One difference to note is that HTTY puts you in a REPL-like environment instead of being a one-shot command like curl.

Hi Mike, please, no need to apologize for the delay. I really appreciate you taking the time to look at this. These are all great points, especially regarding the signup process and and permissions. I think you have validated some of the co

Mike, wow...thanks for the offer. I re-launched my site as a paid service about a month ago. It is an online text editor for Dropbox. (I guess you can disregard this if you are not a Dropbox user). I hope you don't mind temporarily shellin

Using Node has helped me think more in terms of streams because the APIs afford such thinking. PHP has streams but I never thought to use them, and I haven't really seen it done. Node Streams really help performance in my application where

Learning Backbone is a great way to get practice with MVC and the "Observer" pattern if you haven't done it before. Also it's a much better way of organizing your DOM structure than a bunch of loose jQuery calls.

I agree. I don't know about TCP behavior, but this seems really wrong in the sense that it ignores HTTP semantics of GET and POST. I imagine this could cause unintended effects in intermediaries like caching proxies.

I keep 2 plain text files: 1. backlog.txt - a list of all potential ideas and tasks 2. changelog.txt - a list of iterations/versions/milestones Whenever I have an idea or bug, I add it as a line in backlog.txt When I want to actually work o

I thought myself geeky for making this PDF cheat sheet, but now I see it's perfectly normal to do this sort of thing. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/222781/HTTP%20Status%20Code%20Defini...

Cool. I wanted to do something just like this, except the messages would decay over time.

You are correct, sir. Equity in this company would be worthless to me, just a token of their appreciation.

You could say that I assumed the general risk of dealing with people, but amirmc is correct that I did not assume any formal business risk. I.e., I did not receive stock options or any other compensation that is normally given to risk-bear

Yes, the other employees that have beef are taking it up with the CEO. I wasn't a real "CTO" as you one might think. But as far as that small company was concerned, I was responsible technology direction, although I didn't have my own bud

I've heard that through the grapevine, and other commenters have concurred, but I've never confirmed it. Update: according to 11 USC Section 507, wages fall in 3rd place. I am not a lawyer so I may be reading this all wrong, but it goes "ad

I think you hit the nail there in that I'm really curious on how to solve the social problem in more of a win-win way as you described. I would probably break down and rank the problem like this: 1. Character - how do I carry myself with j

Thanks very much for your advice and sharing your story, it is really helping me think through this situation.

Thanks for your comment trizk. I think you capture what I mostly feel in my gut. I really do feel like the CEO really believes in the company to a fault. His gift and curse seems to be that of a hyper-visionary; what he sees in the company

That is my fear in pushing too hard. I actually do want the company to succeed, but I just don't have the wherewithal to give the company this free loan.

The amount owed me is roughly the same as yours. I have positive cash flow in my personal finances so I'm above water, but if someone gave me that much right now it would almost feel like winning the lottery. What do you mean when you say

I think you can at least take some credit for telling your employees to look for other jobs. Our CEO would come into our office and say, "I just had a meeting with a potential investor and he's committed $25k!" He always had our hopes up,

I don't feel good about fighting them over the money. This may sound weird, but I do want the company to succeed. However, I might feel worse if they flat out got away with it. There are several of us employees who are owed back salary an
