   I'm just getting start with Python and was using the Requests library this morning. I didn't like that my tests were coupled to both the library and an Internet connection existing. This just hits the frontpage today and it is exactly what

   The title sounds like a negative, like Zapier adjusted their service and all of a sudden Ducksboard had a lot more work to do. Maybe "How Zapier allowed us to support a hundred new services in half an hour"?

   For the Games bundles, I always figured it was Linux users showing that they're willing to buy games if people will make them for Linux.

   Yes! Show up at a few local users groups, attend some conferences, actually understand the technology you're recruiting for.

   This is a great step forward. I wish it was in an object rather than globally scoped methods, but it's nice to have. Also, in case you didn't know, you can use bcrypt with PHP5.3 and the crypt() function. It's not as user friendly as this,

   Well I think as this issue with Parse shows, you can forget about the IT until you can't. If your app is down due to a mistake like this, it's even more frustrating because you have so little control on the situation.

   But certificates cost almost nothing these days, why not just spend the $20-$40 and get a valid one in there?

   Is there any value in companies like Parse selling their software as installable on your own servers (i.e., GitHub Enterprise). I ask, rhetorically, because I built a somewhat competing service that isn't doing too well and I'm looking to m

    Why is making it pretty a waste of time? And who says making it attractive took any more time than not making it attractive?

    I was confused as well. I assume Freshbooks the name is staying, seeing as http://www.cloudaccounting.com/ appears to be a legitimate site. Freshbooks is a great name.

    It's funny you call that late at night, I call it early in the morning. But I totally agree with you. I wake up daily at 3:10 and can get about 3 or 4 hours of good uninterrupted work done. It's also a great time to go to the gym because fe

    Why is that a bad thing? Competition is generally good, and it helps prove theres somewhat of a market for these ideas already.

    I built a service nearly identical to this ( https://accthub.com ) and that is one of the biggest issues we're trying to overcome as well.

    The triggering of custom events is a neat idea, I hadn't thought about that. Right now Accthub is just a data store, but being able to add some backend logic would be very nice. Thank you for your review.

    Thank you. I wanted a way to make it dead simple to calculate your bill. I don't like the idea of being charged per HTTP call. Very easy to let those get out of hand and get a large bill.

    Couldn't developers just build software and sell it without a recurring stream of revenue? I know the holy grail is a monthly charge, but companies are still making a lot of money just selling software for a one time fee. Case in point, Goo

    Is this something you can really plan out from the beginning? How many millions of developers would love to be able to create a product that drives enough attention to ensure an acquihire? Who knows, you might be right and some developers m
