Still, I'm not sure this solves the underlying problem. People will still only see the top X apps on your site. Unless there's a higher churn rate with top apps falling off after a shorter period of time, how will buyers get to see more apps than the app store?

Doesn't #1 contribute to making it even more hit driven?

Hoverboard. 2015.

She's definitely some form of demon.

I have a chihuahua that (when left unsupervised) would kill chickens and kittens for fun.

When all its doing is breaking a neck and moving to the next one, it's hard to say that it was just hungry.

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

I'm a little skeptical of this type of happiness in Denmark. It seems to come with a feeling of giving up. Yes, things could be worse, but if they were, would you really care or try to make it better? Are you giving up on life?

"Professionalism does not mean rigid formalism. Professionalism does not mean adhering to beaurocrasy. Professionalism is honor. Professionalism is being honest with yourself and disciplined in the way you work. Professionalism is not letting fear take over."

That may be his definition but from my experience, when I hear people talking about professionalism, they're usually either using it as a way to complain about someone else or to boost their own ego. I haven't known many people to think of professionalism as defined above. Seems like more often than not, its used as leverage to argue for exactly what he says it does not mean.

Just downloaded your lite version. Well done.

I don't understand the point of this article or why I'm seeing it here.

As far as I could tell, the author got an email from a friend looking for help and instead of helping him, he decided to humiliate him on the internet.

You'll never know the opportunity before its popular because before its popular it doesn't look like an opportunity.

Time is going to pass anyway, so just do it now. "Too popular" doesn't mean there's no more value to create.

By 2015 we will have hoverboards

Depending on which file I modify, building can take 4 hours.

Do you think this is a good scenario for using print statements?

I often still find myself adding print statements and rebuilding due to the complex nature of debugging this particular (multi-process) system. For obvious reasons, rebuilding is very inefficient. Interested in any other suggestions or references you might have.

Depends on the person and timing.

I always see the recommendation to spend a huge effort on business planning, etc., up front before you start. This can often lead to giving up on the idea, though. Yeah, you might say then that the person doesn't have the passion to be successful if that is the case but alternatively, I've found that with software, simply doing it and getting something working is what really generates the motivation.

Maybe business planning is good but it doesn't necessarily need to be the first thing you do and it's not worth it if the result is that you do nothing instead.

I'd argue to just do something first.
