"I want to talk about this notion that you should always hire the very best developers" - @joestump http://buff.ly/14gxSZ5

@davidyeiser funny how obsolescence works. These things used to be indispensable!

How many of you have big stack of unused CD-Rs just sitting around?

Or a printer that's been out of ink for... years?

@charlieirish yup! ;)

@brennandunn Ohours? http://ohours.org

@patio11 @robwalling as solo-founders, do you have some sort of support group that keeps you motivated?

The problem with most "reader pays" solutions on the web:

"Ad-supported media doesn't require administration from readers" - @KarenUnland

@richedwards140 it's unreal. So much missed opportunity in the Minecraft ecosystem.

ie. how come there isn't a Mojang store for mods?!

@ttimsmith Sounds... sweet! ;)

@SDMattG glad you thought that was funny ;)

"Lazy Entrepreneur Solipsism" http://buff.ly/1eLftsk

@ttimsmith is there a difference between this and asking people to follow you on Twitter at the end of a podcast? ;)

@JamesAddison sweet! The one by @byosko? How'd you hear about it?

@beect hmmm. How's it more of a bubble than other things though?

An Internet-connected microcontroller for software developers... powered by Javascript? http://technical.io

I think my 8 year old is personally responsible for every single view on every single Minecraft video on YouTube.

@Evanish yeah, I remember reading that.

It's seems Jobs nailed marketing first.

Then years later he nailed product.

@_BMF_ I'm looking for it all! Thanks.

What's the last ebook you read that you really liked? Why?

@beect this is true.

Although... hasn't this always been the case? Don't we always evaluate on superficial things?

@Evanish that is amazing.

@amyhoy ;) I'm just being honest.

It came from an OH at a pub: "to see how influential you really were I checked your followers."

@amyhoy hahaha. This true. But that's exactly what I was thinking sbout.

@dylanized hahaha. There's a lot of millionaires who probably have bad Klout scores.

@ELLIOTTCABLE true.

@_neckbeard no Legos???? Now i really don't understand 3d printing. ;)

Be careful how you evaluate people.

There are some very powerful/wealthy/influential people with NO followers on Twitter.

@torrez interesting. But what's the incentive for readers to sign up?

(Incentive with email is more content, direct to reader)

@KarenUnland this is an interesting idea... http://torrez.org/the-reader-meter.html

But I can see there being a lot of friction: why would readers signup?

@torrez I like the idea of Tugboat in theory; but how will you deal with the friction of getting readers to sign-up?

@joestump is this better than using something like Dropbox?

@rrhoover Iron Maiden.

"Write drunk and edit... all that funny shit you thought was funny while you were drunk."

@lachygroom @jonathannorris ah, didn't know that.

@Jonflarson ah, didn't know that.

@jonathannorris ah, didn't know that.

@JessLHutton hell yeah! If it does that, then sign me up!

@kenromano huge!

@soloconsulting ;)

@tnorthcutt ;)

BTW: this (https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/367763954468413440) is a quote lifted from my new course, coming Sept 1st.

The only *practical* use for a 3D printer that I can think of is printing missing Lego pieces.

Is *that* what all the fuss is about?

@NaomiCBush the nice thing is you can try it for free (as long as you'd like).

I've found the collaboration / version really good. Like git

Every good product, website, campaign, or piece of writing should start with people in mind.

@Dana_Janssen I should have mentioned: it's free to use for as long as you want. No restrictions.

@nr I use @betterdraft just for writing, editing, collab, version control.

Once it's done, I publish on my website.

@spencerfry yeah; I used to write right in Wordpress, but I've finally got into the habit of starting with Draft.

@lchski haha, thanks man.

@evangoldin when is Lyft coming to Canada?

@patfrank developers, designers, and entrepreneurs mostly.

@allanbranch agreed. @sivers said it best: http://youtu.be/cfwwHa-7Ux8

@spencerfry hahahahahahahaha

Oh wait... sorry, I didn't read the "don't laugh" part until now.

Crazy how many people I meet who say they were inspired to write 1,000 words a day because of @nathanbarry

@spencerfry it's $3.99/month. Well worth it for the "daily word count", tools, and version control @natekontny

@Dana_Janssen $3.99/month. Well worth it for the "daily word count", collab tools, and version control @natekontny

@Jennifer_Fish thanks for sharing Jennifer!

@rrhoover thanks man. @spencerfry is working on some stuff in the HR space (and employee happiness) that gets me excited.

I've switched all of my writing to @natekontny's Draft: http://draftin.com

Invaluable. I just paid the subscription. You should too!

"It’s an obscenely good time to be a developer. Enjoy it while it lasts." - @greggyb http://buff.ly/14LFJ72

@amyhoy here's what I'm seeing.

@gavinelliott thanks for sharing!

I had a great chat with @spencerfry about how he's building his new product. http://productpeople.tv/2013/08/14/ep39-spencer-fry-part-2/

@LeylandJacob maybe... ;)

@evangoldin yeah! It had a good run at #1 on HN this morning as well.

Funny how an old post can get traction at the right time.

@chaseclemons can't wait to add it to LinkedIn!

Just got my professional profile photo back from the photographer.
