Ugh. Articles like this make me want to join the PHP sucks crowd, and I really hate the PHP sucks crowd.

I've been teaching computer programming to high school students for close to 15 years. In that time, I've seen the demand grow more and more as the stigmatism of computer programming being a "geeky" or "uncool" pursuit has slowly dissipate

$1000 per month for your servers seems really high. Where are you hosting this?

I thought about creating something like this a few months ago, but I thought that Stripe would almost certainly create something like this themselves in the near future. Either way, this looks good, and I'll keep it in mind for future proje

I've been teaching kids to code for over 10 years now. It's an exciting time to be a computer programming teacher. The amount of resources (mostly free) that make teaching young people computer programming easier and far more enjoyable hav

Thanks for the feedback Matt. I think you're right. I'm going to remove the CC info fields from my sign up form. By the way, bugmuncher looks cool. Congrats!

Seems like a cool idea. One comment on the landing page: I'd condense the height of your design a bit. On my screen (running Chrome) the sign up for beta entry form was below the fold and I really couldn't tell it was there until I scrolle

HTML5 Boilerplate is more of a best practices HTML/CSS template. Bootstrap is a css design framework for creating a nice user interface with little effort. They actually have some of the same stuff like css resets and normalization, but the

This will be my first kickstarter contribution. I'm a huge fan of Grim Fandango, and I can't wait to see what they come up with.

This may be one of the most self-absorbed, egotistical, and subtly offensive things I've seen posted on HN. Here's something to think about: Being connected with your fellow man has nothing to do with how much money you make or putting arb
