Baligu: July 2012
http://baligu.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 14, 2012. Do you know anyone who? In the business world, the question "do you know anyone who." must get asked thousands of times a day. Do you know anyone who. can program? Would be interested in investing? Would be a good fit for this position? Is looking for a job and has this particular skill and background? But most of the time, when it's used in that way, the sentiment comes bundled with "well if you aren't, do you know someone who might be that you'd recommend? Not only can I not re...

Sunday, May 24, 2009. Recent Web Browsing Learnings. I was lamenting the fact that browsing the web is not very productive to a friend and she suggested I summarize my learnings in written form, possibly posting such a composition to my blog. I decided I'll give that a try by looking through my browser history. Stopping a "fixey" bike requires using the back tire as a skid break. Having a laser-focused purpose can produce incredible results. It's hard to open up old file formats. Thursday, May 21, 2009.

Baligu: Craigslist now asks for exclusive license when posting
http://baligu.blogspot.com/2012/08/i-dont-remember-seeing-this-before-at.html
Wednesday, August 1, 2012. Craigslist now asks for exclusive license when posting. I don't remember seeing this before at the bottom of the Craigslist posting form. I'm guessing this is the result of the Padmapper debacle? Clicking "Continue" confirms that craigslist is the exclusive licensee. For comparison, here's Yelp's language:.

Baligu: Code components not features
http://baligu.blogspot.com/2011/07/code-components-not-features.html
Thursday, July 7, 2011. Code components not features. A few days ago, I asked one of the "grey hairs" (experienced people) at my startup:. Is it better to have engineers coding features or components? Should they work on a vertical slice, a feature, that cuts through many layers in the technical stack? Or instead, should they focus on one component in one layer of the stack? I wasn't sure of the best answer, but the experienced-one recommended a one-engineer-per-feature approach. A piece of code that is ...

Thursday, August 25, 2011. My one question for Steve Jobs in 2001. I’ll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I’ll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I’m not there, but I’ll always come back. [Playboy, Feb. 1, 1985]. Steve's response, a refreshing "If you're interested in that, you're probably at the wrong company."). I could be filling in false details, but I remember Steve t...

Sunday, May 8, 2011. Kings, Addresses, and Facebook -or- Why We Don't Need Phone Numbers Anymore. We've been using addresses to send messages for a long time but Facebook has made them obsolete. Our "identity" is our new address. We don't need e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or IM handles anymore but address books, strangely, might still be useful. Finally, jump to current day. Facebook comes along and makes the old new again. Let's assume for a moment that Facebook reaches its goal of making ev...Yes, ...
