Over the course of my career in Cali and Silicon Valley, I've been fortunate to work for some top tech companies on exciting projects (all through recruiters). I'm very thankful to recruiters.

Twitter has incredible value as a tool to break realtime news and events. The problem is, it buried in a veneer of fruitless and redundant tweets that nobody wants to dig through. If they can figure out how to surface the value 'there's gold in them hills!'

I used to use Evernote back in 2012. I found the ui confusing and not very useful for my needs. I then adopted Workflowy for simple to do lists, organizing info, and that works great for my style; have not gone back to Evernote ever since.

ONLY 2 months? =) oh brother, this guy's so self important.

My Italian ex-roomates/friends (Italian 30-something entrepreneurs living here in L.A.) echo many these sentiments you write. No matter how much they love their country and families they are living (and creating) here and in New York for many of the reasons you mention above.

I scanned the headlines on Hacker News and thought this said "Getting Started with Elf" :P

I'm not a developer but is it true that while an App developer who enables Facebook Anonymous login wouldn't know their users--But FaceBook would? If so ouch.

Don't count on Apple to take a stand. Apple is no better. They along with Microsoft and Sony funded billions into Rockstar Consortium, inc which stifles innovation through the patent warchest.

If you haven't started building your audience do so before the app is finished, or even before you start building your app. Nothing worse than building a better mouse trap when there's no mice. Best of luck on all your apps.

A war with "no more bloodshed"? There's no such thing.

To quote George S. Patton, "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."

I de-activated my Facebook account a long while ago. going to reactivate to see who's still there and reach out to them with phone calls and emails. :( thanks for the reminder. Real Life.

Break on through to the other side.

I'm really sorry about your sister. Reminds me how "right now" is so important. I'm going to call my sister to say hello.

Rest in Peace Aaron

Thanks for the good article. It definitely resonates with me and I will be trying to develop some habits in the next 30 days (every day). I am certainly not an absolute beginner (I know some html and css)but I am not a programmer at all and your article gives me some food for thought as I embark on learning a bit about javascript.

As "Brave New World" author Aldous Huxley said of the human condition before his death "..try to be a little kinder"

I actually like their team page. I think it's well done overall Funny, the one issue that bothers me about it is how their social media buttons column along the far left edge are intentionally placed partially cropped off the page. Looks like the page width doesn't fit in the browser even though its intentional in there design. Looks fine when you hover over but otherwise..

On a different note I think this is a clever team page that brings levity and keeps you on the page longer: hover over the avatar photos http://www.walltowall.com/3/about
