   Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can't you just do a demo of your product during these interviews?

   Or just do both. You can have a main blog and a tumblr account, have a personal blog and do guest posts on other blogs, or even write both kind of posts on the same blog. A couple years ago, getting RSS subscribers was the holy grail of blo

   I know bashing PayPal is cliché by now, but its UI is seriously one of the worst I've seen for an internet service. Everything loads extremely slowly, and every action is buried inside multiple layers of navigation, which only compounds the

   I think the reason there aren't more themes is the sheer quantity of work involved in styling all the bootstrap elements.

   I'd be very curious to see what kind of custom theme you can get for a couple dollars...

   Here's the original thread on HN where I asked if anybody needed design advice: http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=3548461 It took me 131 days, but I finally came through!

    I don't see domains like .movies or .brand-name working at all. On the other hand, new two-letters domain could be useful. Like .ng ("runnin.ng"), .ay ("pl.ay"), etc. But I don't know if those are included in the new tlds?

    If you're interested in the topic of digital delivery services, I also wrote an article comparing a couple of them: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/03/29/selling-digital-g...

    The only problem I could see would be if Amazon sales were cannibalizing other avenues, leading to a lower overall profit. But I'm sure even if this is the case, Amazon's volume more than makes up for it. So yes, this rant is pretty pointle

    IconFinder is a great site, very happy for them! And it's got a lot of potential beyond merely being a search engine.

    You should check out WeekPlan, it's a good tool to manage that kind of workflow (and made by a HN'er): http://WeekPlan.net

    Congratulations! And good job on tracking your sales closely, it's interesting to see how many sales you got from your guest post on A Smart Bear. Another thing you did better than me is the mailing list, I don't even have one… But I'll fix

    The way Sortfolio works is that designers and agencies pay to be listed on the site. But if you build a good following on Dribbble, you'll start receiving new job offers every week. So why would you pay $99 a month for Sortfolio? This means

    No, brazzy is absolutely right, my whole point with this article was to question the easy and commonly accepted "blame the customer" explanation. That being said, maybe it's your own experience that cheap customers have an overgrown sense o

    Funny, I thought about illustrating the post with 30 Rock's Liz Lemon (as a famous "dummy") but thought people wouldn't get the reference. But after reading about this "Lemon Effect", I'm starting to think maybe her name is not a coincidenc

    That's not a very constructive comment. What's silly about it?

    You should definitely take it with a grain of salt! I'm not so much saying "this is the way it is", as "this is the way it could be".

    Good points. But what I meant by "cheap" is "customers who choose the lowest price point", not "customers who have less value". Although it seems uncommon, it's very possible that the lowest price point would also be the most profitable. So

    That may be true as well, but I feel like it's easy to resort to blaming the customer as "cheap" or "demanding". Again this is all speculation, but I think the fact someone is ready to pay for your product at all already means they value

    I don't have evidence, sorry. It's just something I've heard repeated often by many different people. Maybe Patio11 can chime in?
