This doesn't answer the question. Getting people out of jail is already rewarded as part of your business model. But you would also benefit by more people being tried and found guilty. I wonder if there is an answer. What about somethi

Small suggestion: "complexity" is not generally seen as a positive feature of a product. You might try "flexibility" or something like that.

I played a very small role in this project, and did so with my eyes wide open to the issues you raise. I won't reiterate what sinak has already said well, but I see one additional benefit from this project: if public communication with

This is on the high end, but have you checked out the relatively new "destination clubs" like Inspirato or Exclusive Resorts? Family-friendly and extremely vetted, to the point of having on-site personnel in most locations. We

I am 57 and quite current. I have launched several startups and kept fresh constantly. My current client has me doing lots of leading edge stuff that some of their younger devs couldn't do. And yet I do feel the ageism. I understand it

I don't see anyone pointing out that the impetus for this blog post was a fixed-price contract that went bad. OP's solution was to raise his rates. This is an apples and oranges discussion. Charging higher rates is not the solut

You hit the nail on the head. For as brilliant as Google may be in many ways, visual/UX design is not one of them. Google Apps for Business is nearly impenetrable, and AdWords and Analytics are not far behind. Come to think of it, this

I suffered serious anxiety and panic for a couple of years. Called 911 several times, thinking it was a heart attack. My wife, who is a doctor, humored me through these episodes, though she knew what was going on. One day, as I came to her

Yes, but investors spread their risk, as an essential part of their strategy. Employees have no such opportunity.

I've met plenty of these devotees. I'm not sure that they practice what they preach, but I have felt the wrath of their judgment, to the point that I hate "admitting" that I don't believe in TDD. I, for one, am plea

"A new beginning." And a web site and video that look exactly like every iOS and Android device ever made. For HN readers, there's some geek cred here, but as a consumer product, they need some marketing help.

I do see generalization happening more and more, but I think it's a result of more and more smart, but untrained, people entering web development, rather than any natural or desirable trend toward generalization. I invoke Crozier's Rule of

I'm all for the little guy, and I know this must suck for CapSEO/Doz. But SEOmoz seems to me to have acted above board here. I think Doz erred, and suggest they rebrand and move on.
