Sure, you can be a good manager and write great code at the same time. But not on the same project or company. Maybe your pet project outside of work or an open source project. To …

Step back from the marketing speak hyperbole and read that last sentence again. All you're saying is that "this app lets you take a picture and print it".

5 people in a small startup and not many mainstream users. It's very much early adopter.

Actually, there is no risk at all (if you know what's behind the covers). She is stagnating at Google. She had high ranking high influence positions at Google but over the years ha…

I'm sorry but I find it so hilarious. I worked at Yahoo and Google both. I know both their cultures (and especially the culture at Yahoo after all the good engineers left). IMHO, s…

Wow, haven't read such a vaporware article in awhile. The author promises a "I'm going to change 30+ years of email UI/UX" and instead proposes 4 different labels and a workflow th…

Sure, I understand you now. You're taking the content-centric approach vs. the social-centric approach. Which I guess should have been your question all along if you were adding th…

I don't understand your logic here. If your site deals with a niche subject, wouldn't you want Google to recommend more in-site links to your visitors (especially ones you care eno…

I'm so fortunate that I don't know anyone who needs a wheelchair. There's no market for that kind of useless thing really. Aren't crutches enough?

Adding to what you said, someone who discovers, attempts and solves this solution is already better than 70% of the programmers out there. They show promise of being motivated to c…

While your pitch deck is beautiful (no argument here), your usability is less than average. If those navigational elements are meant to be sections, why do you not support back/for…

This is exactly why I both love and fear the power of Kickstarter. It enables half-thought out ideas (claimed as "projects") to have a way to sucker good people out of their money.…

Couldn't agree with you more. I can't even fathom how ludicrous this idea is. What possible reason is there for a language to have a TLD? Let's make custom TLDs for .py, .java, .c,…

A great engineer is superior to an average engineer mostly due to their communication skills.

Usual practice in most companies. It protects them from exactly these sorts of things. Most companies that have this agreement in place also have a similar agreement when joining t…

Yes, debt can be (and usually is) zeroed out when you leave a company. As I explained in another comment, most companies (don't know about Miso) make you sign an agreement during y…

Your stance is very black or white - either you're for the employee or you're a founder. I don't think it's quite that clear. As an employee, I wholeheartedly agree that he should …
