Pretty impressive. But the +'s in the search annoy me a little bit.

I really don't like that headline.. the subject of the article is not crowdfunding, it's equity based crowdfunding. There's a significant difference.

I can't really think of a good example of a tool that is needed to crowdfund a project in a specific industry.. but this is the best argument I've heard and I can imagine something like this actually actually adding some value.

I really don't understand differentiating a crowdfunding platform based on specific industry. This would imply that the platform can create a community of people who are willing to donate over and over again to several relatively similar ca

This is a good point. I get the marketing behind it, but those two headlines don't really line up and that's when you can run into trouble.

I agree. If I was given just the name I could make a pretty decent prediction what Zen Coding would do... But Emmet, not so much.

If you want to get work you need to have more than just a skill set, you need to learn how to sell yourself. If you're able to prove that you know what you're doing and that you can provide serious value, someone will hire you.

You shouldn't be asking startups this. Call small businesses and ask them. Regardless, I worked for a small business while I was getting my BS in Business Admin. One thing I realized from this experience was that a lot of what I learned in

Pretty good points. Some people don't seem to realize how important amazing content is.. It's not just about putting keywords in an article. It's about creating a resource (article, graphic, video, etc) that provides so much value that peop

Anyone else wasting a lot of time typing "File:///" into every input in every program...? Just because they were told not to.

"barely tested" seems to imply that they... barely... have written any tests at all. While I can understand that even full coverage doesn't guarantee anything, it sure can help. I'm not advocating full test converge, I'm just saying that if

"50,000 freshly written and barely tested lines of code"... it sounds like they're doing it wrong.

I am really sick of corporations getting away with treating people so poorly. Amex screwed me out of ~$250 and there's nothing I can really do about it besides share my story.

It was $59 and the price was increased by $11 to $70. I read it wrong at first too.

by scottbartell 14y ago
So you don't think a ~640% pricing increase rather large? I'm not saying the software isn't worth $70. But relative to it's previous price, I think it's a pretty significant increase. Edit: My mistake - I just can't read. It was an $11 incr

> The price for a Sublime Text license key has increased by $11 to $70, the first price rise in Sublime Text’s five year history That's a pretty big jump. Not saying it's not worth it.

One very important part that this strategy seems to ignore is one's passion towards the startup's vision. I think it's essential to work on something that you really believe in, and everything else is secondary.

The power of lobbying. The legislation that can bring candidates the most money always seems to take priority. This goes to show that the common man has far less power then is ideal.

I'd like to be a "Problem Person". People (myself included) tend to fall in love with their solution and once it gains some traction they continually make incremental improvements. It seems that significantly more time is spent on your solu

Yes, startup CEOs will have a better understanding of the problems that a startup faces. Breakthrough.
