I work for a company with full pay transparency – well, complete transparency across all parts of the organisation – I can't imagine working in an opaque environment ever again. I love it.

My nephew built this as one of his first Mindstorms projects. It works amazingly well, especially given the limited components - quite extraordinary to see in action.

I love this idea. I did a quick pure-CSS implementation, not bullet-proof by any means - biggest downside is it's reliance on the `required` attribute: http://jsfiddle.net/thetron/qpsnH/

I started using Airmail[1], and I love it. Mainly for label support with Gmail, but there's lots of little bits of UI features that I love about. Definitely worth the $1.99 or whatever it is on the App Store. [1]: http://air

Thanks for mentioning this! I had completely missed the announcement. That's really exciting, I wonder if pin.net.au will adjust their pricing to match Stripe's. Good to have some healthy competition locally.

We love sentry. We made the switch from Hoptoad/Airbrake, because the pricing based on event volume rather than number of projects. We use it to track a group of small-scale Rails applications - which are growing in number, but reasonably l

Super relieved to see that - I was seriously disappointed to see Corey's name in amongst the mob. That's how an apology should be written.

It's definitely my intention to. At the moment it's a bit of a hodge-podge, but it's definitely on my to-do list to release it as a properly packaged (and tested) rubygem.

We tend to run out of private repos on our organisation gold plan, but have a little ruby script which can pull down some of the older projects (and their wikis), zip them up, archive them to S3 and then remove the repo on Github. It can al

We had a app finally get thought the review queue last week after a 12 day wait. Maybe there's a recent surge of apps hitting the store post-WWDC? No problems with corrupted binaries for us though.
