>Snapchat launches a fantastic re-design.

so? how does this affect your product?

>Facebook changes its newsfeed algorithm with significant implications for marketing agencies and small businesses.
Facebook replaces its complete Android SDK with a new API

yeah, that sucks.

>Apple releases a completely new programming language.

so? you don't have to use it.

>Apple releases new versions of iOS and OS X.

if your app works on Mavericks, it works on Yosemite. if it works on iOS7, it works on iOS8

>Google brings Android to TV and your wrist.

You don't have to integrate with it.

>They release a brand-new Android version.

same comment as the apple OS releases

>A new cross-platform design language.

You don't have to use it. Your product already has a design, and a brand. consistency is important. Your users are probably even more afraid of change than you are. Don't inflict google's new design on them unless they're begging for it.

>They replace the Android VM.

your app probably already works with it. most do.

>Notifications change how they work.

no they didn't. they added new features, but your old notifications still work like they did yesterday.

>This. And that. And this. And that.

Build your product, make it as good as it can be, and build what your customers are actually asking for. Stop caring about all that crap the tech blogs are posting, and focus on what your customers are asking for. You don't have to react to everything that theverge reports on, 90% of it goes away after a couple months or has a similarly small effect on the industry.
You seem to be at the whim of fickle web APIs, that's no way to go if you're in it for the long haul. Web tech moves very fast because it's just so easy to iterate and deliver the latest version to your users - and why waste time being backwards compatible when people put up with you regardless?

You have to decide whether you want to pursue these ever-changing trends and be a middleman between API services and users, or take charge of your fate and develop your own meaningful technology (that others in turn will use).

While not with jQuery.hashcash.io plugin, but with direct use of API you can make it transparent for use to calculate it in background after form focus event for example. I am working on complete API documentation so third-party widget could be created.
Feedback: your snoozing feature is confusing because it overlaps with your reminders. Should I use reminder or snooze?
You know how I do it? I take really long vacations. I've taken off months at a time before. It's mentally stressful but I won't leave. I've been down that path before and it always calls me back. It's the greatest job in the world, it just takes a lot of dedication.

You sound like you might be suffering information overload also. Managing that is key to sticking around. You're only one man/woman after all. Just take it easy. Do your best, but remember it's a marathon.
Betteridge's law definitely applies here.

e: Strange that my post would get net downvotes in addition to its parent post which it obviously very much disagrees with. Almost as though a person would downvote a post, whose meaning depends entirely on what another thing means (Betteridge's law in this case), without knowing what that thing means? Or perhaps without reading carefully enough to know what the fuck my post is even saying?

(Seriously, to whoever downvoted me: if you think I'm in agreement with aashishkoirala, go outside or grab a coffee or take a nap or something - you're not thinking clearly.)
If this is an internal services call, then I am not sure what is the value of having HTTP authentication. Personally, I would setup X509 certificates on both client and server; and then just use those for the authentication. Plus IP restriction if you are hosting in the cloud.
Good points. Each product on Assembly has a Core Team, which takes the lead on vision, quality, etc.

The Assembly Getting Started page (https://assemblymade.com/getting-started) covers a lot of this. Here are some relevant bits from that page:

Collaboration

Assembly apps are built by everyone, and like successful open source products, each app also has a Core Team of contributors. The Core Team influences the vision of the app and the standards for quality, and determines which contributions are accepted. It consists of the most active and respected contributors on the app. The Core Team may comprise the original creator, Assembly staff members, and members of the community who help make the product a reality (that’s you!).

Some people work on Assembly projects for just few hours a month. Some put in 40 hours a week. It’s up to you to work on what you want, when you want, where you want. The best part is that if you step away, the project keeps moving forward.

Ownership

The ownership of an Assembly product is distributed through App Coins. App Coins can be earned primarily by contributing to a product (design, code, copy, etc.). You can also receive “tips” in the form of App Coins when you provide insight, advice – or simply make someone laugh.

When an app launches and starts earning money, the profits are split each month among everyone who helped build it – based on the percentage of ownership each person has.

While the emphasis is on collaborating to create apps with sustainable earnings over the long term, people also occasionally ask about acquisitions. The answer is, if a company offers to acquire an Assembly product and the product’s core team decides to accept the offer, that income would be distributed (after expenses are paid) based on App Coin ownership, just like any other revenue.
I think some people in this thread are being a bit eager about change-for-its-own-sake. But change isn't in itself progress, it isn't in itself betterment. It might as well be a distraction or a regression.

I see a reason to celebrate novel concepts and technologies, and incremental improvements. I don't see a reason to celebrate yet another technology with 90% of the power of the previous technology, only 50% of the problems of the previous tech, but with a whole slew of problems that that other technology from 7 years ago brought up and that the previous technology fixed. And with a packaging that is similar enough to not be challenging, yet different enough to have to make a concentrated, droning effort in order to iron out any misunderstandings or surprising behaviour.

This is going to sound patronizing but it's not[1], but if consumer/mobile dev moves too fast the OP should consider doing enterprise development.

Lots of enterprises embrace forward thinking architectures but don't necessarily churn languages/frameworks/platforms too frequently.

[1]My day job is enterprise development.
as a side note (and recent grad), we actually started working several months prior to the 9 week on site curriculum. We had 12 weeks of organized curriculum at home and some prep for that. I feel that by the time you arrive on site, you already feel a little comfortable with procedural ruby, javascript, html & css.

The real hard work and long hours do happen while on site though.
One way to start is to have employees you can trust. And delegate tasks to them. If they are worth your time as employees, they will take initiative to do the things you can't or don't think of. If you find people who are willing to believe in your dream, you can let them do some of the heavy lifting.

You can't be a one-man shop that can stay abreast of every new and emerging trend in the industry. There just isn't the time in the day. There are like two dozen people on earth who can actually be up on all of the latest stuff all on their own. And not being one is not a bad thing.
Note that the Gear has a heart rate monitor, while the G does not. I think I will choose the LG for the aesthetics, though.
Right. This "move quickly and break stuff" can work, barely, in a single organisation. Once you have inter-organisation dependencies which constantly break, and is the current situation, you rapidly head towards an unproductive tarpit.

This is one of my stock objections to package management "solutions" such as Maven. By reducing the friction for change on the part of implementers it pushes the burden on to consumers of APIs to adapt. "Just update your package - it takes two seconds" is the eternal lie of such systems. Package managers by themselves aren't bad, but the resulting mindset is.
How does this affect the TSA at the border when they want to inspect the contents of your laptop or cell phone?
As someone who literally started developing for Android about 3 weeks ago, I also share this sentiment. Android Studio (and a pet plugin project a couple old coworkers are working on that makes Maven look downright dumb) and Gradle have been a godsend in getting me up to speed in Android development. I tried Eclipse once in the past to port an old app and absolutely hated everything about it - which I naively ascribed towards the entire Android dev ecosystem as well back then.

I'm hoping for some more stable AS releases and a plan for a 1.0.0 soon.
Doesn't a cookbook defeat the purpose of soylent?
The 20-80 rule is great to manage the existing situation. I believe ever so often we should look up and see what's ahead of us and adapt which requires to go beyond what existing customers are asking.
Perhaps support regex search? Russ Cox did a write up of how he implemented regex search for Google Code, back when that was a thing.
Focus and time management.

Regardless of whether you're an engineer, founder, sales/account exec, or any other role, if you can't allocate time to important tasks, work them hard and then break away when other things come up (including time away for lunch or to take a thinking walk) then you won't be working at a top-level.

This would be more of a testament to poor hiring practices, interviewing processes and company culture than the fault of any boot camp grad.
Using haskell on Hello World Open 2014
Sometimes you do have to shut your eyes to the demands and the opportunities. Or at least be more selective in which to follow and fulfill. I assume you have people that depend on you, employees, a family. What good are you doing them if you spend all of your time pivoting, chasing the latest WHATEVER...and it causes you to miss the RIGHT opportunity...or you don't fulfill the RIGHT demands and your customers abandon your brand?

Use a filter. Figure out what is hot and burning today, and focus on that. Demands first, opportunities seconds, because honestly, you don't time or capital to waste on an 'opportunity' while any important demand waits in 'your' inbox. So start with the demands. Address the ones that come from the segment with the highest ROI. Focus only on things you hear from a 'reasonable' chunk of that segment. No one offs. No feature that one person demands, only things that can score you points with (almost) every customer in that bracket. Plan out that work. That will tell you how long you have before you can afford to move on an opportunity.

If you have good cash flow, consider hiring a person or two to chase some opportunities while your team remains focused. Or use the money wisely, help your team by giving them more resources, and shorten the cycle time before you can afford to engage in speculation.

Speculating about every change, technology, and up and coming sounds like its taking your attention away from where it needs to be. In my humble opinion, that is on the people paying your paycheck, your customers.
My thought is this. It's an early adopter device. Early cell phones were bricks, portable computers were suitcases, both seem to have caught on pretty well despite early release form factor issues. New devices push the limits of tech to hit the market then get refined. It'll happen here too.
Interesting idea, but I think it will be difficult for you to find people who can actually land jobs at those companies (and need you to help them do it).

I though of covering interview questions on my site http://www.learneroo.com , but I decided for now to focus on general learning (though there's a lot that's relevant for interviews too).
I agree that this generation of watches is a little too big for me to want to wear one. But there are plenty of men who wear non-electronic watches much bigger than these for the sake of fashion and status. Check out this NYTimes article which discusses a U-Boat watch that is 2.5 inches in diameter: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/25/fashion/mens-watches-keep-...
Honestly, given the fashion designs I've seen for many of the "higher end" watches available from department stores, this doesn't seem that large by comparison.

But personally, I stopped wearing a watch over a decade ago because I hated the feeling of wearing one and I constantly damaged them by accident (catching them on a door, etc.).
Given that a package can consist of multiple files, how do you purpose to do that? Each file in a package declares "package namegoeshere" at the top, so you would need to add a keyword to every file, or have some very confusing/weird behavior of partially unexposed/exposed packages.
Looks great! Any plans releasing this as an audiobook? I do most of my reading while walking or washing dishes these days.

That's an interesting assertion. I'm sure that someone would protest that, yes, and they might share some values with the protesters here. I think you're making the mistake of assuming that anyone who calls themselves progressive, liberal, left-wing, or a Democrat represents a monolithic bloc with uniform opinions. "Some A support X, while some A oppose X" does not demonstrate that all A are confused and inconsistent.
The only pre-requisite is that the candidate should be reasonably intelligent. Someone who is already working in a big company/school and is putting off preparation for the interviews is ideal.
Interesting ... another interpretation I read was that "The United States" is a party to the case and it's their opinion the court is talking about: The court itself is specifying no opinion on the matter.

I'd like to be in an alternate universe without the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Afghanistan is famously The Graveyard of Empires, and I wonder if we are not just staggering around with a mortal wound, with another crash coming to bring us down comprehensively. Nationalizing the ibanks instead of TARP would be a nice alternate universe, too.

This is IT world. Either you adapt or you are out. If you got overwhelmed by tech news and few required changes then this trade is not for you. I am sorry to disappoint you, but its not like you will design software and then sit on your ass for 2-3 years harvesting profits from it. Check any popular software - even ones developed by single person. They usually get a lot of updates. Why? Because thats what developer gets paid for. He get paid more than carpenter, cleaner or taxi driver. Now you know why.

I am doing game development and I hear all the time "they expect me to do this? Forget it!" - well you are getting paid for it, so move your lazy ass and do it or change the trade. Even if it requires extra work, that what is called "work ethics" - you go extra mile, you aim for best results.
sounds like your software has taken place of you in your life, should be the other way around. Put in what you can and if they cant accept that, ignore them. You cant please all of the people all of the time...
Two of my consulting clients have seen this show up in their Q2 sales to date; one is missing their Q2 revenue goal by a whopping 50%. Admittedly, they are a small business, but they have a great B2B recurring revenue model. The goal miss is driven completely by customers who had missed their own goals in Q1, and tightened their belts as a reaction.
GWT is not on Google Code anymore (well we were, but it's old code). We're at gwt.googlesource.com.

I imagine you'll want android.googlesource.com and other googlesource.com repos.

Also, ranking is really important. My usual test is to search for java.lang.String and see what comes up. If the first result isn't the String class from some version of the Java SDK, something is wrong :-)

I didn't say "payroll taxes are LIKE slavery" (which would be a comparison).

I said "payroll taxes are a FORM" of slavery. (along with being a form of theft). Just because we have been doing it and you are used to it doesn't negate this.

If one WERE to compare payroll taxes and slavery, I would say the common element is involuntary appropriation of the fruits of labor. So they are not "nothing" alike. They do share at least one very strong common trait.

If you find the phrase "slavery" inflammatory or "ridiculous" as you put it... fine. I think you are wrong, but it's irrelevant to the larger point I was making anyway.

And that point is... it is better to tax resource usage than to tax labor for a number of reasons. Justice being a primary one, and conservation and improved productivity being others. I'd love to hear your opinion on the actual point being raised if you have one.
omg yes.

We're working on making all of our features togglable. Stay tuned.
This is nicely implemented, however like for most code search engine I'm wondering what is the exact use case?

apple and google have the power to waste most of the time of most of the people capable of overthrowing them.

somehow my employers know exactly what i would be willing to waste my life like this playing their game, and then they pay me $25,000 more than that. i'm stuck, but who cares. apple and google pay my "stay busy" tax, and i don't drop the revolution at their doorsteps. win-win i guess.

To echo what others have said, I suspect what you're responding to isn't just change but churn. The social and economic incentives in place all seem to privilege revolutionary technological innovations over incremental ones, which results in a lot of shooting-for-the-moon...much of which ends up being unproductive, or counterproductive given the transition costs involved.
This is a good point. Typiucally, reminders are useful for reminding your team about a box (a deal or customer...) that needs to be looked at. Snoozed emails are just for you and remind you about a particular email.

There is clearly some overlap in use case and we're working on making that better but wanted to get out Snoozing as soon as possible.
