Honestly, I don't see how ridesharing is like stealing music. The ridesharing services are all competing fairly for riders except for Ubers underhanded tactics. The medallions capped the number of taxis so that cabbies could make a fai

There are bullet-ridden and blood-stained flags in San Francisco's City Hall that beg to differ and were carried by this city's sons to different wars and conflicts. I cried when I first saw them.

The part where they don't help you use the bathroom and you defecate on yourself in a con-air. This is both cruel and unusual, and a psychological pain.

I always recommend this book to people that feel they're about to be canned, or who were canned but can't figure out why. It seems you know the cause when you wrote: "I stirred the pot on the distinction between corporate and

Well, if you Google around, you get Peter Delahunty. It looks like he's gone from being a CTO at a few places (including 99dresses) to just working under a CTO. It looks like his strategy didn't pay off.

Thanks guys! I love using Twilio. I'm more of a Rails guy but I see that the design challenges will be the same.

The prices seem really reasonable and a steal if I was still in an enterprise environment. I'm not maintaining any prod servers right now, but $4.99 would be a sweet spot if I had a few hobby servers on the Internet that I was doing de

This is simply crazy talk. He creates a list of genuine issue, e.g. over-engineering and slaps them under the moniker of "because TDD." I don't know how many times production was saved because there was an automated test writ

This is pretty much standard procedure. Depending on his contract, it saves github from paying severance.

I still think a lottery ticket is still has far worse ROI, than the YCombinator application and startup process. Let's say you pony up rent for your YCombinator startup and are paying about $2400 / month + utilities for 3 months.

In the future, people will not be measured by how productive they are. They will see that human organizations greater than 150 people are divorced from reality. Productivity will be considered a shared delusion held during the Age of Work.

The law is very clear on discriminating against someone by virtue of race, gender and/or age in a work situation. A lawyer could make a very good case just based on her side of the story for the law being broken. Against the coder who

By that logic they should ban Paypal, Dwolla, Gyft, Gowallet, Visa, and any other payment app. They clearly haven't, and I'm not sure how Bitcoin apps are any different. The point is they aren't acting rationally.

The strategy around paper seems pretty smart. Rather than re-design Facebook's mobile experience, they just created a new app to interface with it. Given the track record for re-designs simply failing and causing user revolt, this is v
