I work with a lot of entrepreneurs, and the ones I try to avoid are those who think they're doing a favor to everyone they grace with their message. Like street preachers, their zeal makes them blind to the general public's disinterest in

I think that's a problem for the cardholder, the card company, and most of all for the merchant who later takes a payment using the stolen card (and usually gets stuck with bill). Square doesn't bear the cost, and after all, what can any pa

It's hard for a solo developer, especially one who's invested this much time, to take such a pragmatic view of ridicule. If Allan anticipates that early criticism is going to impact his motivation, then he's doing the wise thing by resisti

You're acknowledging that RSS performs the same general function as Digg v4, that you can't identify any concrete differences between the two, and that RSS readers ultimately didn't "gain momentum". How does that square with an argument th

The Ruby requirement makes plenty of sense to me. But the Textmate/Heroku/rspec criteria make for a pretty tight Venn diagram, especially since you should be looking for someone who doesn't think exactly like you do. And do you really car
