Well you made it to the top of "Ask" this time. Congrats. ;)

Looks nice and clean. Good luck!

I've been reading their primary job board for a long time, and looking at this site I realized that I do miss seeing the cities listed.

It may seem paradoxical but I did like to know at a glance where the company was located, among other reasons for the fact that it communicates the likely salary (if they're in a small city and I'm in a large one, for example).

Otherwise it looks good (if top-heavy) and it's always nice to see remote opportunities.

I know, I was gonna say: wise beyond their years.

Anyway, whatever: http://gizmodo.com/5851062/generation-x-is-sick-of-your-bull...

I'd say that about most job postings, remote or otherwise.

Except for those SF jobs, with the whiskeys and the toys and such. I need to get one of those.

My guess: now, profitability. Later, competition (and intervention).

Gracias, that was it. They appear to go up to 9 (unless the numbering scheme changed after that):

Have you already looked into other discussion boards more focused on this topic?

I'm thinking of business magazine forums (if any of those are still around, BW/Entrepreneur/Inc.-type publications), LinkedIn, franchise-related, etc., where brick-and-mortar business owners hang out. Or perhaps general answer boards like Quora, or similar.

I went looking recently because I thought there were additional articles written as a series (eight maybe?), but couldn't find them.

I didn't end up trying it, but I thought this looked good (and appears to be recently maintained):

My reflex is to say it's the opposite of whatever I am. But according to this article, I'm pretty darn good!

Maybe, but what is the effect of singing, dancing, and laughter on humans?

Not to mention building cultural bridges...

Agreed. Having a store within walking distance makes it easy and fun to go several times a week. Fresh air and exercise is a nice bonus (I don't know why more people don't take advantage of it in my neighborhood).

I agree, and wish more common sense was exercised in this area, but unfortunately there are many concepts in the community that are just adopted wholesale.

Do you have any advice for getting a (good) place without knowing anyone there, and without giving an arm to a broker?

I tracked Craigslist ads daily for all of those neighborhoods a couple of years ago when I was considering relocating, and it looked _brutal_.

(I suppose an employer or potential co-workers might be able to help, but it just seems so competitive I'm not sure what can really be done.)

Ha, was thinking about Adobe already, too. Users will rue the day.

But for the founders' benefit: hey Adobe, go look at their Kickstarter. Why don't you just acqui-hire these guys right now?

A tangent, but that brings me back to this again:

"Kickstarter cannot be used to fund websites or apps focused on e-commerce, business, and social networking."

It's a weird rule. This tool has business applications, no? (Also not, but still...)

More on topic, I'll bet these guys are going to have a wild and successful ride.

I think cross-platform support will be key, too (one of the consistent complaints about Pixelmator, as a semi-related example, is that there isn't a PC version available).

What about the Mongo dependency? I like Meteor, but that's one concern.

Can't I upvote this twice? (It's the sort of comment that makes wading through a morass of negativity worthwhile.)

Stopped not laughing when I read your comment.

Output, or "ABC": Always Be Creating (leave Coding to the geniuses, and just build stuff).

Do you think maybe it's a self-selected audience? Like these are the people that know and love you as a self-hosted product, and now you need to reach a different, more SaaSy crowd?

Pretty sure you're right, based on some other articles I read. But one consideration:

I'm kind of surprised that Kickstarter gets as much discussion in some circles as they do, because they seem to thumb their noses a bit at "us," or at least the "us" in software (hardware and other creative projects are in the clear, of course).

Disappointed to read, among other exclusions:

- "No self-help material (books, videos, etc). This includes projects that offer (or produce materials that offer) business, emotional, financial, health, medical, sex/seduction, or other self-help advice."

- "Kickstarter cannot be used to fund websites or apps focused on e-commerce, business, and social networking."

Is there any service that doesn't require installing spyware on your system?

AFAIK they all force developers to install monitoring software, and then boast about this on their marketing pages targeting employers.
