As a hiring manager here's my concerns/issues with the current process of hiring/using a recruiter - recruiters don't screen well enough technically or personality wise - recruiter…

I'm seeing an increasing trend in business users having budget and spending it without it anywhere in the conversation. Especially with the rise of SaaS where the cost is easily bu…

I think you meant Ember. I've seen the same thing done a bunch of different ways in Angular. They all work. That being said, my team has come up with a way to develop Angular apps.…

Enterprise developer here (well mostly). I see this in most of our apps -- the same "template" is called hundreds of times in a session. An accountant auditing invoices is a perfec…

I've done this. I've done Angular. I've done Ajax calls to templates on the client side. I've done Knockout. Give me client side data binding (2 way!) any day of the week vs sendin…

We're .net devs, not looking to get acquired right now, but most of our stuff is migrating to angular on top of web API (with breezejs) so our hiring has been for the JavaScript si…

Sold some Microsoft office365 to a handful of clients. Averaging 1200/month.

Office 365 is a good alternative if you use Windows.

The wife approval factor of Windows software is zero. This won't fly in the living room. I want this on a set top box... And anything like yamj or xbmc absolutely chokes on my coll…

This is exactly my plan and need as well. 7pm and no dinner plans? Instead of take out... Have a soylent.

This wasn't news in 2013... Thus has been known for years (and why I have a focus electric until the end of 2015 - I'm waiting for the model e.

They make small pedallers that sit on an a frame and you sit in a chair to pedal. If you ever have to do leg rehab you'll get to use one.

Zero drop shoes (altra for my front feet specifically) and Vibram five fingers cured my shin splints. As soon as I switched I went from one mile = deadly pain to 3 miles feeling li…

I think a harder thing is making the decision to cut someone if they aren't making the cut. A lot of times it's like a bad girlfriend. The thought of being alone is worse than the …

Short term cash = consulting... But it's like heroin and hard to quit. It also has no long term value.

Can't sell windows server licenses if you let people run on Linux. Xamarins price is way too high and I bet apple would block the apps built with it if msft bought them (and they'd…

I've had a mbp for my last two laptops and I'm done with them as well. Finder, iTunes, the horrorshow that is xcode slay me. My rmbp has been crash happy and refuses to sleep (bugg…

Seagate Barracuda Green (ST1500DL003) 1.5TB 51 0.8 120.0% I've got one sitting on my desk that seagate sent me as a RMA return. Guess it won't be going back into our RAID.

Probably a dumb question but it seems as if the thermostat is dumb. Ie all it is is an interface to the hardware. If your Internet/wifi is spotty (very common)... Does your thermos…

A bit of background: - we've grown from 3 to 11 over the last few years and 95% of our revenue is consulting, but 2014 is the year of the product for us - some of our devs skills h…

I've actually had an idea for something like this for a number of years (I used to work for ClickMotive) but it's so very hard to gather this data. The use cases that lead to my th…

Agreed. The thing I took most from your article was where you mentioned the email was fairly concise, not long winded to end up with a "ugh, a book, deeelete" response. Since I wor…

I've had some startup clients do this and it's not worked out well for them (of course, we're in Dallas, not SV, so the response/pace of business is different). I think a lot of th…

This is retarded. The owner has employees. Not partners. He is carrying all the risk. Slow pay? He pays. Personal guarantee needed? His house is on the line. Needs cash to hire the…
