We're based out of Austin, we use python / django extensively. I would say that we're really efficient at this junction and just don't need to hire another person (yet), but we also can't afford it since we're just starting. Nevertheless, s

Pretty good list but I think the author contradicts the notion and importance of iteration. No design doc and no code base is free from changes and improvements, particularly in startups. If you can't deal with changes, you probably should

I don't have enterprise experience with Django but per your second remark, I couldn't agree more. The templating approach using extends/blocks is a breath of fresh air over PHP stuff I used in the past like Smarty. To put some numbers behin

I do think there has been a noticeable change but I don't think it's entirely bad. For example, a discussion around Haiti with a bunch of technologists on HN - as oppose to on Reddit - could manifest a new challenge and opportunity for anot

disrupt an industry that overcharges their customers because their hardware and infrastructure requirements are out-dated; they haven't innovated since the 1990's.

it's too bad we can't have a little roll reversal. most programmers wouldn't last a month in the advertising industry, it's far more brutal and under-paid than most development gigs unless you're founder/cto in an early-stage startup...

it works with dual monitors but you just have to be very delicate and move the mouse extremely slow which defeats the purpose.

one of the guys I work with had a good suggestion that's working well for me. Nudge the monitor down just a tad so there's a small 'wall' in the top (or bottom) corner to catch... http://grab.by/1kfI

I have no affiliation with this guy whatsoever but I just found this app and it's so amazing that I had to share it. It lets you 'cinch' windows side-by-side like in Windows 7, as well as easily maximize a window. I figured I couldn't be th

You act like the web was weaved on 30"s. :) ps. regarding the $100 DVI/display port adapter... you should check out MonoPrice. I get all my A/V gear from there and it's certainly comparable to overpriced AAPL and monster cables. http://www

I actually do force them out of the office around 6-7pm because the office is my apartment and I live with my girlfriend who gets home around that time. (that doesn't mean work has to stop if they want to continue when they get home)... I a

Good point. My comment was also in regard to other stories I've read there, I just opted not to go into too many details for the sake of staying on topic.

TechCrunch likes to stir the pot and create controversy, but I do get tired of them acting like they do no wrong. Maybe it's just me but I rarely see them mocking themselves. As mentioned in the comments by another entrepreneur: When I lau

I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I don't think I'll ever buy the joojoo product because of this interview. He appears to be dancing around nearly every question, and his body language is shady. I don't trust the compan

I just went through the ordering process and from a designers standpoint, this is a really solid execution. I'll probably order a case soon but I need to spend some time designing something worthwhile. Bookmarked! Great job fellas.

you have a really biased view of serial entrepreneurs, or maybe I do since they've been so generous toward us. they are world's apart from get-rich-quick guys. They build real value, quickly, and it's an extremely hard thing to do more than

I agree with you about building a value-focused business. However, in the context of this author's post in which they are "looking for co-founders to build, exit, and repeat"... the serial-enterprenuers I admire have done 3-4 $50M+ business

I think you should call this out somewhere because your about page certainly does not paint the whole story. My assumption above was simply the result of reading what is likely the most important page. A lifestyle business was my first conc

porchlight.ca - an ISP. I don't think a 13-year business with under $3M in revenue is a startup, sounds more like a lifestyle business. It's also not something VCs would be interested in. This falls under super-laid back, and not something

yeah, when TC announced $200 price for the crunchpad I thought it was a bit out of control considering AT&T covers about half the retail price of the iPhone. i'm expecting to pay about 1-1.5k for the Apple tablet and i think i'll be fin

The events surrounding this device are unfortunate. It's pretty cool to me that a small company was able to build something that consumers seem to want but none of the big players have provided (yet). However, I'm still on the sideline till
