mistakes, medical history, and anything els

I worked for an ad agency in Florida and I can tell you that the meetings were an excuse for the account managers and owner to feel like they were being productive, all while the doers had to spend extra time before/after work in order to c

Great article, but horrible headline. The headline should be: 'How Techcrunch, tech media, and investors contribute to startup depression.'

Sounds like a case of 'I don't agree with him, therefore he must be crazy.'

Were you to say ambition instead, I would agree. Grandiosity is a term used by people that are afraid of the risks associated with achievement.

In many cases, Paypal is complying with the law, not the other way around. Paypal spends a lot of time/money on risk management. If they see a lot of money being funneled into the US, they are required to report and/or take action. It's as

Gosh Amy, I don't know what to say about this. I'm a fan, we've met before. In fact, I remember eating pizza together in Miami during Superconf I think...but I can't agree with you here. I guess I'm one that you could say has delusions of g

The VC's are just one manifestation of the stress problem. I'm bootstrapped and have followed the same work patterns as many startups, trying to get the company off the ground. Building a successful company often requires extremes. I'm also

This could be exactly what the OP was referring to. It's great that you've had success, but you turned this conversational thread into a self-promotion.

The fact that it (authors making less via GPL) hasn't happened doesn't make it a non-issue. It just means it hasn't happened yet. I agree it's impossible to prevent, but any rational individual will try their best to stop it until the work

I don't know if they do or not, but I don't think a developer should feel bad for doing what he can to ensure his work isn't stolen. If I wanted to, I could raid the WP theme and plugin repo and re-sell all of them. Since I'm a developer, I

Well I don't often do consulting work, but that's actually covered because the GPL does not apply to 'work for hire.' I don't attend WordCamps or contribute to core, so it doesn't affect me, but it does bother me that the platform I'm build

I had a brief discussion with Matt in the comments on the source ( http://www.designcrumbs.com/automatically-blackballed#commen... ) and tried to get him to explain why a split-license was bad. Here is a quote: 'While legally you can make a

Because it's a company founded by the Samwer brothers. A simple Google search of that name will tell you all you need to know.

My reasoning is simple (and has already been stated clearly) - The Samwer brothers are notorious for cloning as many hot valley startups as they can, often pixel for pixel. Might be legal, but it's certainly not an ethical way to do busine
