Love this! It's very intuitive and fun to draw gears of different sizes and hook them together. I'd love to be able to make more complex gears. I immediately tried to make a compound gear set with three gears and two different ban

While Esri HQ is in Redlands, there are an increasing number of R&D Centers around the world. Portland, OR, DC, Scotland, Zurich and China all hire front end and back end devs, UX and visual designers. While it was uncommon to work outs

While I follow your logic, there are a lot of companies out there like this. They're called "hidden champions" and modern industry has plenty of hidden stories like these. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/H

Glad to see that Yahoo isn't shutting down Pipes yet. I still run a lot of data through that system.

Thank you. Initially I sent this to people I knew, and the responses were to be included in a book to be distributed to people interested in hearing stories from programmers. Some of this is mentioned on the survey itself. I'll make a new s

The problem with categories like 'millennials' is that it generalizes an entire generation of people and makes it easy for people not within that group to say rude and untruthful things about an entire set of people. Instead of trying to un

We ran a 4-5 person startup from our apartment (and had the servers running in the closet) for a year before we got free office space. I had a different experience where we worked longer and faster when we were all in the same room (my room

I thought the same thing until I watched the video. It looks like she categorizes the business as "consulting", which both justifies the prices and irregular schedule of visits and charges. Those who pay for her services see a record of pur

There are plenty out there, but the overwhelming majority of them are doing their job instead of talking about it.

Thank you. I'm much more interested in 'people' in tech and interesting founders. What about the most interesting founders in the class? The most interesting 'people' in the class? So many people are excited about one kind of person in tech

This is a truly wonderful writeup. I especially appreciated the insight that "Marketplaces need a big disconnect between buyers and sellers". I try to tell this to startups that try to add indoor location-based technology to businesses like

My co-founder and I were sitting in Coupa cafe two years ago with a couple of VCs who told us that the Youtube co-founders had pitched them right from the same booth we were were sitting at. "Did you invest in Youtube?", I asked, to which t

Excellent! So you mean to say that my schoolyard days of being hated for liking computers are going to come back to me as an adult?

I have a problem with phrases like "eat your own dog food" because I worked for a company whose founder formerly founded a very large Pet supply company. He told story about actually having to eat his own actual dog food, then adjusting, br

I always start in my head with the goal of the speech, then I sit down and make a quick outline. I use the outline as a skeletal structure for my slide deck, otherwise I spend hours tweaking font size on the slides instead of understanding

Not sure whether to consider this a mental exercise or if this author is serious in his assumptions. If he is serious, the author seems to have forgotten about all of the jobs that cannot be automated. Book writing, art, entertainment, insp

I'd like to, but only if I can export my data later. I like the interface, but don't want another 3rd party keeping my data and evaporating eventually (and unexpectedly). Email invite to case at caseorganic dot com.

When done well, a skeuomorph helps a user to feel comfortable with an interface. Slight textures in digital interfaces help them to feel tactile. Good skeuomorphs take cues from an analog world to help a user navigate a digital one. when do

Why do great websites always feel compelled to redesign? Digg, Stumbleupon, Facebook etc. It is very unsettling. The equivalent of someone coming into you home when you're not there and changing the entire floorplan, then expecting you to b

Was excited to read the article for the history on Centipede, then had to filter through a tired rant on gender in order to get to it. In contract, this interview with PacMan inventor Toru Iwatani in Programmers at Work is absolutely fantas

Agreed. It was an extremely useful service. Helped to keep everything nicely organized and the reminders were helpful too! I wish they would keep the service going and just migrate it over to Salesforce. I would have paid more for it as a S
