You're arguing a point that's a given; a professional that's highly skilled. I believe the intent of the question posted on Reddit was what it took to get there.

God forbid anyone dial 9-11 and it not connect thanks to AT&T or bad antenna design.

I'm in total agreement, we've been publishing to the store since 2008 when it first opened. However, ironically enough a big app we've been working on was rejected last week due to this violation: "4.3 Apps that use location-based APIs for

SVB's personal level of account service is fantastic, but the online site predates web 1.0 which is an ironic tragedy.

Cool to see Riot Games dev team as a top contributor. We built some multiplayer technology for their League of Legends game back in 06-07 when it was called something else and deep in pre-alpha development. Our company went bankrupt but it

i decompress by working on something less taxing on the creative juices. i don't read reddit or play facebook games... but i do give myself downtime in the evening to turn off and unplug from everything. i think that's the difference betwee

well, they are cheap enough that you can keep a spare in your car and carry your smartphone on you for all the other value they provide.

2012 is a little early but I think touch-displays and mobile OSs will be a technology leap in countries where a majority of people have not been accustom to traditional computing environments, mouse/keyboard interfaces, etc. Smartphones and

Yes, it's called affiliate banking. It's how a lot of prepaid debit card companies operate.

I love that this is on HN from AIGA. Advertising industry is more brutal than tech startups... you kill yourself working on client demands, not your own products. So if you're hiring a front-web developer and their past history includes a r

one of the issues I have with CSS frameworks is that they typically remove semantics from the layout.

i think you over-engineered your comment and it broke. your statement is a gross generalization about "designers", biased toward "engineers", and completely ignores two facts; 1) great products are a combination of both, and 2) most product

Yes. Another prepaid card company called NetSpend filed to IPO this year too. The original founders of NetSpend, Roy and Bertrand Sosa, are hispanic immigrants and pioneered the prepaid model before GreenDot after recognizing a gap in the i

I like how Twitter has versioned their API, and I wish Facebook would do something similar. With 500+ developers and deep knowledge of backend changes, they should be able to handle the minor discrepancies instead of off loading that burden

as a designer, I can't thank you enough for making a video player that is easy to skin and more importantly... responsive. scrubbing the timeline produced no noticeable lag whereas flash-based players seem to crap out on me all the time. ma

TR42 was once public but later overran by anime and insulting people. Invite system allows us to operate an incredibly close knit community (300-400 active users) which has been around since about 2000/1. Furthermore, an invitation is half

For the record, Ben is an incredibly inspiring designer at Facebook who brings a whole 'nother dimension to tech and design. http://designforfun.com/display.php?id=99

Here's a story: http://www.chrisbrogan.com/buy-a-car-off-the-internet/ I know Aaron from Motorphilia and he's been hustling away at it for a few years now. He makes a killing leveraging social media.

I disagree. I see a ton of status updates from mobile devices by non-tech friends, and hardly any of those friends use 4s or Gowalla.

Tip 6. Stop routing a ton of noise into your primary email accounts, use something like OtherInbox.com for trivial stuff such as Twitter and Facebook notifications.

I was about to make a post that stated this same irony. He should switch to another ad platform if he's vehemently against patents. Advertisers are selective about content all the time, why should content producers be any different? It make

You're comparing apples vs. oranges. I suspect a competent hacker can do a lot of things not related to coding. Per the original comment, a hacker created the most social network of the decade. I think a hacker can manage the demands of a t

If most (all) of your early employees are hackers, how does it not make sense to hire a hacker to manage HR?

Urban Airship is a great product, we use it and it really reduces a lot of headaches. There's really no reason to try and lay all the pipe yourself, particularly if you're just getting started. And furthermore, Urban Airship picks up where
