Since you're looking for feedback: 1. Seeing a list of people associated with a product is kind of useful, but I specifically want to know what their role was / what they did, vs. just a generic quote. 2. I like the idea of having

In a similar vein, there's a really great talk by Eric Mazur, Physics professor at Harvard about peer instruction — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwslBPj8GgI He goes into why he started exploring the idea at first (s

I think it depends on what you're trying to achieve. For example if you're trying to pull off the iPhone in one year with 5 guys, it makes sense to spend time finding the best guys. You can also try to find 15-20 decent guys, but there are

I don't know the details, but to your and latchkey's point, I think the reason they support these SDKs (in addition to their generic Graph API) is that they're consumers of those SDKs. They have an iPhone app, an Android app, use JavaScript

I think this might be overly optimistic. Really smart people can also have really large egos and no patience for common courtesy. When they're sure of something, they have no problem calling someone out on it.

I didn't vote you down, but people are probably considering the difference between design and aesthetics/taste. Design should be a solution to a problem. In this case, the problem as defined is readability. Having lines of text one after th

I think one of the key words here that the OP didn't use was "for." I.e. he never said "I live for the present." Rather, I think the word he was going for (correct me if I'm wrong) was "in." I.e. "Live in the present moment." Don't live in

It depends on who you're working for (how top-down or bottom-up the company is) and how autonomous you are. Doing things cheaply and quickly, even in a web startup is shortsighted. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money. Sometimes

Depends whether you're innovating in the frontend or the backend. The user interface for the iPhone was completely designed before any of the frontend was coded. There's a great comment by tlrobinson somewhere about how the iPhone was desig

I can :)... Your resume usually serves two different audiences — the screener, and the person interviewing you. You should optimize for both audiences, and possibly work on breaking up "Skills" a bit. Your resume should be scannable, and mo

In addition to my normal commit and mailing filters, I set up one filter called "Non-direct" that's effectively "something that's not addressed directly to me and doesn't fall under any other filter." That means that the only things that sh

I think that this article is talking almost entirely about shipping. If you consider the start of Facebook or Twitter or Tumblr, a lot of what they had going for them was first-mover advantage and building out a product that people actually

The missing part of his article is the exact text of his message to his subscribers re: 'I told my subscribers that I got some money if they visited the websites of those advertisers.' There's a difference between "I support this product an
