If this works it might reduce the slug size of a built node app by a lot of a little. Though, if there are problems, I wonder - can the flat dep resolution be disabled using some CLI flag? Or when installing deps, or in .npmrc, or during a

I had some sites using telize and happened to go there on a fluke one day to lookup my info while on vpn. It said they were shutting down the free geoip site in 2 days! Got lucky.

I'd like to give some high tech answer, but that's not the case. If you interface externally - consulting, dev evangelism, conferences, tech sales - then yep, paper biz cards are still used.

It's an odd thing. Over the past year my wife has gotten a ton of stuff for free or near free. She just posts a review, indicating she was paid to do it (important). One example site is amzreviewtrader.com. It's so awesome to get

Comcast is horrible and has a monopoly in Sacramento, California. Fastest speeds are typically 25 - 75mbps. 25mbps costs $59.99. Well, technically you can get AT&T "high speed" internet for $50+ per month, at a whopping 18mbps

I've had nothing but success working remotely on projects. It's all about having communicative remote people, having the onsite team use the same chat/screenshare/video systems. I can get so much done with absolute focus

I like it because it de-commoditizes programmers. It forces you to evaluate each person and the business role rather than 'the market price for a programmer with X skills' which has always driven me crazy when dealing with large c

WaveApps.com, I've been using for several years now without any issues. You can track expenses and send invoices, then people can pay you by credit card. That's mostly what it does - which is good (it gets out of the way).

I'm stoked they are merging. I think it's not a great idea to rename the project. Node has had trouble getting traction in some enterprise circles because it was "0.x.x" instead of "1.x.x" or seen as early tech

You're totally right though I should clarify what I meant by broken. There are so many hands in the cookie jar and so much bureaucracy with payouts that it takes millions of investment to get this business off the ground. And it wouldn
