OP here. With HN having a heavy developer base, it would be great to get your feedback on if you think MCP paints a different picture than MVP.

I agree. Are there any numbers available with this phone vs phone type analysis?

by stevoyoung 14y ago
Market share is like "users" in a startup, it means nothing. Revenue is everything. Sometimes, market share is directionally proportional to revenues, in the phone wars case, it isn't. Does any one really think Cook is loosing sleep at nig

Rather than trying to answer this here I'll point to a great definition of what UX design actually is. Hint, it's not "laying out a page" or "painting the picture". http://uxdesign.com/ux-defined If you can do all of the above and you a

I'm not sure how you've manage to make all of those conclusions base on my post. But anyhow, I'll address them since you took the time to reply. >"This is what overpaid people in dying industries always say and think." I would beg to di

Sure, they could still use 99designs. But if they are in my target market why would I refer them to a competitor? That doesn't make sense to me... I agree, some folks have a terrible amount of talent and don't know their value. I see it all

My original point is that if managers took recruiting more seriously and spent more time and money on finding the correct person they wouldn't need to ask for spec work. My point in this rabbit hole is that doing "free aka spec" work for a

by stevoyoung 14y ago
a point of clarification...you (aka employer) do not decide if a lawyer (aka employee) gives you "spec" work. He does. And he only does it if he thinks it will give him a sweet payout or he is guaranteed the $ (win the case). This works wel

Hand picking clients to do spec work that can result in tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars isn't a bad idea (aka lawyers). Someone who can take on spec work with the possibility of making two years salary vs someone taking on spec wor

Actually, and this in not meant in the dickish way it's going to come across, the designers / developers who do work for $75+ an hour do not lose sleep over 99designs. I would never participate in 99designs but I recommend it to people all

I agree, "challenge projects" is closer to what I am talking about. To be clear, I not debating that it isn't useful for the employer. If the employee gets to interact with the team (which I think is rare) it could be useful for the employe

First off, I agree, my spelling sucks. Oh well, let's move on. Oh and I'm a looser, I'm good with that too. +1 for you, Mr. Cool. Secondly, saying the ABA ask for "spec work" is like saying college ask for "spec work". You have to do it to

Stay classy HN. What the hell were you all doing during christmas and new years when he was doing this? Give the kid some credit - he has more drive than most people I know...and by the way, what does your resume look like?

I would volunteer to help curate the plugins. However, to be clear, I didn't necessarily mean manually curate them. You all can simply create a mechanism for the community to curate them (vote up/down, track number of downloads, reviews etc
