Along these lines, it makes me wonder how long it will be until we see the rise of free agency in the tech sector.

Call me cynical, but having all of this disclosure up front leaves me trusting her objectivity a lot more than the seemingly obvious alternative where unknown back room deals leave you wondering.

I think his entire point is to call out that complicated web of social influences as the problem.

Why must the standard of discourse always be "I'm right and you're wrong?" It seems to me that more often than not in this technological day and age, the situation is much closer to "I'm right and you're also right, and between our two posi

He's a pundit, but he's really close with all of the influential developers in the community. He's more in tune with the Apple community than perhaps any one other person, and his track record of being right is unmatched in the last several

I've written internal chat room bots at multiple companies. Making a definitive open-source solution to this is long overdue.

Visual nitpicks: your title tag says "SmokeSignal" while the rest of your site uses "Smoke Signal"; and "all others click here" should probably be "all others sign up to be notified" or something. You can probably also safely reduce the num

I work at a startup in San Francisco and I'm "that developer who wears a tie every day". The traditional adage is that when you dress for success, people take you more seriously. I'd like to believe that this particular industry is beyond t

I got a 500 error after entering my ZIP code. So much for that.

There's a threshold, just because of the cost involved. In general, if a startup is big enough to be able to afford it, they'd gladly sponsor you. A previous company I worked at sponsored somebody after their second round of funding.

Indeed, accessibility labels are the only way to reference views. Granted, your tests are running within your process, so they sky is pretty much the limit. We're still considering the best way to implement gestures. There's some rudimentar

Are developers so dishonest that, when asked if they were contacted by a recruiter, they'll say no?

By the way, if anybody has any suggestions for improvements, I'm all ears. I mean, not in a literal sense, but you know.

Taking 10%? Making developers wait for you to cut a check? I guess it's better than Apple's terms, but still.

This is the airplane of 40 years in the future? Compare this to the past 40 years: in 1970, we had... the Boeing 737 and 747. They're still making them today. Sure, there have been evolutionary enhancements. But that doesn't inspire a lot o

Whoa there. Hold on just a minute and take a step back. You're 15 years old, you made $21k making apps on webOS. You have four or five languages under your belt. By anybody's metrics, you're doing really really well. Awesomely, in fact. Eve

Good article, though it kinda violates rule #1 of Cocoa memory management: don't try to summarize the rules, because you'll probably miss a subtlety. Link to the Apple docs instead.

When you open a tab, your name just shows up next to the "charge a card" button. You pay when you normally would. It's not really breaking the normal purchase loop so much as removing all of the crap from it.

I think Joel's article glosses over a point that most of the con arguments here don't notice: in order for this to work, you have to set up a group of coworkers who mesh spectacularly well. Fog Creek has pretty obviously done that; it's one
