This reads like yet another autocratic, micro-managing HR document. "Have a room with a door that shuts." Seriously? How about this: hire smart people you trust, give them whatever tools and support they need to do their jobs most

Definitely. From a technical standpoint, it's Rails app on Heroku (using unicorn), using Sidekiq. I've got a ton of background with Rails and scaling on this platform, though not a lot with Sidekiq. I'm very excited about the possibilities

Cool! We're going to be putting in coupon codes in a day or two. I'd be happy to give you an extended discount if you'd like to give us feedback on the service. Shoot us an email (info -at- pushlayer.com) and I'll hook you up.

That's great advice, and perhaps that's really the answer. Based on what I've been directly observing, most of the "marketing" that I do is pretty mechanical: A/B testing, posting updates to our existing users and soliciting feedback, adwor

Cool, and that's been our overarching strategy. What I'm concerned about is that, as we work through the backlog of features, we also want to grow the users simultaneously. This will help us avoid a "bias of small numbers", in that our smal

This is great feedback. The $25/m gets you 2500 notifications prepaid, but it's a use-it-or-lose-it kind of thing. I'll definitely clarify that. Thanks!

It's an API you use to send push notifications to iOS devices that have your app installed. More specifically: it (a) makes debugging missing notifications easier, as it often feels like a notification just disappears into the ether, (b) it

I spent a lot of time trying to come up with a stable installation of EB for a Rails 3.2 app using RDS and just couldn't get it to a state where I'd ever deploy it as production. Here's where I decided to pull the plug: https://forums.aws.

Thanks for the feedback. Since we target iOS developers, do you think it would be too soon to start charging once they've released their app to the App Store (but leave the service completely free and unrestricted for as long as they are in

I created a Programming Music playlist and started out with very mellow, non-lyrical music from Tycho. From there, I kept following the Related Artists feature (I'm using rdio) and added a number of other artists including Ulrich Schnauss,

The service is our attempt at making sending push notifications to iOS devices easier. The biggest complaint I've always had as an iOS developer is debugging notifications that don't go through. We've built the site to show every notificati

So, what would a "small, sharp" monitoring tool look like that's compelling to customers? Just an agent, and the customer supplies their own notification and trend-reporting services?

Wondering what the HN community thought of a startup I'm working on. Tentatively I'm calling it DesignFiles.io, and it's a combination desktop and web app that lets designers check in/out projects they're working on. Designers can save comm

Exactly. I imagine this breaks down when you have a designer that prefers to work starting at 3pm, and a developer who's in at 7am. Do you allow the deadline to slip, or ask the designer to come in earlier (or the developer to stay later)
