I use a Happy Hacking Pro 2. I think the tactile feel of switches are a mater of taste, and I'm not inclined to hard sell you on my preference. Aside from a pleasant feel and sound, the keyboard's compact size makes it an ideal travel comp

"If we are hiring you because you are awesome, then you have 30 days to do something awesome" I'm curious about how much autonomy and latitude people need to do something that breaks the awesome threshold. It seems to me that the more gu

most garages are ill-equipped barns To abstract and paraphrase (wildly): there are 10x work environments, and 1/10x work environments. It seems to me that the least productive environments let "now" trump "great" – so attracting (and reta

There is a coin worth $1 USD that doesn't require mining and can be exchanged anonymously. Is the cryptographic aspect a hard requirement? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_coin_(United_States)

Maybe, maybe not. This essay was published almost ten years ago... "Wealth is what you want, not money. But if wealth is the important thing, why does everyone talk about making money? It is a kind of shorthand: money is a way of moving w

This looks interesting, any chance you will add Twitter or Google+ authentication soon? It's mostly just API key configuration, otherwise I would submit a pull request.

At first, that quote made me shake my head. However, it took me a minute to realize that the advice isn't "Google all the things!" Certainly, having to search for an answer is inevitable. But it is also orders of magnitude more slow than

I would be unlikely to pay $8 per month, but I would pay commission for selling it or sharing advertising revenue. Using a TXT record to indicate a domain is for sale seems interesting too. (edit: yes, I do have a handful of "unused" side-p

I think it is strange to rely on HR and recruiters as a filter. I would prefer someone to introduce themselves to the entire company: tell me what you can do and what you want to do, send me a reference to any relevant portfolio, and I'll
