Subscriber here. I think paying the $10 a month provides another incentive for me to read. I don't know if I am getting $10 worth of material to read each month, i.e. finishing about half a book every month, but it sure has increased the amount of reading I do since I started using the service.

If you feel uncomfortable with Rails, check out Sinatra[1]. It's my favorite way for prototyping an app and pushing it on Heroku.

I work at Wistia. Glad that we made it to the list of good pricing pages!

Have you explicitly entered http://www.facebook.com into the address bar in the past by any chance?
Comment · 13 years ago
My browser (Chrome) shares screen real estate between its search functionality and address bar. Therefore, if I have searched "facebook" on Google but have not explicitly typed "http://facebook.com" into the address bar, Chrome remembers the "facebook" search as I start to type it out. As a user, the next most obvious action to take is to tab-complete + enter, and voila, there goes the Google search for "facebook".

With just two tweets, DHH single-handedly convinced iA to drop the patents for Syntax Control.
Well done.

iA has decided to not pursue the patent on Syntax Control, and attributes decision to DHH.

Nice work. I wonder how this art map compares with what the guys over at http://artsy.net/.

I really disagree with this. For your first hire, a full time sysadmin who cannot work on developing the product itself is just as useless as hiring a developer who cannot ship the code.
I think what this article is trying to get at is that your fire hire should be a full-stack engineer who can also play the DevOps role when needed.

Neat idea. I would expect there to be a link to each freelancer's portfolio/personal website before ever considering clicking on "Hire Me".

That's awesome, especially for a help site. My company does the same thing with our documentations.

That's neat, but is something wrong? I get this error on your site: https://cloudup.com/cti8Egu8fQS
