Re:IOS design: a case study on Tuesday March 27, 2012 @02:25PM (#3762917)
I think it depends on individual preferences. I don't have any problems with slides. In fact i loved all your slides. It has actually inspired me to make my own slides. Its a good break from reading regular blog posts.

I think its nice of you to make a pdf available as well. This way everyone should be happy.

Re:Poll: What's Your Favorite Programming Language? on Saturday March 24, 2012 @08:01AM (#3749152)
C still remains my favorite programming language. Though compared to modern languages it has fallen way behind, still nothing beats the simplicity of C.

With less theory to learn compared to other languages, the power of C lies in the implementation only. Just few simple ayntaxes combined with terrific logic can make some really powerful applications.

Also, maybe little bit nostalgic here, but it feels good to return to C every now and then just to make some highly logical program and challenge the logical side of my brain.

Loved this article. 100 % agree with the point that the technology doesn't matter, what matters is what you do with it. Simple and evergreen advice :)
Re:Reddit vs Hacker News vs Twitter on Tuesday March 06, 2012 @03:57AM (#3670217)
My experience with HN has been much better than with Reddit. In reddit, even good posts get down ratings a lot of time.

The one thing i like about hacker news is your posts still have 1 point minimum even if others dont like it, whereas in reddit you fall down to 0 points which makes you feel discouraging sometimes.

Re:Be Successful First Thing in the Morning on Sunday March 04, 2012 @06:43AM (#3662587)
Even i find working at night very convenient. There is no one to distract you and also you get so many ideas when you think in complete silence. Some people work best in the morning , some at night . Guess everyone have their own way of working.
Re:Why you’ll always think your product is shit on Saturday March 03, 2012 @05:43AM (#3659876)
Nice article. Its true every developer knows the weakness about his product and when other users use his product he just hopes that they don't catch those weak points of his product. But still a product maker should always love and admire his product. If we won't love the things that we make how can we expect others to love it. Sorry, but I won't be the one who thinks his product is shit.
Re:How Apple's Top Secret Product Development Process Works on Wednesday February 29, 2012 @10:56AM (#3648262)
Interesting post. To develop a product in total secrecy for someone the size of apple, is really a remarkable feat. Also like their focus on design first. Thats what separate their products from others.
Re:We're not paying enough for apps on Sunday February 26, 2012 @08:33AM (#3635584)
Nice Article. It is better to have few customers and provide excellent service to them rather than having lot of customers and providing mediocre/bad service. The price point should justify the quality of the software and the support given afterwards.
