OpenID as a solution, not so much. It's a roundabout solution to a bigger problem. A solid password distribution and management strategy is far more effective. 1Password for Mac handles that pretty well for me.

Also: Flask's documentation is so gorgeous it almost convinced me I needed to use the framework even though I knew didn't need to use it.

Thought I'd get to Flask before Steve, but clearly I was mistaken. Another vote for Flask. Gorgeous.

Right. I had considered this, but somehow shoved myself into wireframing mode, which turns out to suck just as much as staring at a blank PS canvas.

This is excellent. Before, the fragility of the Disqus design and API (both their site and the product itself) kept me from being interested. The new design shows that they're serious about the product, and they're willing to put their mone

Incredibly well thought-out response. I agree that writing something from scratch for a FE dev is significantly easier than working on someone else's code. Traditional programming either works or it doesn't (or not well). Front-end devs all

Great idea. I've generally had a poor experience hacking on existing jQuery plugins, but mostly because of the situations I find myself in while using them. Most of the time I'm under a time crunch for a client and simply need to get someth

Here's something a bit unorthodox. I worked for 7 years in the grocery industry, and still shop at the same store I worked at years ago. At Wegmans at least, in the Northeast US, always pick the longest line. The one with the most customers

Uneducated voters who vote just because people tell them to piss me off more than people who just plain don't vote. Politicians in our country are worse than salesmen. That's why we have such little voter turnout, not because people don't f

Kind of like our app, http://afeedapart.com . We actually gave some thought to opening our platform to other events like this, but decided against it.

Nick from Lion Burger, here. We would never want to insult our customers, either. In this particular instance (the audience of Snipt), IE6 users do not represent a significant number of our customers (less than a tenth of a percent, actual

This is Nick from Lion Burger, the folks behind Snipt. We're still toying with some better copy functionality - our current solution is a little flaky. Stay tuned, thanks!
