(I am one of the site's creators) Thanks for the overwhelming response - making the front page of HackerNews unexpectedly. DeployButton was our entry to RailsRumble this year, and it's a solution we created because we wanted something lik

The ad-hoc thing is really nice for teams that seem to form spontanteously : Read as StartupWeekend, Hackathon, etc. But probably not for firmly established teams that have protocols and ways of working that are already formalized in pro

Blows. My. Mind. Amazing, amazing work. I wish we could see this level of design work for products that aren't for hipsters and celebrities though. From a look at Josephmark's webpage, it looks pretttty similar to We Are Hunted ( http://wea

Apprenticeships used to be the way that people became masters at anything. Master craftsmen, master artisans, master chefs, and master sushi makers ( http://www.magpictures.com/jirodreamsofsushi/ ). It wasn't until reading this story that

Nice work Kirill - As a designer, you've really done a great job creating a site that I think people would want to actually use on a regular basis.

Nice work on this! The illustrations are superb -- Sort of reminds me of the "Fake steve jobs", "Fake Grimlock" and that whole set of cool meme-generating twitter feeds. Seems a bit overdesigned/overengineered though right? Do you really

I completely agree - It seems like this is one of the only other design responses on this board. Every point you've made here is right. The harsh angles and general feeling of a "sharp razor" are just not right for Microsoft, or many othe

Yep yep :) Totally obligatory. I used the title as linkbait, admittedly. I'm not sure if I really get that the idea is really worth $33M in funding. I saw it more of a cool side project that I'd use. In fact, I don't particularly like A

Definitely pretty far from brogrammers :). Just want to build a support community to foster startups. Ideas, and startups are fragile. Might as well do anything that'll give us a fair shot. No reason to hate :)

Yes, We're interested in this area. We're creating Saasly.com that mines your inbox for invoices/bills from SaaS vendors and presents you with information about how much you're paying for different services. Here's the link to the original

Thanks -- Yeah, the service coud definitely be a lot more useful once we're capable of mail mining. When we get traction, we'll be able to sell more specific ads and capture some basic, anonymized data about usage.

Thanks! That's great feedback :-)
