Just came here to say big thanks to you and everyone else at Khan Academy for the tremendous work you're all doing. As a working parent who has now been thrust into the role of tea…

Apologies, that was a mistake on my part when I submitted.

Hi, what did you do for a career change if it's okay to ask?

I would love to work for an outfit like Pivotal. Unfortunately I live in Maine and I know they don't do remote. :( I'm feeling seriously burnt out at my current position as the cul…

Thanks for sharing this! The only thing I had found was stuff like SportsXML, etc. but it took me weeks to just get a demo data dump for a single game and the pricing was way too m…

Hi, do you have a link to these feeds by any chance? Was hoping for something like this for a POC. Thanks!

Perhaps Disconnect search might work with this. Then both Omniref and Google can mind their own business.

Great work! I tried the workout for the first time after a run this afternoon... it kicked my butt! As I was following along on the ipad I was thinking a simple app would be perfec…

I worked with a talented C++ programmer who had flown airplanes in the Pacific Theatre in WWII. I don't think he necessarily needed the money as much as just enjoyed the job but it…

The message makes it sound like it's all over, but this alludes to a reboot in 2013: https://twitter.com/amyhoy/status/271279292741201920

I see a growing number of teams using IRC, Campfire and Hubot as part of their daily work. What do people think about building a service which provides Hubot like functionality for…

Hubot for Business. Aimed at users who rely on a variety of services such as analytics, business intelligence, CRM, e-commerce, and more. It's a virtual assistant/gopher that stand…

Anyone have recommendations/guidelines on checking your posture and setup? I had a friend who worked at Apple and said they had people who could come by and review your desk setup …

What did you use for wrist supports? If you can share any specific products it would be greatly appreciated.

My cofounder and I were remote. He in SF with me in Maine. We would try to meetup every few months and would alternate who had to travel. It definitely requires more discipline and…

Perhaps it was the journalistic tone that the author presents while relying on stereotypes and massive generalizations that makes it difficult to take seriously.

Clearly the author can make broad sweeping generalizations after having talked to a few people in a city of 9.8M. The logic that 9 to 5, work, life, kids and profitability can't le…

He's also got a restaurant in the Marshal Field's food court. I can't remember the name but it was tasty. Lower price lunch type fare that beats the hell out of the usual stuff.

I'm planning on purchasing a new 13" MBP this weekend. I'd like to add a 256 gig SSD to this and save cash by not purchasing from Apple. Does anyone have recommendations on specifi…

Yup. We wasted a considerable amount of time going for silly optimizations like this when we should of been trying changing the entire copy and layout. It felt like we were doing s…

I'd also suggest Ash Maurya's Running Lean book. It covers how to implement Lean Startup principles for a product idea in detail.

I've enjoyed using Rails for a long time now and still do. That being said, I've started steering towards Sinatra more given the minimal startup time and speed. The biggest gripe I…

I've done it for over three years now. At first, it was really tough, now I actually enjoy it vs. the alternative. Some things that have worked for me: - Invest in a good workspace…

Great post, thanks for sharing. This gives me a much more actionable set of criteria to evaluate with the next time around.
