A really bad idea. A collection of the worst ideas on earth, curated by Justin. Laquo; Back to blog. Winning Attitude, Losing Attitude. I have a friend who has wanted to start a startup for years. Every time he comes up with an idea, he subsequently talks himself down: the market isn't big enough, the timing isn't right, he can't find a cofounder.

Here is a list of projects that could potentially replace a group of relational database shards. Some of these are much more than key-value stores, and aren’t suitable for low-latency data serving, but are interesting none-the-less. Partitioned, replicated, read-repair. Pluggable: BerkleyDB, Mysql. Erlang, Java, HTTP.

Justin Kan is writing on the Svbtle. November 25, 2013. My friends Tim Robertson and Montana Low are creating the ultimate Ruby documentation search. This is the beginnings of the product I always want when I am wearing my programmer hat: lightweight search over documentations (and soon examples, I hope) that required fewer clicks than Google to find what I need. I’m excited to see how it evolves. Check it out and tweet your feedback to @omniref. What good is experience?

Yesterday, William Deresiewicz calls the Millennial generation, those born roughly between the the end of the 70s and the mid-90s, a generation of salesmen. Emotionless, aspiring to be liked by all, because that is what will attract the most customers. No anger, no edge, no ego. But simply that maybe we should create it ourselves. Is that selling out?
