Yep, look at Node.js when Ryan Dahl passed off the reins to Isaac Schlueter. The project is obviously strong as ever, and I think it probably helps that they're both at Joyent. So maybe the succession planning lesson learned here is to name

Just out of curiosity, how does your battery app make $50 a month? EDIT: Just finished reading the whole thing and I have some additional questions: You don't talk much about customer development, at least not directly. Does this mean that

You make some decent points, but a guy like Doug can work wherever he wants so while Yahoo! might release more open source packages than 99% of the shops out there, you can't just throw out the other, better companies in the top 1% like Goo

I can't imagine a bigger cultural disappointment than Yahoo! quite frankly. Crock was probably the best thing about that entire organization. I've been quietly thinking he should leave for awhile now, but haven't said anything on the intern

I'm going to ask a dumb question as someone who is just learning node. What's wrong with serving assets out of public/ in an Express app? Why would someone not want to do this?

I'd upvote this more than once if I could. The beauty and efficiency of a web framework must be measured as a trade off between the amount of instructions executed to check for corner cases etc. Anyone could write a framework that executes

He should at least be able to derive an efficient algorithm to not being a lying sack of shit. He should probably resign it's not about the usefulness of the CS degree itself, I don't think anyone would argue that point. It's about an organ

Honestly, I read this article and I can say I'm just proud to be a human being when I hear of things like this. Go progress!

I've always been a huge fan of the entire MailChimp library, both in terms of concept and execution. It's a win-win for everyone, MailChimp gets to promote their brand and platform and give potential users something unique, while we get fre

I was so close to not opening this because the source is a website with the name 'PHP' in it... but I'm glad I did, nice article.

It's kind of funny. I along with many of you I'm sure read the article in The Atlantic last night about Facebook and it being time to "move on". Coursera is a great example of someone promisingly attacking a newish problem. Basically, it is

Haha my team and I tested the peak in San Antonio on the StartupBus following 3 long days of coding and a long day at Rackspace. Result of Initial Trial: Night ends down one developer (sleeping at the hotel at this point) while the remainin

I think most of the negative comments are based on people having absolutely no idea about the reality of SXSW. I'm not in a position to spend $950 on a ticket either, so what did I do? Instead of staying home wishing I was there and masquer
