I would love to get an answer from someone on this for sure!

Yeah good point. It's something I forget sometimes that AWS uses AWS... and that even if I don't rely on a particular service specifically, a service I rely on may, in fact, rely on that service. Hopefully there is a relatively fa

Here's the SQS Error Log right now: 3:14 AM PDT We are investigating increased error rates in the US-EAST-1 Region. 4:06 AM PDT We can confirm increased error rates for CreateQueue, SendMessage and ReceiveMessage API calls in the US-EA

SQS is the specific service giving me a ton of trouble right now. Hope they resolve this quickly. Had rayguns about sqs all night heh. So are they saying they are throttling SQS because of the DynamoDB issue?

This is a great, short piece of advice.

The challenge in equating our two experiences is the perspective from which the LOI was received. For them, it was a message in the form of another low blow from this high pressure accelerator trying to wrest away 50% of their business. Wit

Disclaimer: TS Chicago 2014 It's hard to choose where to start, as this blog post just misses it on so many levels. So, we'll just pick "Mentorship Is Not The Primary Focus." This summer, we had over 150 mentors complete

The space that TechStars uses in 1871 is separated from the main area, in an enclosed office area. Doors can be shut and distraction is pretty effectively minimized. It works pretty well, from my experience. Also, yeah... The food court is

I was a founder of a company in the TS Chicago class this summer. I can tell you that this letter of intent was one and a half pages long, contained a simple, bulleted list of documents required for due diligence, and explained the structur

I just did some price comparison. It looks like cloudfront is actually the same price as data transfer out of S3, but in addition you have to tack on a $.02/GB fee to get the data to your cloudfront edge nodes. If I am wrong about this

It is great that you emphasize that. Success (or at least progress) seems to come down to what the founders choose to spend their time doing and/or be distracted by. It is really easy to let meetings distract you from building.

I think this article is really short-sighted, in that he is just making a blanket statement that doesn't apply to all incubators and doesn't apply to all companies. We are applying for incubators now, because it will give us the o

Thanks for letting me know! Going to update on my development environment so I can run our tests against it to be sure nothing broke.

If I were you, and I wanted to see how elegant and great PHP can be, I would just go check out and learn Laravel 4. I recently moved from CodeIgniter 2.x over to Laravel, and it was like breathing fresh new air at the top of a mountain. Eve

If those videos were available to be purchased from his site, or if you could subscribe to his site to get premium video content, do you think that you would do that?

Is there anyway to get PHP intellisense in VS2013? I love me some Visual Studio, but since we do our web apps in laravel... I have had to abandon it for the time being.

It is actually not against their TOS to accept payments or run additional ads alongside their content.

I totally agree with you on this. It is mind boggling. We are resorting to working on a platform for video discovery and monetization, since we just got disgusted as both content creators on YouTube and also as consumers (and found so many

I often believe that these arguments over which language is better are a detriment to actually getting stuff done. But here I am commenting on stuff, rather than coding... so what does that say about me? :)

This is my situation too. I mean, I know PHP and I know CodeIgniter. I have tons of already ready to deploy code based in those idioms, so why port everything to laravel? or Ruby? Maybe down the line or something... but not when speed matte

I agree. This also shows up in Stratego on some levels, with the interesting twist that you can't understand the size of the force in each area.

This seems like such a weird statement by them. I mean, so many people live for the offline experience. And I guess, you can make a case that connectedness offers awesome ways to improve your experience, but that certainly should not be re

My question, as a start-up founder, is how important is an animated vs live action vs screen capture style video? We are in the middle of a time where we should probably think about doing one of these for our site, but I just am not sure th

Well, Windows 8 is a great start, but surely they realize that they are going to have to behave more like an iterating start-up to keep up the pace with other OSs. Their dominance is waning if not in number, in thought share. They woke up t

You know, the truest thing about this is that it takes time and effort to really make things happen. It is the engineers and the hobbyists that are taking the time and nights to solve problems. There is a lot of good, unexpected stuff comi
