   I agree that there are a limited number of people that are excited about the types of thinking and problem solving that comprise typical coding. But not all of those people are already coders. 9 weeks of intensive training can get someone w

   Got it. I was approaching it from messages sent, not messages received. I wonder if they are also counting messages received per device, rather than user. E.g. If I have a phone, a tablet, and a desktop, does every message I receive count t

   I'm surprised by these numbers. 60m monthly actives generating 12bn messages per day. So on average each active user sends 200 messages every day. That seems astoundingly high. Can someone more familiar with engagement metrics for this

   I think it does, although you're always free to hack it :P I've definitely thrown some ternary operators in my render methods for simple conditionals in order to avoid heavier solutions. Re: time; The team is me and my cofounder.

   Thanks! Also, appreciate the bug report. Re React v Angular: Before Angular I was coming from knockoutjs, and most of Angular made sense to me pretty immediately out of the box. It felt very quick to get going. The community/tooling ar

    I had the benefit of working with Geoff Ralston. He likes to tell founders this: "Startups don't fail because they run out of money, startups fail because their founders give up." It sounds trite, but the insight is generally

    Is it just me that worries about a race to the bottom with brain hacking? Assume some combination of nootropics/transcranial stimulation/etc gives you a short-term edge for unknown (or known) long term risk. If you're a profi

    FWIW, if you live in San Francisco it is common for your ride to be $10-12. With the recent Uber Pool promos it was $5 (or now $7). So at least in one market, there are many cheap rides being taken. That said, in-app advertising is not the

    I've read this, and appreciate that it is a useful thing. However, (as the title suggests), it's about the user level interaction design of components, not code level patterns that promote reuse and maintainability. Like the OP, I

    Additional tips from someone who failed: 1) Buy a used cast-iron off ebay. The old cast irons were machined smoother. Anything you buy new from lodge today is going to have a texture like low grit sand paper. Any old Wagner or Griswold is g
