namedb — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:44:18 +0000

Busted my stack!

Dalibor Nasevic had the fix…

my settings: stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240

> ulimit -s 51200

my settings: stack size (kbytes, -s) 51200

And all my stack busting issues are resolved

The Dark Side of Customer Development and Lean Startups : Coconut Headsets

namedb — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:38:00 +0000

But rather than raise a bunch of money and waste it on something that we was unproven, we chose to launch with the smallest possible feature set and just see what happened. The results were awesome.

In 6 weeks we signed up over 200 paying customers, were featured on several popular blogs, and had a ton of great feedback and ideas from our users. It worked just like Steve Blank said it would. But as time has progressed and we have continued to sign up users at a faster rate than we anticipated, we have struggled to keep up. Much of the struggle is because of the way the customer development process works, and the dark side that no one talks about.

One of my favorite habits of journalists is that they refuse to state an opinion. Instead, they find a source to say whatever it is they want said and then quote them. And when I say “favorite,” what I really mean is that I hate it.

Interesting, shows a few examples of people that do not review their credit card statements and how Webloyalty auto-charges on consumers credit cards via an obfuscated, permission based, authorization (the cc info has already been collected from another site).

State of Ruby VMs: Ruby Renaissance – igvita.com

Ruby is commonly associated with the frameworks (Rails, RSpec, and many others) that it enabled, but it is much more then that. The same ideology and design principles that popularized the language at the start are also the reason why it is being currently ported to a variety of alternative platforms: JVM, Objective-C, Smalltalk VM and Microsoft’s DLR. Technical details aside, few will disagree that Matz’s focus on “how we feel while programming” and the objective of “making the programmer happy” has resonated with the larger community.
