   True. But I'm also sick of your giant, giant body font. Fluid layouts are especially bad at this, to the point that I need to resize my browser window every time I load a page, to make the font smaller. The body font on - for example - this

   I really love this. Just spent 20 minutes on it.

   Yup. Anyone with these skills will find it pretty to skip the internship and find a full time position.

   I find that the Quora email digest is the only newsletter I'm looking forward to reading EVERY time it's in my inbox. I can't come up with anything that is as insightful, interesting, and fun on the internet. It takes the enlightenment of a

   I guess the question is: Why draw a line?

   I would also love to know this. Where did the money go? In an era where infrastructure cost is cheap, the big expense should be labor. But seriously, $41m?

   I wonder what the workflow is in the Apple teams that allows them to catch stuff like this. Is this the work of a single, smart programmer, or a good QA team?

   I wonder if they are going to flip the "facebook photos is now instagram" switch some time soon?

    Yes, he's great. His choice of publishing model is also interesting (free online and pay for print). Reminds me of the Radiohead - In rainbows album, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

    I'm not sure I would call this "Flat Design" a new design style. You see minimalism and a perfect balance between content and form in most mature design fields, and I think this is more of a sign that web design is not being dictated by tre

    The design and font use is a direct clone of many pamphlets Paul Rand made for IBM.

    Someone has looked at their Paul Rand history when designing this booklet.

    You should definitely check out Daniel Shiffmans "Nature of Code" book that is coming out soon. It's full of stuff like this.

    This is a great idea. I would probably add some examples to the home page. That is really what should attract new customers: Great designs.

    It's funny how most of this advice is about "controlling" employees and making them perform. I wonder what happened if Github was interviewed for the same article.

    Code, design, backend design, it all matters. If your code is shitty, your product is shitty. If your internal tools are badly designed, you can feel it on the frontend. I'm amazed by how smart decisions Github make. They dare to focus on t

    He, I was about to say the same. I could probably compress the worlds entire JS libraries into a single line.

    One thing to think about is that many users have auto-dimming screens, which means that your dark-grey color will appear black anyway. What tends to happen with these low contrast, analogous color schemes is that they result in a mid-gray s

    I really like the general idea of this app. The killer feature would be an easy way to contribute new features for the tiles, which would basically make Grid into an easy-to-use Microsoft Metro UI.

    I agree. There are so many of these "awesome redesigns" around that totally miss the point. First of all, design is not chrome. It never has been and never will be. Design is the combination of form and content, but all of these redesigns a

    As Github is a Rails 2 app, I'm pretty sure it's a Rails (and therefore also Github) vulnerability.
