   facetiousness like sarcasm can be hard to see on the net. well perhaps I phrased the 'most stupid ideas are good ones' wrong. On the other hand it more likely depends on who is calling it stupid. The average person thinks computers are stup

   you shouldn't apply with stupid ideas. One startup article I read said paraphrased. that YOU must believe that your idea is a good one. If you don't believe it then how will you convince others. That being said most stupid ideas are good on

   I can't say, although I agree with some people who say 'don't learn perl'. I would say Learn it, and then don't use it unless you have to. I'm just starting a class on it. I only intend to use it to fix existing code, or read it to re-imple

   I don't know that saying negative things is whining. depending on what they are. I did just such a thing the other day, because the site truly sucked. It wasn't whining because I had no real interest in the site, it was just my opinion base

    There is also Mantis http://www.mantisbt.org/ Stay away from Trac, it must be confusing or something because there is almost always some problem on trac runs sites, you are better off running wikimedia/bugzilla. Trac bad example: Yesterda

    well... if you are sharing the code with the world does it matter? unless you are worried it will get corrupted. use git with your co-founders/employees if you are worried about it being stolen.

    I just stumbled upon one of pg's essays the other day. It lead me here. I had an idea that I plan on working on anyway, unfortunately I had no time to put a demo together. Only thing I have is a partially working db with no front end. Also,

    What if the guy who takes 5X to do the work has less bugs and more efficient code and secure code? just because you code faster doesn't mean your code is better, in fact it is probably worse, because you didn't take your time. I'm merely sa

    these people aren't merely assholes. They are terrorists (I do not throw this term around lightly). I generally abhor black hat's (grey hats and security researcher's breaking the law to prove a point aside) but this is beyond attacking a n

    I can understand this. I've just joined. I'm not sure that I'm benefiting in really reading this feed over digg or slashdot. I'll give it a few days before I determine that.
