Wow, what a great opportunity here! You have highlighted the hard chunk of your customer conversation, omitting most of what led up to it. A very productive way of dealing with this is to dig out of i…

Lenovo's service and support is superb. I have had screen repairs from both Lenovo and Apple this year, and Lenovo completely impressed me with their speed, courtesy, and follow through-- they sent a …

BDD is great, in my opinion, especially for working on larger projects with longer goals. For example we're using BDD on a multi-million-dollar multi-year project with dozens of stakeholders and progr…

Google's smart about this: the Nexus 4 proves that a solid, capable, up to date Android phone sells well; this shows the way for all the Android ecosystem partners.

We used a payment escrow for a project and it went perfectly. The project had a clear deliverable and a clear way to verify success, which made it especially easy.

We use deliverables, milestones, a work breakdown structure (WBS), and statement of work (SOW) contract. These describe the scope, schedule, cost, payment agreement, refund policy, etc. http://en.wik…

Great idea. I'm often coding at 5 a.m. and that time is magically good for flow. Have you investigated the history of "second sleep" for clues? Also try looking at polyphasic sleep, software like RedS…

UX stands for User Experience, yet that slide deck seems to be missing an emphasis on the user. The PayPal team could learn a lot by getting outside of the building to help actual users. Discussion bo…

Yes, we're all constantly struggling with email because mail clients aren't built for triage or tracking. Mail Pilot changes this. I do everything I can to use dedicated task tools like Asana, Basecam…

Right. In Mail Pilot, one of the best features is to mark an email as "Complete/Incomplete". This lets you quickly read an email and still track that you want to return to it later because you want to…

Mail Pilot is excellent. I helped fund it as one of many people on Kickastarter, and I'm so pleased with Alex and Josh. The fundamental insight is that mail is essentially an inbound task list, and to…

Pay it forward: I'll hire you for a half-day of work to help you. When you get on your feet, do your best to help the next person. Also look at the Hacker News "Freelancers Wanted" postings. I'm maili…

Twitter is still supporting the users; Twitter waited until the last possible day to turn in the records and in addition has protected the tweets from being used until after an appeal process.

Yes. :) I'm using it now, and it feels better to me than Java and C/C++. The language is cleaner and the toolchain is very smooth. The new Go Revel framework (by HN user robfig) looks especially promi…

Commas can be valid and our servers manage them correctly.

comment
But your way, if the user makes a typo like "foo@@bar,com" then he will expect to receive an email but wont. Better UX in my opinion is to do validation before sending, both client-side and server-sid…

Yes exactly. We validate client side using typical JavaScript, and we also validate server side. In our case, accounts may be created by third-party apps using REST JSON APIs, so we want to let the th…

Hahah yes you're correct. We do client-side auto-suggest on email validation, so we can ask "Did you mean to type grandma@aol.com"? We have seen a real email address without any dot, and it routes suc…

You've got it backwards-- the use case is to catch things like "grandma@aol" and "foo@@bar,com". If we just check for "@" then we'd send email into the void. Instead, we check for more specifics, and …
