The only change I would make to the "stages" is to add caching up front. Most modern web frameworks make the use of caching pretty trivial therefor making it less of a pain than setting up load balancers and multiple web servers, etc. Stati

Gist, like GitHub, is quite useful. Unfortunately, I've gotten into the habit of just typing in a random paste site I happen to know anytime I need the service. He forgot LodgeIt! (paste.pocoo.org) -- it even has vim and emacs integration ;

As cool and useful as Pinax is, calling it "well documented" isn't entirely accurate considering the fact that there is barely any documentation to speak of.

Iteration can work for policy, too. Regardless, I think the take-away here is that people shouldn't write articles like this based off of vague intentions. What someone wants to do, what they think is a good idea now and what actually

It seems to me this is more about an effort to expand existing volunteer programs and add new ones while encouraging and rewarding people for community service than it is about slavery . Then again, I'M NOT FUCKING INSANE. Flagged.

"Obama and Biden will establish a new American Opportunity Tax Credit that is worth $4,000 a year in exchange for 100 hours of public service a year." Apparently, if you refuse, you don't get a tax break.

Yes. It was a joke. Apparently I struck some sort of chord here!

Speaking of Ramen, don't get the grocery-store stuff, that's for suckers. Get the good stuff off Amazon or VeryAsia.com. I'm pretty sure we lived exclusively off of Mi Goreng Pedas for about 2 weeks straight when we just didn't feel a tri

I think banning laptops in class is a good idea. When I had my laptop in class I basically screwed around and looked up at the board occasionally to see if the professor had written anything on it. Turns out that's a pretty worthless way to

I pretty much exclusively read technical books. Most recently, Hacking Vim and Programming Collective Intelligence . I own all the classic tomes; GoF, Refactoring , Code Complete and so on which I re-read occasionally. I haven't read

I take another approach: Never, ever look at my parents' computer. Last time I did I nearly puked on the monitor. I think they're still rockin' the Bonzai Buddy.

Hardly git exclusively; most any modern version control works well for this. Git's local branching/checkout makes it a slightly faster process though, I suppose.

They should start by not sending a packet of page markers the size of a credit card in a box large enough to ship a small child in. And i'm pretty sure paper doesn't really need to have fancy air-pillow wrapping filling the box. A shippin

I'm not yet convinced that the hard work ever pays off, it just begets more hard work ;) It's like, if you have 2 apples and eat 1, how many apples do you have? Normal life? One apple. Start-up life? 17 apples. Want to know what happens whe

Middle America: Even people who "support" you kind of pat you on the head "oh that's nice" because they don't really get it. Even my parents reacted like this. For a while my Dad thought it was little more than a pipe dream. I'm sure he s

This is my biggest argument, which is why I use Lighthouse since it integrates very easily with Github. I don't like my bugs to be meaningless text files; it's far more useful to have them tied to VC so I can see what work has gone into a b

There are some experiences you just can't digitize accurately. Building with Legos is one of them, dammit!

A valid point. However, I would take greed and risk over fear and surrender any day. Then again, I'm in the middle of a risky venture and I could care less. I have to try pretty hard to keep from making it any riskier. A one-way ticket to a

I think the moral of this story is, "Don't listen to Arrington." I consider this possibly the most important advice ever, right behind "Don't light yourself on fire."
