benblodgett··on Top job boards for software devs
I would add in the forrst job board as well
benblodgett··on Linear Web Design: info - design - code
Your point makes sense when talking about developing software, however the article is in reference to planning a restaurant website for a client.

Try implementing an agile strategy with a sushi restaurant owner, or for that matter an attorney, dermatologist, or chiropractor. That would be a laugh.

B2B web design services struggle with showing tangible deliverables, a waterfall approach is the best way to keep the client satisfied and scope within your spec.

The css example is not the best one - the point is separating information, design and coding resources to streamline.

The article is written by an account manager and directed towards web design agencies who juggle lots of projects. It may not make sense for freelance or smaller shops. I didn't really establish that - but its saturday :)..

benblodgett··on As hackers, can you scrutinize my analysis for a start up?
Please - I am dying for some feedback from this community on if this strategy is productive.
benblodgett··on Ask HN: Which Project Management/Issue Tracking for distributed teams?

benblodgett··on Ask HN: Which Project Management/Issue Tracking for distributed teams?
Do you think it is better to have a simple/flexible project management tool? Or are certain processes (like web development) too unique and demanding to fit under this umbrella?
benblodgett··on Show HN: HackerThings - Products for hackers
Haha same, I cannot wait to assemble the mini rocket engine.
benblodgett··on Google Drive: Is the Dropbox Party Over?
I agree, I was speculative when I read this. Google is making a push for a cloud based OS - so why would they roll out a product based on local file syncing?

Perhaps, this is a transitive product that will eventually be the foundation for Chrome OS file storage?

benblodgett··on Is Domain Name Typosquatting Worth It?
"it would produce at least 0.1 percent of Coupons.com’s traffic, or 10,000 unique visitors per month."

Amusing
