Columbus, Ohio: http://www.covermymeds.com/main/careers Ruby / Python folks who want to work on a successful healthcare product with a team that knows what they are doing. Great wo…

Python Devs who want to build a healthcare product that is fixing a big part of healthcare pain for patients and doctors. Looking for thoughtful pros, not egos and code ninjas. htt…

QuickBooks proper is nasty, but one very compelling reason many businesses use it is that you can hand over your "QuickBooks file" to almost any accounting firm; they can do your t…

We have used Connect Pro with more than 100 attendees.

I think the very biggest companies (with hundreds/thousands of users) would require a long sales cycle, but I would start by ignoring that market since those companies aren't going…

This is a market that is ripe for innovation. The large incumbents are very expensive and offer an experience that borders on abuse. My company has about a half-dozen heavy users a…

It isn't beside the point. He isn't doing his job, and painting it as simply criticism of his failure to emote is a smokescreen.

This is very cynical. Are we really to believe that the only part of Obama's reaction one would find lacking is his lack of theatrical anger? I would argue that his actions are com…

I suspect that not charging overdraft fees will result in adverse selection-people that have no money and therefore can't be used to build a loanable savings asset. I really hope t…

Could be wrong, but don't think anyone at Innova is involved with Cohpy. We contribute at OWASP (both corporate and time), and have been a big supporter of PHPMeetup in the past. W…

Sorry, locals or willing to move only for these positions. We do have a remote employee, but I wouldn't want to do it unless the dev started off local

We're adding to our team at http://www.covermymeds.com . This product is about a year old and has significant revenue. Our major effort is building our API and a real-time processi…

The main use-case I see for this is physical objects which already have a barcode. If you were going to go to the trouble of barcoding something yourself (e.g., business card), you…

This is why the Ruby (esp. Rails) community only works for startups that pay in "equity." Down-mod if you want, but I've been running a 20 employee company for more than six years …

I've been going to Seaside FL ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaside,_Florida ), one of the early NU towns for many years, and just had my wedding there. The highway 30A coast, whi…

Yes, I read the article too. The cost of the twitterer's salary is just a minor part of this maneuver. It is unavoidable that this person will be supported by public resources, jus…

Your tax dollars at work. I would be for this expenditure if it were likely to involve real communication. Instead, your money will be spent to pander to the proletariat and to ove…

Your app should have a "how much would you pay?" field. The answer is probably zero for most of these.

This is very cynical. So saying "thank you" implies that a meeting was one-sided? I thought it was just being polite.

When a customer is going to spend more than $100k, they look for a relationship to minimize risk. Golf and similar activities are what the buyer demographic does with their friends…

It is insulting to this company's employees that Schwartz still doesn't get it. This tweet is characteristic of his failure to view the world as it really is, and to sell something…

We've been in this space for a long time, doing both consulting work and two healthcare web services. It is usually a mistake to think of HIPAA as some sort of over-arching checkli…

Disney made money from proprietary content last quarter (they paid $0.35/share dividend), and censorship helped the Chinese Communist government remain in power. So the system "wor…

Elegant, and one seems to follow from the other. The only problem is that the analogy is wrong. Copyright seeks to improve customer choices by creating profit incentives. Those who…
