People throw out the word feminist without actually thinking about what it means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism - What does this have to do with feminism? The site doesn't claim that women don't have equal rights when it comes to

I think in any potential business venture the team is so critical that I'd go out to people I know to help, even for early prototyping. Admittedly I might not be your target demographic because I can code myself.

Interesting idea but I would have a huge aversion to giving anyone equity who I haven't had some experience working with in the past or I don't see as having a long term role in my company.

Do you think rails or backbone was a mistake, or both? I'm a huge fan of backbone and would urge you to stick with it. It pays off!

Here is my thought process... Regardless of how you feel about PHP, I've spent enough time with it that I can make it work and write good code, quickly. I do want to switch to another language at some point (I'll leave the reasoning for tha

As a PHP developer I've been waiting for the web-dev group to jump on board with Python 3 before I make the switch. I'm hoping it will be sooner rather than later.

This is kind of disheartening. I found it on the front page and saved it so that I could read the discussion later. I've gone through the same thought process while evaluating job offers at start up companies and would have been interested

I might be wrong but hasn't the Kindle been offering a free internet access to browse its store and even some online content for a while now?

I don't think there's any disagreement about using the right tool for the job. What I took from the original MicroPHP Manifesto is that the solution is not to have a ton of hammers to choose from. Instead, make sure you have a couple differ

My sister is a designer, but interested in learning how to code. I'll be seeing her over the holidays and I thought the best way to teach her the more technical side of the web would be through a quick hackathon style project. Here's our pi

It's great to see that there are other Wesleyan tech entrepreneurs out there. I moved to Madison, Wisconsin after graduating from Wes, so I didn't realize there was such a big Wesleyan tech scene in NY. That being said, there are a number o

Building a good user experience (in my opinion) involves: 1. A research period to determine which features your users need and 2. A brainstorming period to determine how to implement those features in a way that makes them easy to learn ove

This looks promising. Unfortunately I can't use any GUI tools because the server doesn't have a GUI installed.

Very cool! I can see myself using this. How are you able to parse out the ingredients so well? One suggestion: After submitting a url for one recipe I get a list of ingredients, great! It would be cool if the text box at the top of that pag

Yeah FB Connect is a great idea! I think many of my potential users are probably already on facebook already. As far as the TOS go, I'm a little too poor right now to hire a lawyer but the university near me has a great program where law st
