I was referring to Christian Marsh, who has "syd" in his twitter moniker.

This is what makes it masterful. It is a campaign in any sense of the word because he worked his ass off on this site. However, it doesn't detract the truth of what he said. In fact, even as I deconstruct it, I still find myself siding with

You should have seen Steve Blank relate his tale with a smile when his Stanford Lean Startup students spammed the faculty in order to achieve some traction. Twitter spamming isn't a business model, but there is one stage of a startup's life

HackerNews readers, watch and learn. I'm about deconstruct what is going on. Anybody who brushes off FreshDesk because of its Indian roots is doing FreshDesk a favour. This is a sharp mind at work and it is lethal. FreshDesk is executing th

That is only because a lot of the developers don't have a sense of appreciation of how far the state-of-the-art has progressed. The previous developers who put together the code aren't totally clueless people. Unless we wish for our own wor

HN community tend to have a knee jerk response against enterprise software. They forget that Steve Blank of "4 Steps to Epiphany" made his fortune in enterprise software.

haha. I don't see why all the angst here. The place I work at also has a big VB legacy code base that has to be moved to the cloud. Furthermore, a lot of these large companies start off with a MVP hastily knocked up from 4GL tools and spend

Share an example. I work in an enterprise sw co and I want to learn from their success.

Perhaps it is domain registrars that need to implement two-step verification before transfers. It would be such a labour-saving move, and potentially safe so much time resolving disputes. Just offer people to "lock" their domains to be unlo

Thanks for such a detailed reply. I had briefly met #1, #2, parts of #3, done #4. I think I've been spoilt by python. Maybe I just need to try to do some real work on Clojure and pair with someone who knows.

by teyc 15y ago
I've always wanted to learn Clojure but found the curve a little too steep. The way you turn something as stuffy as Swing into JQuery-style code and stylesheets, that is so amazing. If only there were more time to learn stuff like this. Are

I didn't think GWB himself was a neocon, although he was surrounded by a few.

I'm only trying to figure how Chalabi managed to fool the entire US intelligence machinery into invading Iraq, and the only logical conclusion is he couldn't. Facts were being created by the hawks and these people decides on who gets access

You must charge. Otherwise, there is a risk important data will be lost if you go out of business.

If anyone has seen the comedy series "Yes, Prime Minister", they'll often understand how a leader can be manipulated by his mandarins through selective disclosure of uncorroborated information, present consequences couched in politically un

Guy Steele said it better though. He wants not the fastest language, but the fastest way to get to the solution. It may mean that the language isn't as fast to run, but faster to program.

Your comments reminds me that C++ is so big that organisations tend to mandate use of a fixed subset of the language. I'm waiting for someone to write "Scala, the good parts"

Cohen is doing customer development by being on site. If BB is so atrocious, they probably haven't been doing enough.

Here's an example: In the days of assembler, you need a convention of who is responsible for cleaning up the stack, caller or callee. People writing assembly which calls out to functions would essentially have to write the same boilerplate

I'm doing SL work at the moment. I didn't think Silverlight would be capable of desktop capture, unless you run out of browser(?). What's on your server stack? ClickOnce is nice. I use join.me and its clickonce onboarding experience is impe

Nicely done. I was looking at screencasting software and I saw a competitor of yours doing this too - recording problems for user support. Theirs used java, so there's nothing to download. I thought I saw some code floating around for Flas

The problem is that you exist to help him succeed. The second problem is he might not be able to convince people at distance, e.g. B2C scenario. Third problem is he is not going to be useful for enterprise sales either, since these depend

My son plays it. But the way it was conveyed to me, it sounds like "The Secret". The whole point is to learn to wish for pieces. If you wished loudly enough, for example "I could checkmate if I had a pawn in my next move", then it could mag

pg was specifically addressing the issue of management that is out of touch, while Coase was explaining the role of the firm. There is no reason why these reasons couldn't co-exist. The main driver behind running a startup and working in a

US does have a net surplus in terms of basic necessities. If their welfare system can distribute it efficiently, then it would make having work less relevant, especially during times when there simply isn't enough work to go around.
