What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go wrong? World Simplest HTML5 WYSIWYG Inline Editor. August 5, 2013. I am pretty new to web/JavaScript development, and often quickly reach for Google in order to find out how to do things. After a fair bit of Googling, it seemed that there wasn’t a hope! To my surprise, as it turns out, it’s so simple, it’s almost a joke! All the tools are already available, all you need to do it tie them together with some really simple JavaScript, and it works! If you...

Barcode Hero Checks In. August 15, 2010 business. Foursquare made popular the concept of the check in, where individuals check in to locations as they travel about town, earning points and badges while they do it. It is both social networking and social gaming, and it’s fun. On this front, I’ve recently become addicted to Barcode Hero. For the iPhone, a new app from Kima Labs. And founded by a couple of friends of mine, Blake Scholl. Related literature), among many others. I’ve been dethroned in seve...

Hunter Walk did with Stewart Bonn about his time at Electronic Arts contains some tactics for experimenting and still delivering at high quality.

Why you shouldn’t hire based on experience
http://blog.jasoncrawford.org/why-you-shouldnt-hire-based-on-experience
Uncharted Territory is writing on the Svbtle. January 29, 2013. Why you shouldn’t hire based on experience. Because experience doesn’t necessarily make people better at what they do. This doesn’t mean you can’t learn from experience. It means that learning from experience is. Some people can make the same mistakes over and over again and be none the wiser for it. Discuss this post on Hacker News. Immigration is a moral issue.

Meteor Demystified

Uncharted Territory is writing on the Svbtle. June 12, 2013. In which I open the hood of the Meteor framework. And see what’s inside. I recently started a new web project, and several friends suggested I check out Meteor. A new framework for building real-time webapps. Their intro screencast. At the same time, the prospect of using Meteor for a production app would make any battle-scarred devops veteran nervous. The current version as of this writing is 0.6.3, which they call an early preview. To underst...

Immigration is a moral issue
http://blog.jasoncrawford.org/immigration-is-a-moral-issue
Uncharted Territory is writing on the Svbtle. April 24, 2013. Immigration is a moral issue. I’m glad to see many of my colleagues in the tech community promoting immigration reform (e.g., FWD.us. They point out that immigrants are often innovators and job-creators, and that immigration helps our economy. This is true and important, and it’s a good reason to loosen our draconian immigration laws. Inside our borders were a privilege to be bought or earned. Have we no rights? We should look at our immigrati...

Fighting regulation and winning
http://blog.jasoncrawford.org/entrepreneurs-vs-regulation
Uncharted Territory is writing on the Svbtle. April 6, 2013. Fighting regulation and winning. Regulation is often the enemy of the entrepreneur. It can be used by incumbents as a weapon to protect themselves from new competitors, or it can prevent consumers from taking prudent risks on new products and services. Which is why I’m fascinated by stories of entrepreneurs fighting regulation and winning. What Uber is facing incumbents trying to protect their business by wielding the club of regulation is the ...

Uncharted Territory is writing on the Svbtle. January 31, 2013. How to not micromanage. After listening politely for a short time, Herzfeld interrupted Taylor’s rambling presentation. He had followed his young associate’s theoretical research closely enough to know already the gist of his ideas. All he had was a question. How much money do you need to get it of the ground? I’d say about a million dollars or so, just to start getting organized. You’ve got it, Herzfeld said. Discuss this post on Hacker News.

Everyone seems to be releasing their holiday gift guides, so I might as well enter the fray with my own. Here are most of the books I read in the past year with recommendations/comments inline. This list is modeled on Aaron Swartz's excellent annual. Following his convention, books I thoroughly recommend are in bold. Books marked with an asterisk are as yet unfinished. Hard Landing: The Epic Contest for Power and Profits That Plunged the Airlines into Chaos. A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World.

Java, .NET, software architecture and engineering, also a little bit about management and life. Archive for March, 2010. March 31, 2010. Usually we can hear the word KPI from our managers or our bosses. At the project start-up meeting in my company we can see a lot of KPI like number of total bugs over functions points, actual effort over plan effort, earn values. Take a look at Wikipedia. Add Talents, Not Skills, to Your Team. How to work with “stupid” people. How to make change stick.
