    I imagine the best strategy is to be yourself, answer the questions truthfully and have a good idea and not dedicate a bunch of effort to hacking the application. It's like reading…

    Is there a good place to match non-technical and technical founders?

    I strongly agree with some of the interactions in this article. Advice to Junior Programmers: Don't be 'that guy'. Don't be that guy that derails meeting and projects by trying to …

    This is even worse of an idea than the balloon thing. Those drones can stay in the air for at most 15 minutes. This means that you have to have someone constantly rotating the dron…

    When you do a server side upgrade you are essentially doing an upgrade on behalf of every person who uses your product and it's sometimes difficult to roll-back. This is a really g…

    I really wish a reality show would focus on SpaceX and take us along for the ride so to speak. One way to really get kids excited about science again is bring things like this to t…
