I like your thinking. And there's nothing stopping you from delivering on that idea (because it's open!)

Agreed, however they rarely pull punches at the SvN blog. This is not the first time they make comments about the "others" (even if they're successful "others").

What's wrong with being young? I feel old at 27, but because I have 5 less years now to think of, develop, and launch new projects compared to a 22 year old. There's nothing wrong with being young and a CEO. In fact, you'll probably have

I've used Basecamp, Trac and Bugzilla. All are easy to use (and we've had some very non-technical users on them). My favorite though was trac, very easy to use, easy to set roadmaps and milestones. The bonus with bugzilla is that its mor

Sounds eerily familiar to the SvN mantra (37signals). I think the point is that momentum can be exhilarating while even the smallest missteps can really set a company back. Which is why, as a startup you need to positively reinforce your

I agree with you, but I also agree that major changes in a companies focus can really hurt morale (if the employees aren't sold on the idea they'll push back). Also, I think the author would agree with you to an extent. Apple really did pu

I hope they continue and expand the practice. It seems like a cool initiative, though I'm a little fuzzy on what the products of the initiative are. For example, you can get the foodbank data, which would be great for finding the exact lo

there's a correlation between depression and food, but there are also correlations between food and socio economic status. So being low income might also be contributing to mental health (which isn't addressed in the article at all; though

This is not to mention that kick ass programmers that leave can end up being competitors. Any employee that's valuable knows the ins and outs of your company/software (what's good about it, where the limitations are, what customers want/do

Plus I would never outsource copywriting. Good way to end up with a FAIL.

Yeah, I think one thing to add to that list is testing. I'm not a programmer, but I have often been able to root out bugs that really affect customer usability (and often can save our programmers time by finding the specific variables that

According to the question ask "do you think war is inevitable?" you'd be included in 9 of 10 think war is inevitable. What we want was not part of the question (and I don't think it is on peace.facebook.com either. Their question is "is w

Anyone else think it's weird that he wouldn't even mention twitter and facebook? he just called them "the two fine companies". I know they want to own the information and distribute it (that's their biz). But why not talk about them dir

I've got a mytouch. I think android is going to be huge. Time will tell, but I'm betting that it will become the sole "iphone competition" (though it will be codified in 100s of phones, not just 2)

radiolab (part of nyc's public radio) had a great news piece about this very topic. Back during the cold war like 1 in 3 people thought war was inevitable. It says a lot about our culture that 1 in 10 think that we can achieve PEACE. 66%

There's a lot of research available now in education that says that positive reinforcement works, but not when it's talking about intelligence. For example, students are much better off when you say, "you worked so hard on that project, it

Cary should have saved his time and just said "join the navy". I'm not advocating military service. But if this student doesn't want to stay where he is, doesn't know what he wants to do and doesn't have the means to relocate, it's probab

The only other thing I would add to someone thinking about getting into a start-up is to really think about the founder(s) and whether or not they may be capable of leading the company to greatness. It's possible that the founder of the com
