For the owners of a small bootstrapped company, pretty much anything that doesn't increase revenue is a distraction and should be delegated to someone else, or some other company. That doesn't mean you always can delegate them. Or

There are 20-30 ruby conferences every year in the US alone. I've been to about 7. They all had > 200 attendees. Even the less-known ones tend to sell out well in advance. Freelance rates for ruby developers are crazy-high. In Seatt

I switched a few months ago and it's been great. I was afraid I was going to have to switch away, since we're going to be out of the country a lot next year. I'm super happy to be able to stick with them now.

Is that $25k in revenue? Profit? Or total transactions from which you take a %? Just curious. I really like your lean approach.

You are a black box. Your brain and body take in the world as input and produce thoughts, feelings, and actions as output. Some of the most valuable knowledge you'll ever acquire is knowledge of how that black box works. Are you feelin

You are giving up too early. You can make money on this product, but you just have to be willing to spend time learning to market it. And by market I don't mean advertise. I mean, finding a group of people who really need inventory man

Seems like this article is conflating service workers with knowledge workers. Being a chauffeur isn't the same as being a designer.

What does the asterisk in the title refer to? That usually means there's a footnote, but I couldn't find one. Even tried clicking on it. I'm going to say that if a startup's blog leaves you with no idea about what the startup does, then it'

It becomes non trivial to detect when they start spamming using 100s of aged accounts run through proxies. You can detect that lots of people are submitting stories to the atlantic, but it looks organic.

Heroku isn't for apps that can't stand downtime. My experience has been that if you have 2-3 heroku apps, and you monitor them with a 3rd party tool, you'll see random "server not found" behavior every few weeks. (And no, they're not just t

IMHO, bootstrap is nice for small short-term projects where the developer is making the design decisions. However, it's been my experience that the design of most midsize and larger projects is greatly influenced by a designer. And unless t

Hmm, I don't have much experience with working while traveling through lots of countries. I can imagine that does make it harder. Though, to be honest I did do most of my work from a Starbucks. Even went on a date with one of the baristas.
