Something about the old tricks being the best tricks... Although it turns out the USPS does do some monitoring: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/04/us/monitoring-of-snail-mai...

There are so few things in life that are hard-and-fast rules. Agile is a bunch of guidelines that should be adapted, and the core Agile Principles say this themselves. It's like a religion. Some folks like guidelines, some folks like r

This is a good writeup. In general, this type of mindset is important, especially for company founders. It's not so much "PR" or "sales" or "marketing", but more about understanding what's important t

For any API of any size, I think this kind of documentation is essential. As a developer, I know I've written useful code that I would have skipped just because the company had interactive docs and I saw how easy some of the things wer

You should emphasize the "overblown term" part of that. Non-engineering-types who say HTML5 aren't literally talking about the W3C's HTML5 spec in isolation. What they mean is "frontend web technology". Non-e

From an effort/reward perspective, this is the correct answer. That or Super Duper. ;)

As one final thing: there are a lot of things you can do while here. My suggestion is one of many good ones. (Ignoring my previous advice somewhat) I'd start by figuring out what types of things you could do, and then decide which you'd lik

Since you're in Europe, check out http://www.seedcamp.com/ if you haven't already. Realistically, you're unlikely to get an investment on this trip (if you do, hi5s all around...just don't expect it). The thing you can do is start buildin

ToniVlaic, that's a very complicated question. There are extremely smart people who have spent a lot of time trying to answer that question, and they don't have simple answers. I start with that, because the first reply is "what do you me

Chrome on laptop and phone. Mobile Safari and desktop FF are the occasional fallbacks. I'm no longer a dev, otherwise my answers would be different.

Etiquette varies by region. I'm in San Francisco, and I do business development for a living, which means I talk to a lot of people. I'd say these rules are true for all of the US. It's totally normal to ask where people work. In fact, it's

One of the biggest problems with Deaton & Kahneman's "happiness doesn't increase after $75k" is that cost of living is very different from place-to-place. At least this article points it out. In the best version I can find (anyone have

I dig this. Breaking down support and community interaction into even smaller steps will get more users to take the first step of participating. I heard that early usage shows a big bump actually happening.

I heard DHH hates SOA, but the only reference I can find to this is an old interview from 2006. Anyone have a link to anything recent?

Straightforward advice, just copy and paste into the right place. And a good reminder that hooks can be used for lots of things. I like using "say" to read a joke or something after I cap deploy

@ktizo absolutely correct. He hints at that in the post, but that's another one of the criteria for when this strategy isn't appropriate. It's rare to have a strategy that is universal. Even "staying in business" is not always a correct str

You can say that, yes. But as a company with almost $8m in funding (prior to the $50m/acquisition thing; http://www.crunchbase.com/company/instagram ) and low costs, they can defer revenue for a while.

Of course, but look at the concept of "loss leaders" in retail. Or even in gaming, where the manufacturers lose money on the systems, but make it back on licensing and game purchases. Isn't it helpful to understand when a counterintuitive s

If Instagram had been charging for their app, it would have been very hard for them to get to the scale where they would be acquired by Facebook, especially for anything near the $1b. I'd say everyone who had a piece in that deal is flabber

The post is solid, but one of the things I like most in here are the signs of looking at where revenue came from (the comment about only 1% of revenue coming from the entry-level plan). I'd love to hear more from Richard about how they te

Despite being one of the people quoted in here, I especially like Larry Hitchon's advice to use paper lists. 200+ years ago, the USA was formed with paper and pen. A country was created via paper! (OK, and a few bullets...) Don't forget the
