We have been toying with ideas like Python support, but so far have not thought about it seriously. What kind of diagrams do you need? What situations are you in?

The application process is designed to make you do things that you need to do anyway, i.e. having an executive summary, networking, etc. We (Architexa) were finalists last year and did not find the application process complicated. As for th

MassChallenge does not require you moving to Boston - only for certain parts of the competition. They believe that if they can connect you to the right network (in Boston) you will want to stay.

Re: "programmable". What you are saying makes sense. But when I first see a site that says 'programmable cloud spreadsheet' - I don't get that. Infact, there is a part in me that is still trying to figure out in which problems you are bette

Very interesting tool. Two main thoughts: I felt that you could remove the word programmable from 'programmable cloud spreadsheet' - since most people will think that spreadsheets are programmable. I am a little worried that you have only g

This is hard to pull off - but I think part of the solution is in somehow not competing with the average employee that you can get on the street. For example, you can provide a skill that is not otherwise generally available on the market.

I don't know if I agree with the article. I am not a fan of the whole Jenkins - Hudson situations. But at the end of the day Kohsuke was paid to work on Hudson. Oracle clearly owns the Hudson trademark and the project. The fact that many in

Two quick options - either to try or just use to inspire you. You should look into BlueJ. It was developed specifically for the purpose of making learning object oriented techniques easier (with Java): http://www.bluej.org/ Another option

Personally, seeing Senator Kerry was great in seeing the awareness of the importance of Entrepreneurship within the current government. Ofcourse, I am a little skeptical, but with the launch of Startup America Partnership it seems that some

The thing that I like about this marketing, is that they are not really marketing to people to get them to pay money. They are using a host of tools (here Promoted Tweets and Meetup Everywhere) to build a following that will demand Al Jazee

I like the idea in general, but the main points seem to be (1) do BLAH, and (2) make sure you do BLAH in small steps while measuring it. Point 2 should be obvious for any startup. I would like to hear more about point 1. For me to spend mon

They provided a service which I would not have minded paying for (with a few more features). So I am really surprised to hear this. Looking forward to hearing why the decision was made.

If equity issues have been resolved, just give him the 'founder' status and hope he takes it - I mean really takes the site as his baby as opposed to just the title. You want as many people as possible rooting for your success and if a titl

The background details are boring. But if you want to look into more about it - lookup 'treaty visa'. A Canadian running a company under this visa, should be able to get you in if he feels like you are an asset. E-mail me if you want to tal

One option, if you are good at what you do, is if you can get a 'treaty' company to say they want you. I need to confirm with our lawyer, but if we said that you would be helpful in building our company, all you would need to do is pass an

James, I agree with you point, but I don't feel the answer is in just saying that "you're doing it wrong". I think we need to figure out the main cases of such failing TDD instances, document it, and raise awareness so that we can be vigila

As a startup we evaluated using Scala for parts of our development but found the development tooling support to be very limited. Eclipse is a great IDE that has been an awesome productivity booster, but the Scala Eclipse plugin kept throwin

Yes, a great startup idea. What do you think of our product, i.e the video on our blog (the Architexa blog)?

There is some academic work on the topic. Watch our blog - I am going to tease out some of the highlights.

Yeah, developers on Open Source projects often don't spend as much time on Design or UI Polish.

To elaborate what Seth said: We did try showing nodes automatically, but it often ended up with too much and users where forced to spend most of their time removing. We will investigate further different version of adding nodes automaticall

mullr, Thanks for the comment. We definitely want to investigate such ideas. So far we have been mostly focusing on the 'big picture' ideas, but will be working on improving such details as we get time.

Yeah, Python support will be great. I will count you under the 'votes for Python' category. If you know others, feel free to send them our way.
