About your second point - there is indeed some expert knowledge during the pseudo random games (cf the "use of a little expert knowledge" bullet point), but I wanted to insist on the idea of using almost-random-games to evaluate a position, because I found it so unexpected at the time !
Favorite IDE for Python, and strong features for client-side development as well. It would be great to see them offer increased Tornado support.
Love it. Been using it for a couple years, in fact, used it today.

Lots of little features like:

http://placehold.it/940x315/b03e1f/fff

Where the size is 940 x 315, the background is #b03e1f and the foreground is #fff.

http://placehold.it/940x315/b03e1f/fff&text=foo

Same as above, but the pixel size in the image is replaced with "foo".
As a little self-promotion, there's also http://www.placeguitar.com

edit....just to link the source code in case anyone is interested https://github.com/poissonpie/Place-Guitar
These are all potential wins. However, having tried the tour and the example code, a concern is the memory usage on the client side. Even for simple examples, it's very high. Prohibitively high for mobile usage. Would you care to comment on this? Is it something that can be improved upon in future versions or is it inherent to the approach?
The bureaucracy was, for me, the result ofthe cold war. From a certain point on it bacame a self reinforcing system. While that was just fine during the cold war when money was cheap as long as it helped protect against the sowjets, and developments were less costly it urned into a nightmare when organisation (government AND industry) failed to realize when it was time to change that. Maybe bureaucracy and all that already had to much an impact by then.

I would disagree that two-factor is easier. I already do all of the above by (1) using gmail, and (2) only logging in on my own devices.

I also check my email so frequently that two-factor authorization would be a significant inefficiency, so there is certainly a cost-benefit tradeoff there.
> The very same advocates of the Keynesian approach to solving the bust are unanimously uninterested in following through with the other half of his prescription.

Who are these ghost economists? Brad DeLong? Paul Krugman? Christina Romer? Larry Summers? I can't think of a single non-right-wing economist who advocates anything close to this. If anything, the orthodox position since the 1970s has been an overwhelming preference for monetarism, originally by targeting growth in the money supply (see Friedman's "we are all Keynesians now") and then by inflation targeting once the former didn't work. Fiscal stimulus is advocated only at the lower bound, when it becomes impossible to lower interest rates further since they are already at zero. Fiscal restraint is preferred since government spending is perceived to be dangerous and people want ammunition for bad times.

And where is the hypocrisy? The last period of fiscal sanity in the US came during the Summers period under Clinton, which put the national budget in surplus and put the country well on track to eliminate the debt. The intellectual tradition which destroyed this came from supply-side Republicans economists like Mankiw who helped ram through a series of top-heavy tax cuts, expanded military spending and eventually pushed through a medicare giveaway to big pharma. So perhaps the intellectual traditional of "pandering for votes by promising favors to all" is not the one you think it is.
While I understand their concern, it is none the less quite a useful feature for testing.

Firefox warns users if they are authenticating to a site with a small message and asks them to confirm. This prevents pretty much all of the phishing attacks that people have been talking about without removing a potentially useful feature.

The Android Browser violates this if you go to a site requires auth and then links to video/audio. When the media player is passed the url, the credentials are lost and the media fails to play.

He's just a code monkey and I pay him by the hour. He should be happy I'm even paying him at all. Ungrateful shit."

env is nothing more than running it in a new shell, so slightly slower for each exec (since it starts a shell and then searches through PATH), may pick the wrong interpreter (because PATH is dependent on the user and a lot of other things outside of your control) and since this is all running on Google infrastructure they know what /usr/bin/python.

I'd love for this to be true, but I think it isn't. An internet of stuff depends on raw materials being dirt cheap. Unfortunately, during the last five years or so the price of raw materials has started to increase, not decrease, and for reasons so fundamental it's unlikely this process will end soon.

So rather than an internet of stuff the new paradigm in the making will probably have something to with scarcity. No idea what, exactly, but my bet would definitely on a future of scarcity rather than a future of abundance.

Aside from a few neat feature suggestions this blog entry is pretty vague about how to actually solve the monetization issue.

This boils down to a simple question:

Are most of your API users ahead of you, or behind you?

If you have an immature API with a smallish number of users, and you think that incompatible changes in the API will improve adoption with the vast bulk of your (not-yet-on-board) potential market, then go ahead, break the API.

If the only reason people use your API is because of its legacy -- if you think that by changing your API people will wake up from their inertial slumber and investiate your superior competitors, then don't break your API under any circumstances.

Obviously there are grey points in between, and a series of small breaking changes will be worse than occasional large breaking changes. But by and large, the success of your platform will depend on its utility, not legacy compatibility. This is why stripe and wepay will eventually conquer paypal, why python will continue to be a vibrant community, why java will eventually fade to cobol-like obscurity, and why Microsoft Windows is fundamentally doomed. It's hard to look backwards and forwards at the same time.
I completly agree with you. As long as you are not part of a passionate envirenment (they sometimes border fanatism, which is obviously bad..) you will end up one day to work with people and organizations careing less than you do. Since you care, sooner or later this will burn you out.

The lesson for me is, be prepared for the fact that it doesn't work, and get some emotional distance, even it's hard.
I lost a large bet in 2010 on being able to create a computer program capable of beating my roommate at Go. UCT was my go-to solution to this problem but my opponent was able to beat my creation on a 13x13 board since he spent every free waking moment playing Go against a commercial app on the iPhone. My UCT-based creation ended up beating me but losing against someone who trained intensively for six weeks.

Introducing the AWS Marketplace
We're so enthusiastic about the possibilities the internet offers us that we want to do everything online now, even things we're hardwired to do irl. Inane chatter in real life causes your body to release hormones that make you feel good. Inane chatter on facebook not so much. So maybe the future is indeed that we learn to take the internet for what it is: a fantastic tool for disseminating information and doing business, but nothing more. So the challenge will be to give people meaningful ways to interact with each other in real life now that the human component has been taken out of things like education and shopping.

For that to really work I'd imagine the people using your API would need to be able to monetize? So you're basically shifting the challenge of turning users into value to a 3rd party.

I don't have anything to back this up other than a gut feeling, but to pull it off I think you'd need another order of magnitude worth of users, or some data that's exceptionally compelling to 3rd party developers.

(Maybe fandalism does have this? Alot of people seem to have interesting ideas on what to do with that many bands and fans in one place)
I don't mean to be cruel, but the ideas in this post are a strong argument against feature creep.

Politely, each one of those could be their own startup. However, are these burning need concerns? Is someone currently being held back by an absence of these ideas, or are they just distractions from the core value proposition?

Depends on what you want a "peer" to be.

A peer being an Free Software server, which anybody can host: Appleseed, Diaspora, Elgg, and many more.

A peer being like a file-sharing application running on each persons computer: XMPP would be a good start, but I don't know any projects, who have built something noteworthy on top. The big problems: Friends must be able to interact with me, while I'm offline. Browser integration for "share buttons".

I start a project with a line of guitar and some info (mood, tempo, chord structure). A bassist comes to the site and drops its line of bass. Later, a drummer adds a beat. Another drummer comes and offers a different beat version. In a sense, it would be a cloud-based Babel tower on which thousands would create together.

This is just fantastic.
Yeah, the author seemed to argue "because the situation I was in while doing a job I was passionate about was unlivable, therefore pursuing any job you are passionate about will make you less happy than working some regular 9-to-5." Logical fallacy.

It's not as simple as that. If it's just Adobe WhateverIUse that breaks, sure, people will blame Adobe. But if it's Adobe WhateverIUse that breaks AND WordPerfect WhateverSomeoneElseUses and maybe also Borland SomethingSomeoneElseYetAgain uses word will get around that the new operating system "breaks things" and people will stay away from it.

> I don't want to talk about it. If I'm going on vacation, I probably need that vacation.

You probably need it. You still need to talk about it unless you are the boss - and that's not unique to the IT industry. There's other employees that might need a vacation, that might have a sick child or other things to take care off and it's just a basic fact of corporate life that it's mostly impossible that the whole company goes on vacation at the same time. So the manager must balance on who needs the vacation most, who had the first pick last time etc. So you either talk about that and maybe accept a compromise or you don't go. It's as simple as that.

> Personal time wins, and work can wait, always.

Think: Small company, important Customer who already has TV adverts on air with the release date. Project hits a roadblock no one anticipated, is a couple of days late. You can still make it if you put in extra hours, but won't make it if you prefer your personal time. Customer threatens to sue for a sum that will make the company go bust. What are you going to do? Stick to "work can wait" and look for a new job, make all your colleagues look for a new job?
