Being a CTO myself and having worked with smart people that were not as good coders, I think that in your case, the new CTO is just looking for a bad excuse to kick you out. Kicking out somebody who knows the system, product, infrastructure or code base from the beginning is generally a bad idea. Also, the line of professionalism between somebody like you (producing unstructured code without tests etc.) and genious like him is thinner than you think. He's either very arrogant or up to something. In any case, he definitely stepped over the line.
It is not true that AGPL is incompatible with responsible disclosure. Responsible disclosure timelines mean that the source code would be published long before anyone had time to complain about the source not being available.

Enforcement is hard, but AGPL is strictly stronger than GPL which doesn't evenninvitr enforcement on sharing server code.

Yes, many companies avoid AGPL software. That isn't a problem for AGPL-leaning authors, that's the point.

Incentives, my friend..

This is the situation where both the Boss and the Employee have nothing (or little to gain). It may appear weird, but indulge me. I have seen this happen over and over.

- Say employees are paid X amount a month. Now, with their current method, they can be slimey and not deliver, and then tell the boss it's complicated, Photoshop, etc.. So it's just few cards to deliver per day.

Maybe they have their macros, etc, to speed stuff up (not to the point of your software), but they only speed things up when they need to, and they slow them when they need a break. A card can take up an eternity, just because it's easier to do work on the same thing for 6 hours: You don't think much. Start the second thing for 2 hours and go home.

So a software that speeds this whole thing risks taking control out of these employees, because there would be a clear metric, a clear number of cards to expect.

It doesn't "depend" on anything anymore. They can't hustle their way around it.

Second problem is that, these employees make X amount a month, producing y cards.. With your software, they would still make that amount with 10y cards, so they have nothing to gain, really.

Sure, they're making more cards but "what's in it for me".

There is one, additional tricky part: The boss doesn't want it, and why..

The boss is paying the employee X dollars/month and the employee produces, say 10 cards/day to fill a 30 cards/day order from their clients.

With your software, the employee produces the whole 30 cards/day, and then what ? Sits there all day ?

Even for the boss, an order can wait 3 days to fill. No problem. The employee is there, he's being paid anyway, so whether it takes 1 day or 3 days is irrelevant.

The reason they're not interested is that they don't ship that many cards anyway, so the benefit of having your software is only marginal.

But maybe you can do the following.. Make your own company and gut them.

Or if you don't want to, and you're willing to force yourself upon them, you can contact their clients and ask them if they had something against your software (which ?)..

The software that makes a gazillion cards per day your contractor doesn't want to buy/licence, making you wait to get your cards..
One thing I would add to this is start writing tests from the get go. Any language you're writing in offers a lengua-franca Testing frameworks, NUnit, Gotest, RSpec, PHPUnit etc - just do it now.

Much later down the line when you start finding harder bugs you wish your basics were tested and verified. It's _priceless_ to run your test suite and make sure everything is kosher after a change. This is something that took me years to put into motion with my projects despite reading about it online.

Set up a build server on your own VPS or something like https://www.codeship.io/ and have it hook into every commit and run your test suite, if all green, deploy to production. Saves time, thus saves money.
It's a good question, but an impoverished blog post. There are no Big Ideas since the Desktop Metaphor was discredited. That's not to say design has fallen asleep. You can of course get highly trained highly competent and highly experienced design inputs to a product. But, it's more about filtering what works from what doesn't. Who is reaching for a new paradigm?

Maybe Facebook's buy of Occulus Rift will ignite an arms race in 3D design that leads to something really new, if the daunting literalism of 3D can be overcome.

That's really cool! I didn't expect that you could use Xamarin for such games.

One really awesome thing I've found is listening to game music/soundtracks whilst working.
I figured big game companies spend a lot of time designing music that is engaging and stimulating to the brain but not so stimulating that you lose all track of what you're doing and start rocking out to the music.

EA Games Soundtrack - SIMCITY is a great example of this.
Before I was listening to techno/trance/dance type stuff, but it doesn't hold my concentration whilst coding or writing documentation like many of the game sound tracks do.

Some Spotify links to game music albums I've found awesome at allowing me to stay on track:

Red Alert Sound Track: http://open.spotify.com/user/1114941712/playlist/2CAcjxhHzTN...

I've also found wearing noise cancelling earbuds/headphones even if nobody else is about really helps whilst listening to music to help me zone in. We've spent a lot of time in the office trying out different types of music and setups, with the conclusion being game music + noise cancelling earbuds/ headphones seem to be the winner.
Can you provide some examples of creative, non-cookie-cutter websites that you think work well? I agree with your general sentiment, but examples of alternative designs would be a little more actionable and inspirational imo.
I'd like to hear more. Is this open source?
I'm interested in semantic data, and how that's used. Do you have any recommended example sources to learn how to go it?
I first learned Pascal around 1978, tried Microsoft's QuickPascal around 1990, then used Turbo Pascal for work on a planetary science simulator [0] and teaching. From 1995 on I used its successor, Object Pascal and Delphi, which I thought was a really powerful combination of a good language, libraries/frameworks, and IDE. Mostly for the PC, Borland tried briefly to market to Unix systems with Kylix, but it didn't gain as much traction as they would've liked, I guess. Anders Hjelsberg [1] was inspired by Wirth's Tiny Pascal in his Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs book to work on Pascal. I think his efforts on Turbo Pascal, and Object Pascal were truly inspired.

You could also set them up with HiveMind (crudzilla.com), I am the developer. It is a cloud IDE you can install on your own.

You can get quickly started with a bunch of languages without doing any setup, which is ideal for people learning to code.

Great piece. I realize now that I'm more or less clueless about one of the things mentioned there:

> An understanding of tax laws in your country

How does one learn this? Is there a book you guys would recommend?

I think in addition to tax code, learning a bit of legal stuff is probably necessary too. And for that, grellas's guide is probably handy: http://www.grellas.com/faq_business_startup.html. Learning about accounting would be a good idea too, I'm also clueless there though - any recommendations for learning that?
You are describing TOC (Theory of Constraints)[0], which predates "The Toyota Way"/"Toyota Production Systems" by ~20 years. It is a distinctly american philosophy that Toyota imported and are a great example of their implementation (As are BMW, VW, and Mercedes).

I think toyota are unique in how they incorporate their suppliers into their own processes, basically applying TOC beyond the walls of their own factory, which as far as I'm aware is/was quite innovative.

You're off base. emanuer is talking about a culture/mindset of perfectionism. He didn't say the Japanese were perfect.
Whatever pm-suspend is. Works great for me.
That's a mischaracterisation of my comment. Toyota is about improvement/perfecting (Deming's "quality", Six Sigma).

The examples I gave are about new product categories. To repeat one of them: before Sony, there was no transistor radio. They created not just one, but several new product categories - twelve, by Christensen's count. (Unfortunately, Sony didn't create any new product categories without the founder. e.g. the playstation was a great product, but consoles were an established product category.)

That is, it's not the getting better at something, but the creation of something new to get better at (hence Christensen's interest, as the coiner of disruptive innovation).

[ BTW: I can't help but think that the post-war period in Japan somehow enabled this creation of new product categories. ]
Not really. He worked in a culture that by the sounds of it encourages individual action and initiative. It sounds like the code he shared was utility code, i.e. typically the kind of thing that would be fine to share if it were allowed since it doesn't undermine the companies position.

He was stupid. He should have made his intentions clear from the start, and he might well have simply gotten permission. As is, what he stole may well have been more akin to a using company laptop solely for personal use - certainly some kind of fraud, but probably also the kind of activity that the company might well have condoned if he'd only have asked.

Of course, without knowing what that code was and to what extent it was written on company dime, it's hard to say whether this was more like a bureaucratic oversight, a minor but intentional infraction, or a serious bit of fraud.

Regardless, it definitely sounds like Goldman really abused this guy. Keeping people in the dark about their true worth as negotiating strategy, and encouraging single-person whatever-works-goes work ethics (which may well be a form of intentional plausible deniability given the firms history) sounds to me like they treat their employees like exploitable resources.

So sure, I'd hope everyone would think twice before accepting a job offer there - because they clearly will stab you in the back when it serves them to do so.

Maybe you are solving an annoyance and not a real problem. All problems are being solved somehow. It is important problems being solved poorly that lead to successful products. This likely fails that test.
> Notable OS X still brings networking back up faster

With the notable point that it doesn't work properly on a lot of hardware, in my experience (and in the experience of others I know). The major ISP in ireland provides the same box for most connections, and my mac just will not hold a connection to them when resuming from sleep. It appears to be an issue revolving around assignment of IP addresses, but I can't reproduce it, and it doesn't happen on my work network or uni network, but every UPC network I use with the same equipment (Technicolor TC7200U) has the issue.

Something that always annoys me about these articles is the ambiguity behind what constitutes "usage". Idling in pocket (but actively connected to phone network)? Data, text, or voice calls? Voice calls using phone directly to ear, wired headset, or wireless (Bluetooth) headset?

Judging by most articles I've seen, the studies appear to be very typically limited to voice calls using the phone directly to ear, which isn't a common use case in for me.

Multiple load-balanced “webscale” servers

This is the biggest one. I have seen many, many projects held back by the idea that they need eight nines of reliability and a geodiverse HA cluster before they can even start, where a single server with a half-decent backup plan would be more than enough.

Good security from the start

You don't need that either. You absolutely should think about security but it's by no means necessary to succeed. And really, backups and letting someone else handle payments will usually make it impossible to fail catastrophically†.

So in your opinion the one who actually buys and gets the certificate from the StartSSL web site must not share it with the system administrator? Or some second-in-command?

IMO, as long as the key is only known to people who the rightful owner explicitly wanted it to possess, it is not compromised.

This is just an extreme case of a troll wanting the whole world to have the key.

It has nothing to do with Heartbleed! Posting your private key in a gist on the web is not the same as being victim to some hacking because of a OpenSSL bug.
This is very similar to the argument made here: http://montrealrampage.com/king-ludd-10-the-tedious-tyranny-...

Unsurprisingly, I agree with the conclusion, that services which happen to be delivered over networks actually have little place doing much branding at all, and users should be in a position to take more control of the look and feel. CSS etc. simply isn't enough, and simultaneously isn't accessible enough to normal people.

As it stands the incentives for design innovation are getting wiped out by a need to not offend anyone.
Sure. I was only addressing the concern of accessing source.

Friendly advice: you should think twice before posting long comments where you systematically examine racial generalizations (and dare I say it: stereotypes!) you find to be anecdotally valid.

It's this sort of "reasoning by anecdote" that, while convincing to the individuals relating them, can easily mislead others into believing your conclusions are rational.

I have experienced the opposite with my MacBook Air.

Sure, but valuation is probably the biggest one. Why aren't we seeing lower valued companies then with non-SV investors?

The whole point of Andreessen's comment is that companies would have little choice. It doesn't follow that valuation, the biggest term, would be magically exempt from this renegotiation tactic.
One of my CS professors gave us this advice about starting a company (which I think generalizes what you're describing):

Companies don't care about saving money. Even when the amount is the same, they're much more receptive to pitches that involve them making extra money.

Are you suggesting that using HTML5 Boilerplate is a bad idea? Because no, no it isn't. That is an insane assertion. The number of weird idiosyncrasies or browser specific problems that WILL come up with any web app that I've fixed by just saying "hmm, wonder if I put in HTML5 Boilerplate" are insane. It creates 0 technical debt, you will always be happy you started with it, and it is fantastic.

I do no understand the big about reset.css either but I guess I"m willing to listen? Reset.css has also been a lifesaver.

For a blog making a really important point (don't just use Angular because you've heard of it, use what gets shit done), suggesting that boilerplate creates dependancies that you will regret having seems out of place.
I think we all know that this type of article indicting designers for lack of creativity isn't something new. But I certainly can related to the author's sentiment and here's my take on it; the number of good web designers with proper design training only accounts for a small percentage of the people producing web sites.

Despite web design being a visual medium, not everybody working in the industry is a visual web designer. There are print designers struggling to make transition, there are developers doing designs out of necessity, and there are people who are learning everything from scratch. And the nature of the Web makes it's easy to lift and 'borrow' things from other people, so you will see a lot of convincingly good designs that are not necessarily produced by designers with design training.

Most web work can be copied with basic use of Photoshop, access to stock photos and portfolio sites, and some attention to details. But there is only so much you can do when you don't know how to draw, use and mix colors, lay-out types. This will contribute to sites looking the same. A trained designer has much bigger set of tools and skill-set at his or her disposal. Simply knowing how to draw well, opens up all sorts of creative possibility, but it's a skill that takes a long time to develop.

So in a nutshell, I don't think it's that designers have completely given up dreaming. It's just become harder to find great designer's work because the denominator of non-designers has grown so large.

There are other contributing factors, such as increasing number of stakeholders now driving designs in the name of semantic design, usability, accessibility, codeability and maintainability, but I'm sure others will touch on those issues.
Yes you are right, this is massive over generalization, and I am rather unhappy with my wording, unfortunately I can not edit my comment anymore. In my culture these almost „polemical statements“ are rather accepted and interpreted differently. I found especially english speaking people have a very hard time understanding my intentions. I should have known better.

Obviously there are not 129 million perfectionists, that was particularly misleading.

However I would claim that Japanese are more likely to favor and reward perfectionism than any other culture I experienced. I am only talking about a trend I may have observed.

It continuously surprises me how little programming knowledge is actually useful in this field where we call ourselves programmers.

Even if you arent building your own startup, knowing how to tradeoff big win features over engineering resources, understanding the risks of X new tool over delivering a product, being able to communicate effectively and work within a team are very typically far more important than raw programming talent, brilliant engineers will always be needed especially on big projects, but you can get a long way with a little programming talent and a lot of a common sense approach to delivering a product.
Thank you for your advice, I fully agree. I cannot edit my comment anymore, so I actually think about just deleting it.

Japan was known for making cheap low quality products much like China is now. It's only relatively recently that they moved up the quality ladder. Which suggests there culture has less to do with perfection than you might think.

If anything it's the strong Yen which is forcing their hand. They can't make a profit importing materials and making cheap products without focusing on automation.
