In addition to practice (which many here have suggested - and they're good suggestions!), it would probably be helpful to get some feedback on your writing as well. I find in coding at least (the closest comparison I can make since I&

My 2-minute take is that SO is optimized for Q&A - Q: "I have this problem", A: "Here's my suggestion..", whereas CodeHive seems to be optimized for "Here's a neat little trick I discovered" w&#x2

I think you may be misunderstanding ApplePay -- it doesn't get in the way of your CC rewards - it's just a better UX for the classic CC experience. And, I think, Apple has specifically planned for cases where you damage or lose y

What a disastrously bad user experience. But I have to say, I feel sympathy for the guys who designed it. Just like the conventional wisdom tech entrepreneurs are taught -- "take a problem you encounter in your daily life, solve it, b

Have any good resources to suggest? (aside from oDesk, where I sense it's become a race to the bottom price-wise.)

I have zero connection to the deal so this is entirely speculation, but in short, no, "acquired" has not become a dirty word. When a company is purchased - it's usually described as such. (In fact, I think for a public comp

Can you elaborate on the middle bits? How do you go from 'git push aptible' to the actual execution of the docker commands on the production server? (Setting up something similar myself and would love some direction).

Looks very cool. Few questions off the top of my head: 1) I presume since you'll be an actual credit card, there's an issuing bank behind you somewhere. Are you an actual startup, or is this a "division" of some huge b

Fascinating article. One part in particular answered a question I've had about Houston for ages: I visited Houston with a friend about a decade ago and we were both puzzled about the Chinatown area of the city. Why, we asked, would a c

Awesome guide Todd -- thank you so much for taking the time to put this together (I know how scarce time can be, and I also know how much time goes into a 10k-word tutorial, so it's appreciated). I went through the whole thing last wee

> If relationships are easy to maintain when everything is going well, it’s a whole different story when the pressure is on. This isn't YC-specific, but I want to highlight this piece of advice because it's extremely important.

Congrats as well -- looks fantastic. A non-technical question: How did the idea for this come about? Are/were you in the wholesale business? Did you work for folks who were? Just curious how ideas become seeds become launches... G

I (respectfully) disagree -- I think modern society's obsession with pursuing _material wealth & riches_ is not healthy, but I think the pursuit of happiness is a worthy goal. The two, of course, are often confused, but happiness

I think the idea is if you buy something, they don't charge for delivery since their plan is to sell your data (i.e. if you order an Oral-B toothbrush, they won't charge but they may give you an ad/offer to buy a SoniCare f

Your loss then, no? If you dismiss them out of hand, you're losing out on the chance to visit them and eat there (and enjoy a good meal). Clearly a lot of people like them, and they're not suffering for business because of dismi

Just a commentary on the bigger picture: I strongly disagree with the notion that talking on the phone while driving is always bad (yes, I know, some people are particularly bad at it and shouldn't do it, but those people probably sho

I presume from what I've read/seen, ApplePay will be app-only (i.e. iOS) for launch. But I've got to imagine they (as in, Apple and Stripe) will integrate with web-based payment forms as step 2. Or, should I say, "I hop

There's no simple answer -- mostly because there are very few co-founder relationships where it's a direct 50/50 split of the work. One thing I've realized is that, like any relationship, startup relationships are based

I applaud these guys for attempting what is basically the Lyft/UberX model -- comply to the letter of the law, not the spirit of the law (i.e. Lyft's original "you're not paying your driver, you're making a donation

No - this is just referral fees (which are normal) and is missing the "ML" in MLM. That would look something like "$250 for new drivers, and $50 for each driver that your referrals refer". THAT would be MLM, literally.
