Damn, that is fucking stupid. Your post is bad, and you should feel bad.

I used to have a boss who would tell me how I had the power to do anything, to change the world, with my magical software-writing abilities. He didn't understand why I wasn't out starting my own business, with no one to tell me what to do.

I just get tired of people's laziness and lack of attention to detail. Not because I'm a perfectionist, because it causes problems. It often falls to me to figure out how exactly someone else fucked up. It gets old .

Dude, it's a social networking tool like any other, except it's based around photos. You know how this works. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking_service

Instagram doesn't use Facebook, and is instead its own network.

Taking a photo is a creative endeavor, not necessarily an effort to flawlessly recreate how something actually appears to the human eye. Engineers frequently do not get this.

I don't think Google is on a good path right now, but I would majorly hesitate to compare them to Yahoo. Yahoo has dawdled for years with no clear vision of what the hell they are doing. In fact, you could argue that Page's current strategy

Wait, Android boosters always point out that it was around before the iPhone's release. Now we're saying it was created to keep Apple from controlling the mobile industry? Hmmmmmmm.

Well, I guess that is pretty much what I'm thinking. The barrier to entry is low, but that just means the barrier to having your userbase taken by Groupon or LivingSocial is equally low.

Strange that there is still so much daily-deal stuff being worked on. Is this really fertile ground for a business? (Honest question.) Is everyone still reacting to the Groupon IPO, even though that business has all sorts of smells?

Come on, the author of TFA covers that point explicitly. > This kind of casual copyright infringement, with no malicious intent, is exactly the kind of thing that SOPA was after.

Interesting - this article blames Amazon, another blamed the iPad squeezing BB's margins. I say the blame lies with the clueless way these stores have been run for years. thehigherlife's anecdote about trying to buy a cable is a good exampl

I guess I always thought it was a fool's errand to contribute to some company's corpus of knowledge which they will surely sell or profit from, and the only reward is an integer somewhere gets incremented. But it turns out the content on St

I guess I don't agree with our current reverence for creation. It's easy to create things and shove them out into the world. The work that comes after, though, is unsexy, unglamorous, and usually less fun than the creation part. It's also w

I think .NET is great, and most of my career has been working in C#, but targeting Windows and developing on Windows is just a bummer.

Yeah, the only way to do that right would be to give the infinite scroll a container with a fixed height, and drive the infinite scroll based on the position of the container rather than the entire page.

We're just people who do a job. I find it distasteful, all this folklore and acting like we are bunch of special, precious gems who need our "flow" and should be allowed to dress and act like mutants. Read the Dale Carnegie book and get ove

Pretty cool until you click a link in the list, go back, and make a sad face when you realize the list has reverted to the first 20 items or whatever. Then you have to scroll, wait, scroll, wait, scroll to get back to where you were.

Uh, awesome. Hope you had your finger on the button if you are an actual developer who wanted to go.

This is an incredible piece. Brutally honest, and I can absolutely see myself in the author's shoes.

I love JavaScript. C# is pretty rad too, but I do mostly front-end these days.

There will always be people who hate redesigns. People hate change. At my company, every time we've made something that we know is better than what came before it, there are people who bitch. After a while you learn to ignore that, which ca

What if platform x costs 1.5 times as much to develop for, but then sells 3 times as many copies? (Assuming the same app price across platforms.)
