Personally can't live without a high quality monitor. I use a single 42' Dell. It gives me the most productivity for the buck having a single space for every window, terminal and e…

I should have mentioned that this magical 100X PM chooses the right solution to the biggest problem. I'm not referring to the PM who manages a project he or she was given. You can'…

I've worked at 2 startups for a combined 14 years. One as an engineer and the other as a co-founder. I hate to say it but you and the author are both right. That's the incredibly f…

Glad you like old CP. I'm extremely happy with where I am. My statement romances the mentor I'd had found. Sheepishly my ideal mentor is me with 14 years of software experience.

Pointing out the tech I used at the time is a bit of a red herring for the argument I was making. The point I should have made was that I focused on the technology instead of the f…

I agree. We've started a project at work that we will maintain for years. We researched the setup for a few weeks and continue to tune it. Once you understand the small components …

Awesome write up. I'd love to know what the plan for monetization was. Was it simply hoping you'd be acquired or did you have plans to monetize directly from users.

Hey guys you mentioned that you have the observer send a message to the room. How does the Rails code send a message to the node server?

Yea, CSS animations are insanely CPU heavy. CodePen has to kill them after 5 seconds to keep the site responsive.
