I really don't understand this community sometimes. If you are going to downvote a comment, why not explain why? Is there a perceived laziness? Or have I missed something??? At lea…

2x games: SuperHot and Onward. Both just totally blew my mind! Google them if you've never heard of them before. And Onward really shows the power of an Indie Dev.

Thanks for the link. I find the people that work on this stuff fascinating!! To have that much precision (with 15 seconds left, left just stop). I can right-click and deploy some c…

I travel with my wife and 2 kids. I have NOTHING! And yet, I am hyper aware of how I might be perceived. It's one thing to fight the good fight! And its another to poke the bear. I…

I'll take horrible graphics over awesome gameplay any day. Take a look at 'Onward' - just shows how simple can equal awesome!

A "Finding Dory ad" doesn't sound right. Did that really happen without installing something dodgy??

I never really understand why comments like this get downvoted. There seems to be love for the free market. That is until the free market goes against what I want. Then the free ma…

> Always show up in court if you are being sued THIS! If nothing else, its a sign of respect. The judge doesn't know the history, doesn't know the background. He knows there are tw…

They are all Netflix shows. As others have said. Pablo & Marco Polo. Piper Chapman from Orange is the New Black and Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things. (Won't make sense if you have…

The end user (my mother, sister etc.) definately wouldn't know that. I remember when Youtube came out, and all the nerds said "I could write that easily, not that big a deal". This…

Lol - welcome to the club! (the confidence) find yourself a good business coach. You may burn through a few but that's all part of it. I can relate to your comments, I was there ab…

I'd never heard of the Oric before. The Wikipedia article seems incredibly biased. What software would you run on it?

>Eh, I'm going to question her ability to identify the difference between a Strad and non-Strad based on this double blind study lol! That is a brave statement. As @dcsommer said, …

My wife is a professional violinist. (In Australia at least) if you've watched the news or a recent Australia movie, you would have heard her play. She says you can ALWAYS tell the…

(for me) it's your last two points: "well-tested", and "maintainable". It's one thing to get the feature / bug fix in the current branch, its another know what well-tested means an…

See the Product Hunt example. It's not that dashboards are bad, they should immediately be obvious what the user should do. The eBay example is good too - just wtf is going on ther…

Dropbox and Youtube always spring to mind. There were Dropbox solutions for YEARS before they came around. Even Microsoft had one (well before OneDrive) they gave away for free - s…

Yes, go out and have a coffee with every business owner you can find! Hairdressers, Accountants, Financial Advisers - ask them what they did! Go find a business coach! Look at thei…

1) Yes, a couple of times. But in the long run, we were so much better for it. (For me at least!) I overestimated how obvious my product idea was. You see this all the time! The ma…

I agree - you very much need to learn the rules first, before you go and break them

Hmm... I'm not too sure about that. Any examples? Show file extensions is disabled by default. I'll always go in and change that. But I can't think of a time where I've had to go i…

Makes for a good story. I mean, how many would they have made? 2,000? They know they can do a second run before Christmas. By then they would know if they should make 20,000 or 200…

The Nokia N95 was VERY similar to first iPhones. Heck, Steve Jobs is even quoted (quoting Picasso) as saying "Good artists copy; great artists steal"[1] [1] https://www.cnet.com/au…

This is why the whole startup space drives me mad! You can do a whole lot of naval gazing, and then what are you left with? First movers are hard, because (as you've described) you…

> If we were to pick a single moment in history that lead to their undoing I always find these sorts of comments interesting. Microsoft is a very different business than say other …
