With all of the emphasis on learning how to code I think this is really useful. The insight I really like is that simply learning to type in this weird way is a big part of being an efficient programmer. Maybe when codeacademy students get

I read this as a pretty clear indicator of what the funding environment is starting to look like.

Ways to control the flow of data rely on that data being there in the first place. I'm not sure what you mean by 'many technology pundits', so I don't know what you're referencing — but my impression of the recent debate has to do with the

As an architect by training I find it really exciting to see something like this. The business of architecture is an incredible mess. Although I see a lot of big challenges in getting this to work well it's a great way to make a positive in

You can make specific workspaces public and follow other people's workspaces, but everything is private by default. We like the idea that sharing happens around a specific set of content and we'd like to develop the collaboration potential

The demo pulls real data. Sorry for the offensive content! We felt it was better to give in to the unpredictability of the live feeds.

We'd like to build something that people find indispensable enough to pay for. How exactly that works: we're still thinking about it. Not sure exactly what you mean by 'stack up', but they're all fairly comparable. Some are easier than othe

With all the handwaving and yelling around this issue I find this really refreshing.

It certainly is time for an alternative, isn't it.

It seems to me that the kinds of applications they are trying to prevent from existing are precisely the ones that they could learn the most from and could provide them with the most new users. I also don't see how this action actually wins

The most confusing part about this is that they don't seem to acknowledge the disappointment that the public might have after reading this. Diaspora did such a good job of capturing people's imaginations, but did a terrible job of communica

People seem to like to write long articles about why design matters, but fail to show it. It's nice to read an article like this where the significance of the design work can be judged by something out in the wild. I'm neither here nor ther

I find this kind of writing a bit frustrating. Big ambitions are described concretely, while the product itself is not so clear. Perhaps I'm not a part of the target audience.

I had the same feeling the minute I completed my payment. I don't feel quite so negative but I feel very, very suspicious.

I agree, but also find it hilarious that this title is on the front page.

Yeah, agreed. Seems like one of the best things about this is that it positions a (potentially) big idea in a way which makes it easily understandable and fairly everyday.

I think there's a ton of unrealized potential in this kind of thinking. Although people will say 'But that was done by X a year ago!' I see that as evidence that this is gaining momentum. Now, what's the project that will fully take advanta

Exactly. When articles like this emerge detailing the trouble of understanding the mountain of data that accumulates from a piece of software it makes me wonder about what their goal was in the design process, or whether they think of it th

It's refreshing to see this at the top of HN. Rarely do I see such precise and apt criticism of the status quo making the rounds here. Thanks for writing this up.

There's so much work to be done in advancing the state of readability on the web. Widely available, properly drawn fonts do a lot to help. With only a quick look this looks like a really helpful contribution. I wonder if the name is a play

Although I'm convinced that this does seem like a possible outcome to the current situation the article reads as extremely speculative. Any further supporting links to his argument would be much appreciated. I can't help but think, "Really?
