Related to this, how would someone who has existing websites built with various other libraries start a migration to React? I have a lot of legacy YUI code in a Rails app (using Rails' asset pipeline) that I want to rewrite. Anyone h

I've had a booth at TC Disrupt a few years ago, 99% of the attendees are fellow startup founders/employees or VCs. If your user base is neither of these, don't bother. Save your money, spend it on marketing to your potential

There's a lot more reasons why they build ugly products. 1) Lack of design abilities 2) Lack of understanding of how 'average' users use computers 3) Using the system model and architecture to drive the UI model. 4) Engineers

Wow, I built a project that rendered JS built webpages for search engines via NodeJS and PhantomJS. Rendering webpages is extremely CPU intensive, I'm amazed at the amount of processing power Google must have to do this at Internet s

One thing those tables don't account for is paying for your own (and other full-time) employee salaries post-production. Someone has to keep working after the initial production (and future) run is complete. You don't just sell yo

A few weeks ago I was sitting 6 feet from the edge of a community pool while many parents and their children were swimming. Out of nowhere one of the lifeguards on the opposite end blows her whistle, jumps in and swims frantically across th

This looks awesome, but I have to apparently use Sunrise to use it. Anyone using Sunrise and have any information? The homepage has 0 info, nothing. I'm not keen on sharing my google account with it until I learn more.

I think he meant a blog post about your entire architecture and build/deployment would be great. And I agree :)

The RaceCapture app is written in Kivy, we support Android, OSX and Windows (hopefully soon iOS). Overall I'm impressed at how well 99% of things 'just work' across platforms. http://www.autosportlabs.net/Race

This has me excited for many reasons. Redis is amazingly powerful, robust and reliable piece of technology. Also I love reading antirez's blog posts about the decisions behind Redis so I can't wait to learn more about queueing sys

Yes! Computer History Museum is amazing! You can get a tour from old programmers who worked on systems from the 60's, really fun.

I agree. I read this post and was shocked at the amount of planning, process, man-hours, hardware issues and other problems that come with hardware. I've worked at places with ~500 EC2 machines in a dozen autoscaling groups across 3 AZ

After using Laravel 4 for an internal company tool I have a hard time recommending it (sadly, I was hopeful). I found the docs to be uneven in quality/scope, some key features (mostly around the ORM) missing and the 'feel' to

Slightly off-topic, but I hear about all these awesome new JS frameworks for tying events and server data to HTML, but what if your app renders nearly everything to Canvas? I don't need any HTML generation or templates, I just need a s

Anyone know how they achieved such huge sales the first day/week they released? From other app/game stories I've heard it often takes a while for people to notice new apps and gain traction.

Out of all the PHP frameworks I've used (CakePHP, Kohana, Laravel, Symfony) I have to say Yii is the one of the best. It's hard to describe why, I think mostly because it feels like it was built and designed by one person who had
