   Good points. I've seen people tune their apps for these early adopters, talking about how they've got their "viral coefficients" at the correct rate (via product improvements, design, marketing efforts, etc). Then, by induction, they think

   I love when people write these kinds of things, and include all the details. Makes it so much more memorable. Good read.

   Is this a more well designed replacement for Yammer? Hard to tell what the use case is from the article.

   I'm going to start using "el_gordo" to represent int.max like Knuth does.

   I think that it's a very nicely formatted product. You've done some really interesting things with laying out the content. That said, I have a few issues: Mobile - I often consume this kind of "clippable" content on a mobile device. It's

    Are there any operational transform libs that are transport independant? Socket.io and socketstrwam can handle communication.

    We've used moinmoin, which is nice. Can't use vim. Maybe Dropbox for teams?

    Can you give an example? They may not be intending to be sarcastic or nasty. Sometimes, it just comes off that way, or perhaps you are misinterpreting.

    I think the real problem is that almost all applications default to cloud storage of data. They are not going to accept data that is unintelligible to them (certainly not for free). If developers would start to make their apps "cloud opti

    Operational transform is not the same as diff-match-patch. DiffMatchPatch gets confused pretty easily around similar content. It uses lexical similarity to determine the patch. It often fails, and the API actually tells you that it was un

    Using databases as a queue is not an anti-pattern (delayed_job is an example). A full blown message queue system is often overkill; it adds another system that you have to learn. (And frankly, queues are often backed by databases anyway) Th

    I like that it has a frictionless demo. Reminds me a bit of checkvist though?

    Not sure what this product offers over the (awesome) work done by ShareJS and ACE already. Looks like stypi is using both those products for it's core functionality http://sharejs.org/

    Cool, reminds me of this chronic https://github.com/mojombo/chronic I've been looking for a JS version. Perhaps this could be a starting point.

    It takes a long time to build real value in a software product. I wouldn't give up because someone else is working on what you are doing. Even if they have a similar product, you could target a different customer, or have a different busin

    This mentality will just encourage fire drills and burnout. It does nothing towards improving core problems of software development lifecycle planning issues. I would suggest reading a book like Peopleware, before embarking on public shame
