I have a lot of the classics on my list, but a new one that I've found extremely growth spurring was "Ego is the Enemy" by Ryan Holiday. I never really considered myself an egotists; confident perhaps, but something I never struggled with. This book showed me that I indeed did have more ego than necessary and gave me some really good guidance on how to live a better, happier, and more fulfilled life. Really something for a book I didn't even know I needed.

Sorry if anyone is seeing this for the second time today. I deleted the original post due to a problem with the link. Fixed now though.

I just got the same

That looks fun :)

When in the middle of long refactorings, I'm notoriously terrible at going back and removing deprecated code. So, I made a gem that allows me to mark somewhere in the code to self destruct on a particular date. Prior to that date, you will see warnings in your test suite letting you know when and why the self destruct mechanism is there. After the date, it will start throwing exceptions in your test environment to basically self destruct the build. So far, it's been a great incentive/reminder to go back and clean up after myself. permalink

Bah, sorry about that. I copied it out of the chrome extension that I use to promote books on my blog out of habit. My bad. Won't happen again.

Supposedly, The Obstacle is the Way is in the vein. I haven't read it yet; it's on my list this month though. Supposedly a fairly good read though. It's written by a big PR guy though so who knows.

Side note. I use to read a meditation or two every morning as part of my morning routine. I've fallen out of the habit but am going to start again. There's some really great thoughts in here.

This has become my preferred translation. It's a great modern translation and uses very approachable language. To me it reads much more like a journal than the other available translations.

The _really_ hard way. Bad Gateway.

* The Nerdist (comedy, but about half of the episodes have success stories so it kind of falls under entrepreneurship)

* The Tim Ferris Show

* The Ruby Rogues

* Functional Geekery

* The Smart Passive Income Podcast

* The Nathan Barry Show (very new)

* Mostly Erlang

I've recently been reading meditations (and carrying it around in my bag always at the ready). Very good book and I highly recommend writing your own meditations as well.

Great posts. Thanks for sharing them. Will definitely keep all of what you said in mind.

Good stuff. Been in this position a few times and I feel for you. Glad you're in a better place. One piece of advice, if you can take a little time off between gigs, I would do it. Keep spending time doing things you want to do before jumping in with another company. Also, be picky about your next job. Now that you have some experience under your belt, you will have some options.

Yeah, I'm a pretty terrible copywriter. Let me see if I can make it more clear on the site. Thanks for the input.

Thanks!

Definitely want to let them leverage the storage eventually, including contact sheets, psd storage, etc. Starting with just the basics for now to see where it goes.

Very much inspired by it. Wish I could find the post actually. I had some services running for my wife's photography business, but nothing that could really be released in any way. Seeing that other post though made me start taking the steps to turn it into a SaaS.

Right now it's photo centric just to make sure we get that experience down. Eventually I could see it move to other areas though. My wife's a photographer and I saw a need for this kind of service that was focused on photographers. There's lots of other photo backup, but the only ones that do raw files are more syncs than anything. She needed a place to persist images she was done with in a cheap way.

Mobile site is useless.

Looks like all their non "www" subdomain respond connection refused or gateway timeout.

All the breath & pops in the microphone is really annoying. You should re-record the audio using a pop filter or something?

Nice! Greatly resembles Stripe, which imo is a good thing. Look forward to using this next time I need ACH on a project.

Great job. Thanks for the tip on http://fiverr.com. Great voiceover is a huge plus.

Very cool! It's interesting how much mine changes when I am logged in and can see all the private repositories I've contributed to at work.

This is really cool. Definitely want to implement someone like this with my teams.

+1 on the wall of text. Get some images in there. A nice logo may go a long way towards sprucing it up. I'd also try to customize the look a bit more. Create an identity by making it look less "stock" bootstrap.
