Read his book, Hackers and Painters. I don't think he's under appreciated. He was way ahead of the curve. And deserves to be happy with his family, or change the world some more..

My SO brought me to a planning meeting for a non-profit, and I met their founder there. We hit it off, and founded a startup together several months later when the time was right. …

The RJ Metrics founders Bob and Jake gave a really great talk sharing their seven year journey Monday night. Lots of good lean startup lessons, and they just raised a $16.5 million…

My favorite is Simplpost: http://simplpost.com/blog/what-is-this-thing/ It's not a command line tool, but it makes nice responsive static sites. And it's easy enough for my girlfri…

I couldn't agree more. In fact, this is why I started building a project for my girlfriend so she could create her own site. And now it's grown into something powerful that I reall…

I have been using a single 30" monitor as my main display since 2005. I love it. Only problem is having to adjust whenever working on another system (also been using it with a stan…

Philly

We already have one of sorts: http://startups.philadelphia.groupomatic.com/ It was started by another Hacker News member, epi0Bauqu. It started up a few months ago from a post here…

Off the top of my head: It's the 6th largest city in the US, and it's the birthplace of the country (lots of culture and history). Most of the buildings are well over 100 years old…

I'm a sane person that's happy to live in the middle of Philly. It's a great city, even though it's got some downsides. I never understand people that have such a totally negative …

Yes, some taxes and costs are higher, but I like living and working in a big city instead of the suburbs. There's a lot of incentives for businesses moving into the city now. Prope…

Philly has some issues, but it's much better than it used to be. It's a huge city. There's a lot of growth in some great areas. You get a lot for your money here. Many compare the …

Green tea. I get the good stuff from a Chinese grocery store nearby.

Gmail is great, but why would you ever rely on a 3rd party for a main form of business communication? I like having my own servers, but I build in lots of redundancy, so that I'm c…

I use both. You don't have to choose just one. Having your own email server gives you lots of options.

I've been using a 30" (2560x1600) monitor for over a year and I'll never go back to anything smaller. I only like laptops for traveling. You do have to take into consideration the …

I'm in Philadelphia.
