That looks like pretty good value. It's much lower risk to a small shop like mine. I could stick 3 developers on it for $150 a month to cover Android and iOS and not worry if we don't use it much for a month or two because other p

> Yet people insist on you naming a design pattern in interviews, like it's a secret handshake, or asking a carpenter if they know any kinds of wood. What does it prove? Nothing. Looking at someone's code is more useful than as

I think this pattern was popularised in the Design Patterns book (Gama et al). But my guess it's a natural progression from a standard Factory; Factories allow instantiation without specifying any type, and FactoryFactories afford the

Wow, I'm now 38 and recall falling in love with Rails at the age of 28. I was battling with .NET WebForms at the time, Rails was a breath of fresh air. Martin Fowler got me into Ruby about 6 months before Rails popped up. I still write

Please make it look less Borg. I bought one of these the other day based on the old design. To me the that old elastic bad boy looks far simpler. I guess Myo are designing for more important things than looks - weight reduction & thickn

Do I need still need to spend $17,091 a year to equip 3 developers with reasonably unrestricted Xamarin on 3 iOS, Android and Windows Phone? Or $8,991 if I don't care for hot fixes.

We selected MQTT because our mobile apps are sending frequent data packets over cell-phone data tariffs. Our thinking was that a light messaging protocol such as MQTT could mean the difference between an £100,000+ monthly data bill, or £10,

I run a small company so might be a different perspective than you're looking for. But in general my motivations are: 1. Working with people that challenge me, make me laugh, and who do great work. And who I can have a beer with :) Tha

Not yet. I also have some plans for monetizing further, but they need time or $$$. Feel free to ping me tobin%tobinharris^com

I doubt it, but it would probably be good for them if it meant more regular updates.

Thought it was a good pitch, a genuine problem, and a good long term vision. I think you need a new name. Potentially focusing on a different angle other than Drag and Drop. Such as curating. Organising. Sharing. Simplifying. Also, the phra

I think it's a bit like Wordpress. But instead of showing content on web pages like Wordpress does, Prismic exposes content via API's. So you create and manage your content hierarchy, and then developers access it from a mobile ap

I totally LOVE the idea, seems far easier and more 'reversible' than buying a dedicated desk. Big problem for me is it would look a bit naff with our glass desks and iMacs. Can you make a sexy version :) ? T

Nice, I'm guessing with that file you can then flash your iBeacon hardware. As a total noob, any pointers for how I learn how to make a working iBeacon that I could use in "production"?

Keep programming and researching. Then use your skills to make cool things. Then show them to potential employers. You'll do great. Try and get to uni anyway. But take the pressure of yourself. If you're making cool things and lea

Think of the first time you had to build a solution to a problem you didn't understand. It's scary with lots of unknowns. Seeing your company collapsing is scary, and you don't know how to deal with it. There are lots of unkn
