Have you used it? At this point, these are just opinions based on a demo and no hands on experience.

Right. An example using your own words. You wrote:

"Thank you everyone ,i really appreciate all the positive responses .i never imagined my story would be on hacker news frontpage."

It would be better had you written:

"Thank you everyone, I really appreciate all the positive responses. I never imagined my story would be on hacker news frontpage."

Also, I grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa during the apartheid years. I was lucky enough to earn an internship at Honeywell in the USA during my graduate studies, and now I live and work and have a family in the USA. Keep going, keep working, keep creating! Anything and everything is possible, the code you write has the potential to set you free, to uplift your society, to uplift humanity. Just keep going!

Minneapolis, MN - Part-time and full-time contract to hire.

Front-end and back-end.

On site in Downtown Minneapolis.

TEN7 Contact Form: http://t7.io/Hzilsw

TEN7 Interactive is a web development studio in Minneapolis -- we work with great designers to implement solid Drupal based solutions for our clients and partners. We're looking for both front-end and back-end developers: we don't care where you are in your career, whether you're still in school and want a part-time gig or internship, or whether you're a seasoned veteran contractor or freelancer, that's looking to fill hours. We'd love to find out more about you, so please fill this form out: http://t7.io/Hzilsw and we'll be in touch.

Since we're small, hiring a full-time employee is a big deal for us. We'd love for that match to be just right for us all. So, we'd love to work together a little before committing to each other permanently.

================

TEN7.com needs some work right now, in the mean time here are some of the sites we've built:

WPFunction is to Wordpress as Module is to Drupal (http://drupal.org/project/modules)

You're probably right, the market is probably quite small right now. But! I feel as though that might be changing... and quite honestly, I feel like the clients may very well be both businesses that are established and want to have more of an omni-presence, but also the more technical ones.

Well, by your definition then, "a shop that develops APIs" is the same as "a shop that writes code" is the same as "a shop that makes websites" is the same as "a shop that makes apps". Come on now! Clearly, it would be a shop that writes code. And at that, a shop that's specialized at being excellent at figuring out APIs for clients. I don't think this would be geared towards software houses, or companies with their own dev teams, I think this might be geared towards aspiring businesses who don't necessarily want to be a dominant player in the market, but would rather be more accessible to its users.

It strikes me that quite possibly one of the next channels that businesses might want to exploit are having their data available programmatically. Which is why I'm wondering whether that's one of the next market opportunities.

Sounds like what Mashery does mentioned in the thread.

Curious about how you approached that? Choose the tools based on what the client is using? Or, use the tools you are an expert in and deploy with those?

Thanks for the pointer. From what I can tell, it seems like you'd use Mashery if you were building an API for yourself, or for someone else? It seems to be more about the operations of the API that the strategy behind what methods the API should have. Right?

I just looked at in on a Win7 VirtualBox machine running IE 8 and it looked like the Litmus screenshot. I am convinced it looked bad, not surprised, but certainly sad :(

Sorry, I really screwed up with that one. Totally typo'd that one.

Sorry, I screwed up. Yes, it looks ok on OS X, that's what I'm on. Looks like it's missing on Safari but that could just be a time to load thing? Not sure: https://ten7.litmus.com/pub/adfdb99/results#saf4m-full

Just checked it myself, looks like it's missing on OS X Lion. Are you on Windows?

Oh, and in Safari there are no icons.

Looks crappy in every version of Internet Explorer, 6 through 9. Is it shocking that IE doesn't place nicely? https://ten7.litmus.com/pub/adfdb99

And if they did acquire GitHub, then I'm sure they'd make all private repos free and create even more of an incentive to use the service. And perhaps the GitHub FE would simply then come bundled with a Google Search Appliance?

Should've hired an actual UX and/or Interactive Designer to do the redesign and not leave it in the hands of us developers (again). Hope there are further improvements!

When was the last time you tried Drupal?

I thought git integration into Coda was an absolute must but after using Git Tower, command line (inevitable) and really understanding how git works (http://ftp.newartisans.com/pub/git.from.bottom.up.pdf) I've surprised myself in that I don't see git integration as important any more.

More interested in code folding. Now THAT would be sweet.

CiviCRM

I don't get why this post keeps getting up voted: it's mostly just a list of DD-WRT firmware, small percentage of the market most likely. And wouldn't that be the most likely candidate for the appropriate fix, i.e. uniquely generated Keys on each device, not preprogrammed, and a way to import your own?

Great article. So what's the fix? What should the right approach have been? Let's see a solution!

And yes, I read the blog post associated with it and didn't see a solution: http://www.devttys0.com/2010/12/breaking-ssl-on-embedded-dev...

Yea, I screwed up. What the hell was I thinking? Thanks for down voting: it's deserved.

Ahh shit, totally lame brained that.

Nice article, great calculation. There's a much simpler argument for 128 bit storage though: the observable universe has at minimum 10^79 atoms in it. Even if you could use each and every one of those atoms as a bit to store data, you'd still have more than 50 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE left in ZFS for the rest of the data. We're probably safe.

You should just become a journalist: your writing is readible, sincere, succinct and honest.

And how do they actually measure those numbers without (i) guessing; (ii) having some JS on the page, or (iii) using Voodoo Black Magic.

I think it's ridiculous to believe ANY company that claims that they can measure traffic of a site accurately without the DIRECT INVOLVEMENT of the site's owners. How are they doing it? Through the ether? Come on! Data, people. Data. Google's figured that out, maybe other companies should too.

Who do you know does $3 per user with $1M per month?

I'd also recommend Logicworks -- they helped us setup a distributed app across two different parts of the country, and it worked well. And it always helps to know a person there too.
