Yeah it is kind of like authentication vs authorization when managing users. Just because a user is correctly logged in, does not mean that they should have access to something in the system. Just because a valid email is entered, does not

I was wondering who signed me up for my own list :) I like the "push the boundaries" thinking though! There is no reason why I couldn't add the JS library to the form at the bottom.

It looks like you can email in content (there is special address in the Settings) - so you could email Bob, Jon, and CC the Inc address and share a link. You can also get digest emails on new stuff/mentions. So it seems like you could

Would be interesting to see some kind of reputation system on GitHub. I could give +1 to users that file good bug reports or submit pull requests. Community could vote down negative reports/comments. Since GitHub is becoming a defacto

Something I thought about the other day after seeing it on a GitHub project (can't remember the link, sadly) was to put your avatar/picture in the README. Most projects have an author or contact section, but my thought was that pu

Is it really worth potentially breaking your site for innocent, non-adblock folks in order to serve ads to a user who has explicitly and deliberately taken steps to not be served ads? Take the reddit approach: put a humanizing message kindl

Agreed 100%. We have a similar group in Indianapolis ( http://indystartuplab.org ) that meets every Monday night for dinner, talking and hacking with like-minded developers or other tech-related folks. The accountability is great

Most people would agree that practice makes perfect, right? I think a big issue with software estimation is that it is hard to get practice. I'd done full project estimates for 4-6 projects in 3 years of working professionally. Compare

I dropped around 60lbs (5'10" SW: 285) in first half of 2012 and have roughly maintained since (crept back to 235 - down to 230 again, still aiming for 200!). I made two small habit changes that I feel made a drastic difference:
