Wow, I'm taking notes on the slide design. Looking forward to the video.

The example wasn't an interview question. It seems like a perfectly normal question you'd ask a fellow developer in the course of working on a project.
Every time you ask a question you're making assumptions about prior experience.
Move somewhere where you can find people that match your goals.
EDIT: Paul Graham has written about specifically this.
Unless your social life is at a deeper level than simply putting food in your mouth around certain people. Either way, I don't think many people would _replace_ food with Soylent so much as they would drink it instead of eating some meals. I'd love to just drink a glass of liquid instead of preparing and eating a lunch.
Care to back that up with any real data instead of baseless consumer speculation relying on time travel?
Many of GoDaddy's competitors. I don't have, and have never had, such complaints about Hover, Gandi, Digital Ocean, Dreamhost, or any number of other domain/hosting companies.
My trust in them as a company is gone so far that excluding some truly revolutionary changes I'll never touch one of their services again.
A short list of reasons I refuse to use GoDaddy and actively encourage people to get away from them:
* Sexist advertising.
* The founder has repeatedly gone to Africa to kill elephants.
* They actively supported SOPA
* The founder expressed support for torture in Guantanamo Bay
* The customer support is a nightmare at best
* Hosting is inconsistent, slow, and of general poor quality.
* Constantly trying to upsell you the customer
* Godaddy mocks developers in its advertising
It certainly can, anyone is more than welcome to pay for something done by open source software available for free.
>Surely if you're a business of any merit
Just because you're a business doesn't mean you should pay for things that you can do cheaper.
The point is that a decent web developer could recreate that form in 20 minutes with jquery.payment and a little bit of CSS, so why should you pay $300 for the same thing?
On a personal note, am I the only one that generally prefers a mail client? The ability to combine all my emails (work, gmail, @mydomain, etc) into one unified inbox is why I prefer it.
I don't think that's true. I think that auto manufacturers don't want to accept that millennials don't associate cars with freedom, independence, maturity, and sex in the same way that cars were viewed by previous generations.
At most they're a way to get from point A to B for most millennials, at worst (if you're a car maker) they're viewed as dirty machines that the world would be better without.
That's the single thing holding me back. If I could have photoshop and lightroom on linux I'd switch in a heartbeat. Until then OS X will probably remain my main desktop.
They don't add anything to the discussion and it's redundant after you upvote.
Thanks! :)
