I love this spirit of sharing and collaboration spurred by git/github. One nice side effect of adopting these open source libs (and not re-invent the wheel in house) is that we'll all have transferrable skills between companies in this spac

I agree here. Doing that extra pet project at work is a zero sum game vs. doing your own pet project. I find that it's easier to "find purpose" with a side project at work (whether it's an util, or just fixing a bug) because it directly add

More often, I see an idea that I've had for a while, then some group with the same idea gets vetted by YC and other investors. In this case, I would feel a little conflicted about still going forward with it due to possible "follower" perce

Sidebar: you'd have to have access to a computer at 6 to start programming at 6. This was not a given even for a lot of Gen Y today. Not to mention the parental (or other source) mentoring and guidance that leads to a kid pursuing programmi

Oh yikes. This deserves an update... yesterday. How can it be discovered and discussed only a month later?

The Patent Bar is an extra hurdle to law grads, no? Not every underemployed law grad has a patent bar.

Wow, what a discovery (the video). I really enjoyed this video of San Francisco. While living in present day SF sometimes doesn't feel magical, this video makes me appreciate the city.

Gmail Multiple Inboxes is how I triage incoming mail. I have 4 panes layered vertically: Top: Inbox 2nd pane: personal action items (i.e. must do 'today') 3rd pane: reading queue, but nothing personally actionable 4th pane: ding ding ding.

I've always had an iOS device, but no room in my life for two of them: 2007-2008: iPhone 1st gen --> 2008-2010: iPhone 3G + Nexus One --> 2010: Nexus One + iPod touch (sold iPhone 3G) --> Late 2010 - May 2011: Nexus S + iPod tou

Me too! I look forward to 20-30 minute commutes (Bay Area) during which I can finish one half hour podcast. iTunes syncing, or Stitcher Radio app does wonders here.
