Arrington is a bag of douche.

Well it's getting to the point where it's like a tabloid now.

Well I like where I work, but the only problem is that the old people don't believe in naps. They prefer the 9-5 mundane corporate environment despite the fact that we're a startup.

Don't tell anybody this, but I always take a 15 minute nap in our break room after lunch everyday at work. It really helps me get back to focus for the rest of the day when I'm coding.

I just graduated with a business degree, but I was hired at a startup in Boston as a Rails coder making $65K. I turned down an offer of $100k at a big corporation for obvious reasons.

I figured it's enough for me to live comfortably and continue to work on my side projects :)

I followed this company when I got word that Paul Allen was investing in the semantic web, and was very interested in AI part of it. I just signed up myself for this, and I am actually pretty disappointed in the way they present and try to connect the data together. It seems like just another wiki-style site to me.

I still think that we have a ways to go in terms of moving towards a more REST-ful and semantic web. I'd love to see a new interface that can use the information on the web in a different medium.

voted you up simply for the awesome username

Can someone explain the difference between this and http://lovdbyless.com to me?

The only other company that I know that does this is Whole Foods Stores. Each store has all the salaries listed up for all the employees to portray a completely transparent display of trust.

However, i'm not quite convinced that it works.

I don't understand, don't they do load testing and profile their own code? How hard can it be to setup a single dummy server instance on some cloud computing platform and just monitor its performance as they stress test it?

someone please take this back to reddit where it belongs

On a side note, I love how Yahoo! totally gamed their financals by laying off 2000 employees the previous month to save costs and artificially drive up their valuation.

I always use something similar to this: http://designoutpost.com

There's no limit on the amount of design revisions you can get - it's over when you're satisfied.

Can we stop blaming Jesse Spano already? It was like over a decade ago, and it wasn't her fault!

You know I used to want this keyboard a lot, but now I would happily settle for one of those super thin aluminum mac ones. This isn't quite in vogue anymore.

My favorite business card is Daniel Oceans. Clean, simple, and to the point.

I'm sorry, but Jessica Livingston is a babe.

killer user interface

Is it me, or is the site down?

I remember signing up with these guys when they first launched. To be honest I haven't used them since (due to lack of flights to certain places), but they've certainly evolved a lot since then. Congratulations are in order!

Congrats, although your logo image on the homepage is a bit distorted because you're trying to squeeze it into smaller dimensions (making the font look jagged). May want to get that cleared up.

i loved it, but methinks this belongs on digg

Thanks, this is a helpful collection of rails resources!

A bit off topic, but is nickb really PG? The whole April fools thing went over my head.

My roommate works at VistaPrint, I wouldn't recommend them to ANYBODY. They employ shady tactics such as trimming a few millimeters off of each side of the card so they could fit an extra two or three in their printing presses (this also makes your card smaller than the general business card size).

Their quality is actually really shoddy as well, and the free cards all say "print at VistaPrint" on the back of them. Not to mention the fact that they go to all lengths with retention emails after you place a single order (without having the option to opt-out) to keep people ordering more. They also charge a ton of hidden fees.

In short: If you want your business card to be a serious reflection of your business, DON'T use VistaPrint.

damn you valleywag

I'm just about to graduate from Babson with a degree in entrepreneurship. Not going to lie, it leaves me desiring more in the entrepreneurial field - they just don't teach it right here :(
