"They've made awesome deals with companies like HTC, even convincing HTC to pay them $15 for every Android phone they sell, etc." Suing hardware companies like HTC is not "convincing" them of anything. It's strong arming them using "softwar

I generally agree with you. As far as toxic, I was talking about the "exist to be acquired". Who knows, I may one day go that route with a company of mine. However, I would much rather have a product that adds value and could be bootstrappe

Thanks for this. I'm teaching myself to program and I've been trying to always focus on the long term. Always trying to focus on the thought that, as long as I keep at it, I'll get better, even if I feel useless right now. Thanks for the en

I wasn't complaining about the company taking the offer. Bravo to LightBox for whatever they got for their joining Facebook. I don't mind that they got acquired. I just wish is wasn't Facebook. The LightBox Photo app is a direct competitor

I feel much the same way as Gabriel does, in this post. The method of using email as a sort of alert queue is a terribly broken system. Yes, it's a system that I have to deal with every day. Yes, I get 100-200+ emails a day, between alerts

It sounds like you are saying that you can "cloud burst". If anyone tells you that you can "autoscale", they're full of shit. It's true that you can "spin up" more instances on AWS, but that still takes time, even with the best automation.

Thanks! I'm glad it provided at least some amusement for you. I too wish to avoid bloated IDE though, which is why I'm happy with my current editor. :) (Which has a "Vim" mode too :) )

I've heard good things about "The Rails 3 Way". I've not used it yet. I'm still in the "beginner" levels and I've found railstutorial.org to be invaluable. For Beginners: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book (potentia

Textmate is certainly cool. Then again, I've tweaked my Gedit to work like Textmate (and it's Free-as-in-Beer, and I can use it right now). However, neither do what Light Table does. I'm also certain that there will be plugins for practical

I agree. T-shirt, shorts, and sandals would seem to be what I would want to wear, especially if this startup is in the Bay Area. (IDK if it is, just a thought.) If you don't get the job because of wearing something like that, to an intervie

I marked the 10:00pm - 2:00am slot, though, I've found that what really matters is if people are interrupting and bugging me. I've also had good success going to sleep earlier and going into a completely empty office at 7am and working for

What is the actual physical award? Is it some kind of flag or quilt? Hard to make it out in the picture.

I think there's a simple reason... Have you seen how upset RMS gets when you call a distribution a "Linux Distribution" instead of a "GNU/Linux Distribution"? :P * Sent from my laptop, running a Linux Distribution

I do think it's relevant to use as it is the title of her talk, as someone else mentioned. I have more of an issue with people who take an issue with swearing. How does a word become a "curse word". It's an arbitrary assignment by society.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It seems the principles could be applied well. Though I think, the principles are definitely directed toward an introvert's preferred style of working.

I wonder, could similar principles be applied to writing code?
