Spot on. Most [serious] companies will have catered breakfasts/lunches/snacks on a regular basis. They don't advertise it as part of the "culture" nor do they offer it as a form of…

Paging Mr. Best...to the red courtesy phone, Mr. Pete Best, red courtesy phone please. Guy comes up with the idea to blog about the concept of working his way around the world. Nei…

Great idea. One thing that bugged me out right away was the sign-up form: http://i.imgur.com/hfYmbXF.png That needs to be a lot simpler and inviting. Let me play with the app first…

Man reviews crap websites, draws comparisons to crap websites of yore.

Another 10 direct emails alonng with cross-posts and threaded conversations is exactly what I don't need to get out of a stand-up.

I'd give my left nut to halve a room full of young, inexperienced and underpaid programming enthusiasts into a small group of know-it-all graybeards. Unfortunately, the human manag…

> at least have the courtesy to respond It may occur to someone that the person begging for resumes is nothing other than a low-level gnat who is fishing for applicants in the hope…

To be a better UI/UX designer, go to a foreign country. And stay for awhile. ftfy.

They're just trying to throw the whole enchilada at Uber to make them either go away or somehow curb their practice. The recent Boston Globe Spotlight Team's expose on the taxi bus…

Ah yes, being lectured by a 'consultancy' that provides little insight and much web annoyance in their own views.

Yet the cobbler's kids go strikingly unshod.

> I'm not happy with html links. Try something else instead of trying to break a very basic piece of web functionality with an unworkable requirement that you dream up.

"we went in search of applications to build" Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Having worked for spinoffs, spunouts, "we're from MIT" and a host of others throughout my…

It's a clear reflection of the market. Both creative producers and creative-minded consumers will flock to a platform that inspires grass roots design. Android is neither from a pr…

It's akin to a grocer refusing cash and instead only accepting payments made with their branded store card, for the customer's benefit. I'm surprised there hasn't been a legal chal…

I don't shop local any more unless it's for a premium item and the customer service is beyond average. Not when Amazon can deliver consumer items the next day.

> "First impression lasts." You're obviously too young to recall the first versions of Facebook or maybe you haven't even taken a good hard look at the latest one. They all suck bu…

The chaotic comment system IS the application. There's nothing else and that's what makes it so unique.

If you're not a designer, don't design. Just focus on building your product, app, service, whatever. Visual design is temporary and won't hinder adoption as long as the product its…

Pretty much. When I worked at bars in college I knew of a guy who used to give glowing recommendations for bartenders he'd fired. To his competition. Outside of that, the best thin…

Well that was easy. Thnaks.
