Nice execution. We had a similar idea called http://www.pinchthelook.com but for women. The feedback was great and people 'loved' the site but ultimately we couldn't get to a scale where there was enough traffic a

I appreciate the post and I think it's insightful, but I think the real question is how did you get it on the front page of hacker news! I think that would be a very good next post to write about :)

We tried to launch pretty much the same concept a few years ago (dating through friends of friends on Facebook) but it didn't work out. It was called 'Trustcircle' and we still own the domain (www.trustcircle.com) in case you

Nice. Just signed up and created an application. Excited to see what may come out of this. I'm more interested in pairing with somebody who's better than me rather than working on a specific problem of my choice so hopefully someone can hel

Perhaps "any publicity is good publicity" - at the end of the day, he's had two posts about Betapunch on the front page of HN as a result of all this, and I doubt people will remember this whole episode in a few weeks.

I attended the last meet up in Boston whilst visiting and I have to say this Ruby group is pretty special. I will, for sure, be watching via Hangouts when it goes live!

Great post and a lot of useful information. Particularly relevant for me as I'm a noob starting out on my first project, much like described in the post. I've followed a very similar roadmap in learning bits of html/css (highly recommend th

I think the conclusion he has is right. It's not appropriate to pair 100% of the time. Having said that if you look at the way Pivotal labs pair up, they have really strict rules about what's allowed on the 'floor' e.g. No laptops, no cellp

Credit to you for sticking with it for 12 weeks and being successful. I had been attempting to learn how to program (Ruby) for the past 6 months (from a ZERO programming background) and in the beginning I honestly could not do more than one
