Thousands if not tens of thousands. I'm at over 45K in iPhoto alone. Have a kid or two and your wife can get a little shutter happy.

I, for one, feel that humanity would benefit from this generation's digital presence being wiped from existence. Everyone on this planet is now dumber for having experienced it. I fully support and will tell my congressman to vote for a digital dark age.

Now get off my lawn!

I was quite surprised at how little support in browsers there was for es6 and 7. Essentially, every current and near future browser was developed against es5.

Yep! Just a little less crazy and a lot less of an asshole.

Hi Kiro. If you have a relationship with your company/boss where it is acceptable, that's awesome.

However, a lot of Corporate America frowns upon their employees doing side work. Some (un-winnable, we believe) employment agreements in the US even forbid moonlighting.

So, this was a general point to avoid the potential conflict entirely.

Author here. Yeah, I totally agree about moving up market and pushing your rate ...as an independent.

However, keep in mind the primary audience is for those starting out with freelancing while maintaining a full time job... side work.

I would have spent more time getting into details and nuance, the article was already running long. That might be a write up unto itself.

You are right though, we don't want a race to the bottom in pricing for experienced people...

This is such a great way to contrasting my younger self with my older self.

My younger self want's to adjust all those sliders.

My older self adjusted the screen DPI to 300 DPI, (where I can't see the pixels) and moved the weight slider from lighter to heavier until a phone showed up.

And all that showed was the iPhone.

I could care less about RAM, Sims, SD cards, memory, etc now. These aren't indicative of the experience. My younger self would have loved hunting down the right fit phone from the Android market. My older self? Nah. I'll go take some photos of my kids instead.

This isn't an app for causal use. It's an app specifically for places where the network is going down. Like you said, disasters, or...

- Cruise Ships (notoriously a problem keeping up with your kids)

- Stadiums

- Group camping - etc

Or any place where word can spread, "hey, get this app, it provides what we need."

I've been dying for something like this and considered developing it myself, but it's such a hard problem to do well.

I wish we could post images so you could look at a blind comparison...

I'm still trying to find out why a great company like GitHub would shamelessly copy Sublime Text 2. It's one thing to say we need to build another text editor because nothing out there gives you what you need. But to say we need another text editor and then copy Sublime... What the heck is that?

I installed it today for the first time because this was the first time I didn't need to be in a special club to use it.

I opened a directory of source that ST opens instantly. This thing took 5 seconds to open. Then when I quit the app, I get an "Editor is not responding." message. Everything feels sluggish.

This is progress people!

THANK YOU

That's not a planet... ;)

Who gives a shit as long as Stripe is still around.

If anyone sees this as anything other than him FINALLY getting canned, then I have a bridge to sell you.

This could better be said as beware of Content Providers in control of the Pipes.

Idiot! Reposted.

5600... keep it up...

It's not innovation. It's incremental at best.

Inter-app communication.

But this article was shit. If you like a stylus fine. But that is not innovation. I have 50 Treo styluses to sell you.

"I am NOT going to park more than 4 spots away from the door!"

How many times do you see people circling the parking when 20 feet away is a spot to park?

But I don't care, this story is B.S., the guy totally was trying report on his agenda and not the facts.

Define Modern.

I just upgraded from a "modern" macbook pro (2008, aftermarket SSD) to a "modern" retina macbook pro that is maxed out. IntelliJ and RubyMine fly like the wind on this new machine. The old one was painful to use IntelliJ but you could live with RubyMine performance.

Infinite scrolling? Yuck.
