Sounds like the setup at WeWork offices. Granted, it's a co-working space instead of a single company's office, but I found it to be a good mix when my company worked out of WeWork Golden Gate last year.

From reading the post it seems like her dad made this decision for her, which feels a bit off to me. While the school may not have been serving her needs intellectually, I can see a strong argument for sticking it out socially. Then again

As an outsider to scaling issues, what strikes me about SoundCloud's struggles with shedding their Rails past is how similar their problems sound to Twitter's problems. Granted, a microblogging service has a different set of conc

You're making a big assumption, which is that all those good engineers love to live in Silicon Valley and want nothing more than to stay in the area their entire lives. For each one of the engineers who feel that way, there's s

A well-articulated point, but I disagree with ruling out the concept on this basis. Affordances could be made to make this sort of concept more usable. For example, the pinch could work when the user is approximately within the icon dimen

I'm familiar with a couple of vendor solutions but this is the first platform-agnostic one I've come across. Looks promising, excited to check it out. We used UserVoice's iOS SDK for awhile, then decided to drop it when we s

Not sure it should be obvious you don't. Pull requests are especially well-suited for a team environment, but using PRs in a solo project can still give a higher level of structure to the progression of your code. Gives you an opport

Depends on whether or not quality of the product is a factor in your cost calculations. It should be, and for many startups and solo developers, it absolutely is.

> You have 0 control over distribution though, which is pretty important to me. Simply having to wait a week to get approved for the iOS App Store (and less on Android) doesn't constitute 0 control over distribution. You can still

I agree that you must put in time to get better, but I think the difference with programming is that more hours does not necessarily result in getting better. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe that's no different than the e

You're right, we don't know enough from the original story to say for sure. It's not productive to argue over incomplete stories.

Yes, and the fact that the state lies within a country now notorious for having a dysfunctional Congress, the same body that pulled the rug out from under SSC's original proposal in the 90s.

Your conclusion is probably correct, but it's misleading to suggest Taplytics is doing the same thing we've always been able to do with web views. They go further than that by allowing teams to change (aspects of) the native code

It will be interesting to see how Apple reacts to this, if at all. I don't believe what they've done is strictly against App Store guidelines, but a change in the functionality of an app after it is reviewed could be cause to pul
