Hey Zynga people, we're based in Austin and hiring for front-end. And our culture is pretty much the anti-Zynga: bootstrapped, slow growth, sane hours, no deadlines, strong design focus, and respect for our team and our customers. Let's get

What classes or groups would you want to see in this space? I'm guessing many of the existing tech oriented groups (Austin on Rails, Austin.rb, et al) will start meeting there. Many of these groups already met at the OtherInbox offices on t

You are on your own for parking...but there are lots near the Omni available for rent starting around $50 / mo. I believe most of the people working there now rent spaces in the St David's lot a couple blocks away. I personally live downtow

I just got a tour of the space...and I think it's going to be a great thing for Austin startups. The startup scene here has been fragmented over the past few years, with little pockets across the city in smaller coworking places, creative s

I agree that an explanation would be an interesting glimpse into the designer's process. However, the author clearly put more thought into this than simply "rearranging elements around a page." The "Quickstart" link was removed, a menu was

This isn't an either / or decision for a company. It makes sense to create a net if you're early in the lifecycle of a company or product—before it's reached product/market fit. Once a startup has reached product/market fit, however, creati

Why show the second figure to the user? They don't need to see the calculation you made to determine the sort. Just sort the objects in the order determined by this formula and only show the ratings given by users in the interface.

That was the author's assumption, but it's not correct. iMessage requires both the sender and the recipient to have compatible devices with iMessage enabled. Even putting your iPhone in Airplane Mode will cause you to receive all your text

The author had already disabled cell service on the iPhone, which is why disabling WiFi should be a sufficient alternative to stop the phone from receiving iMessages.

I believe the author can just turn off iMessage on the iPhone and it'll solve the problem. In fact, simply turning off the WiFi is probably enough as well. In other words, this issue only occurs when a user switches away from iPhone as thei

I agree. Whenever I defend Foursquare to non-users, I use the "friends sometimes come meet me" explanation. Forecast solves this in a more practical way by providing my friends advanced notice. If I had to choose between the two - I'd much

The original Basecamp isn't going anywhere, so those 6000-ish employees won't be out a thing. They'll just need to advance a few IT years to be able to use Basecamp Next. From the article: "We know it’s not always easy to upgrade your brows

I thought SEOmoz and Ginzametrics were almost direct competitors. Does anyone know why you would use Ginzametrics over simply signing up for SEOmoz directly and using that to track SEO progress?

I'd be pretty mad if my friends and neighbors were taking five-gallon buckets of my water, bringing it to an Aquafina factory, and then an Aquafina sales rep was ringing my doorbell trying to sell me $3 bottles of water.
