We're currently working on this and would love to get some feedback. With just 5 min of your time you can help shape the roadmap and get early access. Survey here: http://bit.ly/15GpvsD

"Here's the goal, and whatever it takes to get there, I will do!" Good motivation for the week in a 12 min video.

Thanks! Checking it out now.

Thanks for the link, will check it out.

Exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. Thanks!

TekPub streams are mostly javascript. I'd like to see ruby devs at work. It struck me over the weekend as I was working on some 24 Pull Request projects. We should not only share our code, but our process as well.

Edit: RailsCasts are awesome, and episode 300 (http://railscasts.com/episodes/300-contributing-to-open-sour...) is a great example. Any others?

Perfect- great tip on recently accepted pull requests. Thanks!

I love this idea and have been thinking about contributing to a project. It's just the incentive I needed to go do it.

When selecting a project, should I evaluate the # of pull requests or issues to determine which projects could use the most help? For the OSS pros out there, does it matter?

Great idea, but I couldn't find pricing. Even with a free trial, I'd like to know what it's going to cost. And "as low as X per month" doesn't count.

An important devil's advocate point: what about business travel? If business travel isn't included, there's a pretty big chunk of travel spend missing in this data. And it would certainly skew the advance booking metric.

However, I could see mozio fitting well in a corporate booking tool.

Great idea and execution. Some feedback...I thought from the headline and the name overlap that salon.com was involved until a minute or two into the video.

This made me smile: Step 1. Build a dream product like Dropbox or Instagram

This makes a good combo with my other favorite Gmail trick: followup.cc

Wow...I'm impressed. I just spent a few minutes setting up an account and I was blown away by your execution on the editor alone. I haven't even tried using the other features yet. The screenshots made it look very similar to SublimeText2 and I wondered how smooth it would be. Vim mode, zen mode, even the find options were very similar. I was able to do everything I expected to do, even down to getting the theme just right.

It's the first time I thought I could use a web-based editor. That's a big deal. Well done!

This doesn't seem any different than the language wars that take place here. In fact, you could cherry pick anecdotes to support hate towards any demographic- age, hometown, music preferences, etc. An MBA proves nothing more than the candidate was interested in pursuing graduate level education.

I'm a solo technical founder. I write code, marketing copy, and proposals. I'm a product manager. And my MBA curriculum covered areas that would be a huge help to product managers.

If you auto-reject CVs with an MBA, you're missing out on a great talent pool. Perhaps you should only give "black marks" to candidates who are clueless about what it takes to manage products. But don't tie that to the MBA.

These are beautiful. I saw a Fisker Karma EVer in the wild today. These companies are doing such impressive design work on EVs. Why is there such a big gap between these works of art and the Volt? Surely there's a market for a 40-50k electric vehicle with good lines.

The last few tech conferences I've attended tried to use txt voting from mobile devices. They forgot to include the destination number on the instruction slide and just listed the voting codes. Everyone just shrugged and started scanning twitter. Voting was light and it was frustrating to wait.

This looks much better. And great design.

Nice work. This is easier to share with someone than pointing them to openssl. Also, misspelled oxygen in "feedback is my oxigen".

Loved the very first video listed (TED talk on data visualization). This list is going to have a serious impact on my free time this weekend. I'll have to ration.

Using a template to prototype a project has always been helpful for me. Otherwise, I'm cobbling together an 'ugly' MVP or showing someone mockups. Either can work, but using a clean template early on eliminates noise. It allows your audience to think about feature/function vs. "it's kinda ugly, is it going to look like this?" I can customize and make it my own, or start from scratch later.

Here are plenty more to look at for a quick start: http://themeforest.net/category/site-templates/admin-templat...

Jive also picked up Producteev http://blog.producteev.com/producteev-is-now-part-of-jive-so...

Thanks for the tip- that was pretty entertaining. Love the design and attention to detail...up arrow repeats last command. It's a refreshing departure from typical info sites and aimed well at the target.

Patrick has earned trust in the community by giving away so much valuable information. My first thought was that it's about time you sold some of this info. The reason is great: "I got tired of saying no." Good stuff, and thanks for all the free advice along the way.

Chargify user here. Love chargify, hate the merchant account fees I pay each month. For subscription SaaS products, is this now a viable alternative to a merchanct account with a recurring payment service on top?

Just looked at your timeforzen project and think it's great. Sorry it didn't get as much attention as you'd like, but one thing that HN can help you learn is how to pitch. You'll run into the same issues in the market, only it's more difficult to get traction and it brings heavier implications (not growing revenue). Use HN as a lab to learn ways to get attention. Figure out which hooks work best.

Meanwhile, I'd be disappointed if HN didn't provide good discussion/insight on the FB acquisition. This is the only community where I could tolerate the discussion. Elsewhere it's just soundbites repeated from news clips. Most often, I click the comments link before the story link. That's why I like HN and won't be going anywhere.

Hands-down the hardest part for me:

"Unfortunately, a post is never “finished” and you can always make improvements. At some point, after you’ve iterated a few times on your work, you just have to let go and post."

Any tips on getting better at letting go, or reducing friction in the process for an over-thinker?

If you look at the comments on his post announcing the book, the majority are asking for a kindle/ebook version. He implies that it was easier to get going with a printed version, but I just don't understand how that's possible. I would love to hear why.

I remember thinking they wouldn't make it in the mid-90s. I had just bought one of the pizza box PowerMacs and it felt like an expensive mistake. Now it's $14B in profit for the quarter. It took my company all of 2011 to earn in EBITDA what they earn every 3 hours.

And I'll be contributing soon. The only thing that's kept me from getting an air is the lack of an 8GB model. If it's 15", even better.

Great example of what I had in mind.
