With all due respect, they don't seem to be the most experienced engineers to solve the problem. Opening up to a larger community who is ready and willing to help would only be beneficial.

And it will be interesting to see if there is any change in the monthly revenue because of this post. As you're saying, the 37signals brand adds credibility to being seen on Sortfolio.

You should know that Dr. Blair is basically the world expert in healthy habits and physical activity. He is cited in medical journals over 2000 times every year. This is not explanationless science, but science backed by 20 years of rigorou

A bit pompous and egotistical. Just give the person your contact info and stop trying to be cutesy.

This isn't a fad. I work with Dr. Blair at USC and he has been researching physical activity effects on health for the past 20 years. He is one of the leading exercise science researchers with over 2000 citations per year.

The phrase "Manufacturing Consent" has nothing to do with universal grammar. It is about the factors that create a news environment that favors specific interests.

As much as I hate buzzwords, I'll play along for the analogy: You can't 'pivot' if you don't have any feet on the ground. If you have no real direction or dedication, moving to something new isn't 'pivoting', it's defining what you're doing

What about when those 10 people are working on 5 completely different ideas? 5 - 2 person teams to make 'world-changing' products? I don't think so

This approach is not refreshing. It amounts to: lets get a bunch of people to brainstorm great ideas! Then we can build them! Rings kind of hollow to me

I think people interact socially by expressing themselves. We are inherently social creatures and our self-image is shaped by the judgement of others. To improve our own self-image, we try to influence other people's perception of ourselves

There is a difference between building an app and a brand. This article doesn't make that distinction at all. Call your app "Delivery Service Touch" if you want to just make an app. But if you ever want to transform into something larger, p

I don't subscribe to dividing your life into clean boxes of 'work life' 'social life' 'family life'... I think you need all the different elements in your life, but it is often most effective to combine different needs together (such as soc

Thats really cool how all you you have found each other and are able to get together regularly. I'm in Columbia, SC (not exactly the hot-bed of tech) and we have a similar situation. But from a long-term sustainability stand-point, we want

It also isn't mutually exclusive. Just because you don't work from home doesn't mean you have a 1/2 hour commute each way. It also doesn't mean that you spend your commute by yourself. Carpooling, taking the bus, or metro all offer chances

Also think how much person-to-person social interaction would be wiped out. Not very pleasant from my point of view

The neighborhood social networking example is not as straight forward as it sounds. The barrier to use isn't just the user experience, but the metaphor behind the application. Most regular people have a hard time learning new metaphors to i

How can he expect any loyalty or dedication from his employees after doing this? If I was working for square, I'd be pissed that the leader of the company just cut a significant amount of time from what you're working on everyday.

While it doesn't apply universally, a good manta I've heard for business is "under promise, over perform". Fits well with the Russian outlook

If you're a small company outside of California, you don't have to compete with Google, Facebook, Twitter, Zygna.... for the best engineers. As a startup you can never match their salaries. Sometimes it's good to be a big fish in a small po

This video is a good chance for us to stop drinking our own Kool-Aid for a bit and seriously think about the why of what we are doing. What is the end benefit to society of what we are producing and why is that benefit needed? While Nader
