From what I hear, Microsoft has been extremely active in hiring tech and skilled workers in Kenya this year. Really hoping they keep it up!

You could honestly spend a month in any of those countries, and barely scratch the surface of all the cultures, people, and ecosystems. I would highly recommend Ghana as a base, du…

I spent a year in Ghana in 2017, and I had the pleasure of meeting numerous software engineers and tech entrepreneurs who were doing extremely high quality work for 1-2k USD / mont…

I think Apple is a little too big for Nuance to acqui-sue. Things might end very differently this time.

You should check out some of the newer pumps in the past few years - specifically the Tandem t-slim and the OmniPod. A lot more functionality, and a lot less pager like.

I think the service you're thinking of is called PackageFox.

Along with a call to action, this would serve as a better homepage than the current one.

I'm baffled by this admiration of commit messages that do nothing to explain the code committed.

1. Keep The T open until three or four, so busy entrepreneurs can get home for a few hours of sleep. 2. Get nonlocal VCs and Angels to come to Boston to make deals, and show the lo…

Extending bar and club hours doesn't even make my list of things Boston could do to improve the entrepreneurial environment.

Canonical has done many questionable things recently, but innovation like this is why they are going to succeed commercially.
