Very nice write up! :) It's really nice to see A/B testing promoted, as well as, a case for static sites integrated with web services. Those are the types of technologies I'm really looking forward to seeing grow in our industry.

I'm up voting this because I feel similar. However, I'm not sure if I feel Facebook is the main issue at play.

I feel this is more a case of poor user experience. This is a company who couldn't mark their service up 10-20% to account for taxes and a unified price. ...And the fact that Stripe doesn't generate and email out PDF invoices FOR YOU? Commo

I don't feel like loosely targeted PayPerAction ads will do all that well. From a publishers perspective it will almost definitely do worse than AdSense just based on the PPA component. For advertisers this might be nice, but why would they

Seconding this. :) Definitely an excellent advice piece. I think we all overestimate the skill and time a project or an idea will take.

What's the point? I'm 24 years old. Education was expensive, so I worked my way up as a programmer and web developer right out of high school. I've worked at some pretty big corporations and now I'm looking to buy a house while my friends a

Man! I'm noticing so many bugs and stuff. Not being able to change, fix, or edit this until next week is going to drive me crazy.

I want to second this comment. I spent my high school, and college years programming stupid shit and I had fun, but if I could go back I'd slap myself and learn some basic social skills and just be a kid. My social circle now days consists

The importance of learning some sort of social intelligence is so underrated. You see all these front page posts on hacker news "I taught my 5 year old son and daughter how to program in five different languages" like its something that wil

I just wanted to say thank you for this summary! :) Very good overview in retrospective after having watched the video. Good start to the discussion.

I agree. I wouldn't completely write off those smaller servers and I think it serves as a very good entry point for learning Linux and server administration. If you're just starting out with Node or Rails its great. I would recommend someon
