Was thinking of making a file system notification observer to auto-add changed files to a git index on an external drive or server. Like Time Machine on a micro scale. It would be handy in a game development context for artists, who often

Good point. Using a good language with great libraries is like prototyping at TechShop. http://techshop.ws/ There's a place for great languages with less-comprehensive libraries, no doubt. But if you want to make something that works to

I'm just saying there's not much going on in Downey. There really isn't. Downey makes Burbank look like Mountain View. I am not in a position to have anyone intern (I run my startup out of my house -- Downey doesn't let you have a busines

You'd think it's the W3C, but that's because they're about the only other organization that uses "W3."

Ouch. Excuse me. I'm just glad to have news stories about Downey that don't involve the house the Carpenters used to live in.

Downey in the hizzle! I'll hire him as an intern at my startup... if he keeps his grades up.

This is the first PG article I've felt a certain way about, which is that its scope exceeded my interest. I may yet read the rest of it soon. But fundamentally, I must point this out: > By 15 I was convinced the world was corrupt from

If you all don't mind long articles, I hope I can be forgiven for a long comment. This is an excerpt buried in Zed Shaw's interview with Geoffrey Grossenbach transcribed here: http://podcast.rubyonrails.org/programs/1/episodes/zed_shaw -

Along these lines, I think there's a trap that folks who follow YC like myself can fall into. Since YC sets up founders and angels in the best atmosphere possible, the founders can be completely product-focused. So you, Bootstrapper Bill,

I'd recommend this talk at Google to anyone interested in sparking some ideas in the game-productivity field: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8246463980976635143 It starts out slow, but it's from a guy who worked on Google's imag

Amazing how the media has gone from "zomg overpopulation bomb" to "zomg underpopulation catastrophe" so smoothly. Especially with Japan, for crying out loud, which nobody has criticized as having too much elbow room. Does everything need

There is a kind of obsession here, one concerned with fabricating narratives and strategies for their own sake. Bill Gates used every CES keynote in recent memory to go on about the "digital decade" and pose "in the year 2000" scenarios. O

True if you have access to capital. I think one message that I didn't get when at the 2005 Startup School is that you're not learning nearly enough if you try to bootstrap, because capitalization is important at every stage of the business

Someone call Sun and tell them to stop sponsoring Rubinius work sessions, then. They wouldn't want Ruby to run too fast.

Certainly that's right, in the archetypal beating-the-odds startup situation. If you're a YC company, stop reading. But isn't it different for acquisitions done to integrate with an existing platform or are T&T (talent and technology)

I made my local IHOP into an ad-hoc startup office space the other day. It may not have a plug for my laptop, but at least I didn't feel an exaggerated sense of importance about it.
