daemonl··on Data from a responsive redesign
I hope that you are quite typical, otherwise I've wasted quite a lot of time on mobile sites. - Well, wasted in terms of profit, but I suppose even then it's better to give the customers a better experience.
daemonl··on Data from a responsive redesign
That's quite useful to know.

I theorise that the mobile transactions would just move to desktop if the users can't use it on their phone.

Have you got enough data to check that theory out?

daemonl··on Forcing myself to learn RoR
Shoes looks fun! My to-learn list just grew heaps.
daemonl··on Forcing myself to learn RoR
That's good advice.

Not the CV, couldn't give a rats, I build every project in the language I think it should be built in, but basically because some people I respect say it's cool, and I'll never know if I don't learn it.

I'm not so keen on the meetup scene in Melbourne, but I suppose that's another thing to try.

daemonl··on Forcing myself to learn RoR
Hm. Ok. I will. I don't even know what 'purely functional' looks like. That sounds like a much bigger and less boring stretch. Thanks!

Now that's something I can get excited about! How did I manage to forget (again) that the language can and does exist outside of the framework.

I've got a Raspberry PI... I can totally make something rubyish on it.

daemonl··on You will make a better product if you ignore user feedback (sometimes)
Nice post! I am pretty sure that was the downfall of one a startup I hacked for. Then they went the complete other way and didn't care about their customers at all. Guess how that went?

You're totally right that it's a balance.

Task: Write a script exploiting the vulnerability to install Chrome (/Firefox) and set it as the default browser, thus improving the lives of the users AND developers. k,thx. :=)
