Programmers are inherently encouraged to be lazy, so they'll follow the easiest path assuming you're careful to actively encourage that... if you're not really careful about exactly how "obvious" you make your inten

Are you sure it's not more along the lines of "don't 'play' at it, do it properly?" Perhaps I'm reading too much into it. I guess that's the problem with this sort of vague generalised advice :)

Seems to have been coming for a while ( http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/05/gowalla-acqhire/ ), but I think they just pulled the trigger judging by this tweet https://twitter.com/maxvoltar/status/178658732950040576 .

Obviously it would be nice not to be rude to people who, after all, are working on something that benefits you, if you are prepared to call other people out like this: http://rubyhitsquad.com/Ruby_Hit_Squad.html Then I believe you should

May be slightly off-topic, but I feel a little pain behind my eyes whenever I see the hack-around-namespaces function naming (e.g tt_whatever, for "ThumbTack" presumably). Surely a singleton class would be a nicer way to do this (or just le

When aggregating stats in this manner (by Day) how do people deal with Time Zones? For instance, if I have one user in, say, NZST, their "Tuesday, 22 February" is still "Monday, 21 February" in PST - and the real issue is that the buckets a

IIRC, this is actually invalid Javascript syntax that Chrome/Firefox/Safari choose to ignore. JSLint picks it up: Error: Problem at line 1 character 22: Extra comma. var x = { foo : "bar", };

Be careful with this. We've used it on a number of sites, and whilst overall it's beneficial, there are a number of weird things to watch out for. For instance: - Don't add rounded corners to a <table> element - this will crash

I think there's a more succinct explanation of this somewhere, but I think people usually overvalue their own contribution whilst simulataneously undervaluing that of others (see: http://books.google.com/books?id=YywIHNBn_YEC&lpg=PA147

It's very interesting to note the backgrounds of the various people involved in this debate. http://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanielwhittemore would lead me to believe Nathaniel is not a "code"/execution person (I could be wrong, obviously).

That's really interesting, thanks. We've talked about adding more information about the market in general, and that's the intent of the blog (blog.200square.co.nz), but it's not very prominent at the moment. Thanks!

You would definitely be able to see it first! You'd just organise a suitable viewing time with the owner (you can send messages back and forth using the system)

You generally get in touch with a buyer directly to book inspections. We might develop something to make that a little easier though, so thanks for the suggestion. We definitely don't expect anyone to buy a house without seeing it!

You can see we've got 13 properties listed publically - there are quite a few more in the pipeline, including deals with some building companies. We've only been live a couple of weeks, and it's the main holiday time (summer) over here, so
