I don't understand how whiteboard algorithm challenges with a curveball or brain teasers are any indication of a developer's value add. Why would you not pair program with the candidate, and give them resources that are normally a

Disappointed only because it looks interesting. Also, I think many people have been burned by email address harvesting pages that have great ideas but never materialized.

Very disappointing to hit a landing pages with video that only collects email addresses.

And yet still the worst photo sharing experience of any social platform. 5mb upload limit, constant upload failures with cryptic error messages, and clicking an image only to see a smaller version aren't a great experience. I'm sk

Focusing on trust is sad and a little concerning, but find my friends or the google equivalent really does remove so much minutiae and unneeded communication with a partner. It sets better expectations when meeting or going somewhere, and l

Looks neat, but really wish there were examples of the output (screenshots).

Trying to create an accurate measurement of programming skill is far more difficult than looking for correlation on tests compared with some other subjective measure. This misguided attempt at instrumenting "skill" could prevent h

Not a good sign when the link to your company in the article doesn't work. Also not encouraging that there's no Apache rewrite rule from www to root for a production site.

Hacking as retribution for personal data mining? Not likely. Sounds like an opportunity to get details from a financial transaction application while it's still green.

Clicking on the upper left logo (I was trying to return home) opens a new browser tab--not cool at all. Other than that and a few other trivial issues, the site looks great. Can't wait to try it out.

Maybe not near the lake, but easily possible in Logan Square/Avondale, Pilsen, Bridgeport. Currently paying $1,000 for a large 2BR in a Victorian 2 flat. It's not next door to a train station, but my commute to the Loop is less th

I think you know what you wrote was done well. While I don't think so much should be viewed under the 'what would Jobs do' prism, I agreed with your points on product development, choice, and presentation. Brilliantly written

How to lose a connection with your web site visitors: put a heinous newsletter sign up pane that takes up half the viewport on mobile and isn't dismissable.

Looks nice. Is this useable without shortened URLs? That has kept me away from similar service offerings.

I can't trust UX advice from a company whose website screws with native browser scrolling. I'm using a computer, not an iPhone.

humor/irony or not, I'll never take a project seriously that has such ridiculous typography for the project home page.

Splash screen, loading screen, Adobe Flash, microscopic typefaces. Feel like I went through a time warp to 2001. Also does not work at all on Chrome for Mac.

this is great! any chance of displaying song length? I only use soundcloud for DJ mixes and skip past the one or two minute long tracks.

It's unfortunate they punished me as a user by having a mobile design that truncates several letters on the right side of viewport on iOS, making article unreadable.

This is fantastic! Just downloaded it and already love it. Solves bad design and poor readability on many of the sites I love.

It's too bad sites aren't also penalized for fixed-position social share widgets that make reading on mobile impossible, like wordsteam does.

Is there any documentation or knowledgebase for this? Looks interesting, but can't determine if it does something I want.

For so long I tried to convince others (even females) that sexism and casual sexism wasn't a thing in software development. I tried to project an image of guys who were introverted and shy around women, and that so called "brogram

When a person makes a claim of intimidation or harassment, that person should not be judged on traits that have nothing to do with the claim. Insulting a woman in the tech industry after making statements of suffering from harassment is a v

Not sure of the point you're making but he is analogous to a financial services advisor who is in awful financial straights but tells clients how to manage their money. If you can't live what you're paid to advise others on,
