Sure, I agree. Not all markets meet the concept of 'free'. But distrokid is competing in a market that is pretty close (helping musicians distribute music to services).

If someone can afford a product, but isn't willing to, then they should look elsewhere for the value provided by the product, or live without it. That's embedded in the definition of a marke…

I'm interested in the fact that most of the discussion has centered around the possibility of Watson and other expert systems doing what is outlined in the article, rather than the societal ramif…

A novel by Kurt Vonnegut: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_Piano_%28novel%29 (for those of us not in the know).…

I wonder who will be responsible for maintaining the streets? My guess is that will still fall on the city of Detroit (because the farm is paying taxes).

What are the three businesses you think Google has "locked up"?

Here's a chestnut from over a decade ago that spells it out in black and white: Are you Amazon or are you Ben and Jerry's? http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000…
comment
Technically, yes. You just have to know what to buy and how to price what you are selling. ("Oh, is that all?" says the broker who makes a living doing this. :) ) I had a friend who made d…

The article was pointing out how Google is moving more and more functionality from open source to closed source. So, one way to counter that would be to augment the "traditional AOSP service wit…

I read the article and kept hearing echos of the Microsoft strategy of the 90s as well. History may not repeat, but it rhymes.
comment
I think that there are two ideas worth separating in this post. 1. Having ready beer (a keg) available in a work setting can cause issues. Ready alcohol impairs judgement and blurs boundaries. 2. Hav…
comment
I would look at characteristics of the clients you like working with and see if you can find other clients like them. Are they technical? Non technical? Focused on a certain aspect of the niche? Wh…

Fire the difficult clients. That is, finish your current project as best you can and don't take on new work with them. There are a lot of good clients out there hungry for good work and working …

I prefer to walk around aimlessly, but I agree--sometimes just distracting yourself for a bit does wonders.
comment
I agree, this is great. I run a small team and the author just summed up what I try to convey to everyone on the team. I just emailed it off to everyone.
comment
Hmm... I guess I'd say half assing your way through beginner tutorials is better than doing nothing (if it is on the path to your goal). That said, flywheels are slow to start up, and you can&#x…
comment
I have a friend who talks about the flywheel model of learning. If, every day, you spend even 15 minutes towards your goal of what have you (aka, add even a little momentum to your flywheel), at the …

When I was a freelance web dev, my first client was a former colleague.

Technorati does this: http://technorati.com/search?return=sites&authority=all&q=be... It only catalogs blogs, as far as I know.…

I think that good employers want their employees to enjoy their jobs (and hence, have some 'fun'). I manage a few folks, and want them to enjoy their work. Of course, it's not all suns…
comment
I agree. I am not sure exactly what the poster was trying to tackle, but a CS degree can be overkill for a developer.
comment
I think the author had some valid points, but a better title would be "Mobile Innovation in Hardware is Over, for a while". There's still oodles and oodles of innovation to happen in s…
