> On an unrelated side-note, if you've played Half-Life, Freeman's Mind is a must-watch: it's an astoundingly funny bit of comedy that is just so brilliant. True. Also I just learn…

Currently I found peace of mind with react+redux. Once you find a stable and well configured boilerplate (Redux slingshot for me), it's smooth sailing.

As much as I would love to switch to GitHub for our private repos, it still is way more expensive than BitBucket.

This kinda defeats the convenience of this kind of key free systems though.

I'm pretty happy with the changes that tone down the DOM pollution. The versioning is a little odd though.

The guys at Bohemian coding discussed (even if not too in detail) it here: http://blog.sketchapp.com/post/134322691555/leaving-the-mac-...

Lucky you. My samsung oven has something like 20 buttons with cryptic icons. Feels like an old VHS remote control.

Way faster. We are using a rails API and a React+Flux app as a front end. The whole setup time alone is a considerable pain. I feel that the JS tooling is still too fragmented and …

That would be great. Any idea on how effort is required for an incubator to become affiliated? My incubator is a university, so they move their butt at a painfully slow rate.

I share your feeling. We are running our cloud platform on AWS, and it's hard to offer competitive prices when you are not founded and the AWS bills kick your ass. We are in an uni…

Yeah, the "meticulous design" made me chuckle. And they put it as the first selling point. "barely controlled mess" would fit better.

What do you mean by lack of retro compatibility? You can still ship apps that target ios6, you have runtime checks for APIs that are missing in one version, the IDE suggests what i…

We're pretty happy with React+alt. The development is streamlined and easy to understand.

Exactly. I'm a developer, but I try my hand desingning most of my apps. Sketch replaced Illustrator and in part Photoshop. I do all my vector graphics with it, from mockups to prod…

Worth every penny.

Getting started is one thing, completing a product is another. It's not an uncommon metric to apply a 1.5x or 2x multiplier to the development time of an iOS app to obtain the time…

Luckily no, organized crime is spread mostly on other regions, and as far as I know it doesn't seem involved in the ICT field. At least I hope :)

Yeah, the problem is that with this line of reasoning a startup is destined to fail. If I don't get clients, I can't keep my business open. That's what irks me. How can I prove mys…

iOS development will always be native for me, the tools are not perfect, but they feel right, I can get stuff done in no time. Android on the other hand... I can't express how much…

That, and because development is way easier.

As far as gadget goes, "newer is better" is a dominant factor in Europe too. The problem lays in the enterprise world. One time a client told me "you call this Visual Basic applica…

Unicorns? Ha! It's hard to survive, let alone be successful. No investors, convoluted laws, high taxes and complete lack of startup mentality. I'm a cofounder of an italian startup…

Yeah, I wanted to try Relay for a small project a month ago, but getting started seems really time consuming, and the documentation was pretty poor, with just a contrived sample. T…

Then people started buying 3rd party crappy stylus, because drawing with just your finger is hard. If there's demand, it would be stupid not offering a solution. The stylus is an o…
