The "start small, stay small" goes into detail on using this strategy. I would highly recommend it, works well.

VS 2010 is extremely fast for me, running on essentially the same hardware. Sounds like you've got something else going on there.

He mentions how broken the typical interview process is, something I hear repeated frequently. I'm curious what you guys think the "ideal" interview process would look like?

If the product was released differently, it very likely could have been successful. It seems to me that once they got all that VC funding, they were desperate to release something to prove their worth. But, since their product depends on to

this is a pretty awesome idea. Maybe I'm just inefficient, but I always find myself spending a stunning amount of time tweaking CSS, refreshing the page, ad nauseum. The only downside I see is that in order to modify your site CSS, it seems

Article needs more hyperbole. This is nothing new - companies are constantly going back and forth over patent infringements.

Whenever I'm hiring developers (junior through senior) I ask to see any portfolios they might have - github, websites they've built, a zip file of stuff they've written. I don't care what format it comes in. That said, expecting companies t

Azure is terrible no doubt. However, we build on top of ASP.NET MVC and haven't had any complaints.

Yep - we recently built a mobile app that utilizes local storage for offline support, with sync functionality for when users are connected again. HTML5 really opens the door for some awesome stuff.

I thought that Apple had requirements that any applications be written in native code, doesn't this break that if it's written in html5? Looking at the github, the entire source is html/js...

I spun up my own SQL Express / Server 2008 instance using the Amazon provided AMI and had my site deployed in about 10 minutes. What exactly is this service doing to make that easier?

No kidding. Restricting candidates who worked with X technology doesn't make any sense. You can't say you're trying to hire the best engineers, while at the same time arbitrarily limiting your pool of applications based on pointless criteri

Not bad, but I don't think I'd want to use something like this very frequently, as it's fairly intrusive. We typically use Pines Notifications for most of our work. Very flexible. http://pines.sourceforge.net/pnotify/

How is this different from HTC sync? Right now I have my Facebook contacts linked to contacts in my phone, and it pulls in information from their Facebook accounts?

I don't think politicians are nearly as ignorant of the situation as you claim. They know full well what they're doing, however their main objective is to get reelected, so they're going to do things like extend unemployment benefits, becau

News corp apparently made 900 million off of their advertising deal with Google, so they probably aren't horribly depressed.

It's only a matter of time until the government starts reigning in the internet even more than they already have - and we have idiots like LulzSec to largely thank for it.

The difficulty is that bad developers aren't just inefficient, they can do extensive damage to your project quickly, while also costing you a great deal of money. Paying a developer 4k to write code you have a scrap, while tying up your goo

I disagree. My company is a 100% remote workforce, and identifying standouts isn't terribly difficult. I would argue that the fact that everyone is working remotely makes the entire process much more objective, as you don't fall into the st

I do Crossfit every day. It's quick (a "long" workout might be 20 minutes) and it works. You're always working out with others, who are there to push you and support you. It's incredibly gratifying to accomplish something you've been workin

My understanding is that they use a subset of AWS features - don't they avoid EBS and mostly just use S3?

I think the issue is with Webforms specifically. Webforms abstracts away so much of the way the web works that developers who have spent their careers developing on it never actually understand how the web really works. Concepts like Viewst

I agree. Our company builds products for many startups on top of ASP.NET MVC and it can be EXTREMELY difficult wading through the terrible webforms developers to find the developers with a strong core understanding of how the web works. For

Great guide, thanks. One issue I've run into trying to push from my windows 7 machine to my instance is a "Permission denied(publickey)" error, which I assume is due to a missing SSH key in git for my ec2 instance? Does anyone know how to t
