Looking for help with web or mobile software design and development? Funded vs. Bootstrapped: Theres More Than One Way to Skin a Startup. Ben, January 26, 2015. There are nice guys who finish first and there are assholes who do as well. There are successful companies that raised enough funding to buy a small nation, and there are successful companies that raised no money at all. There's more than one way to be successful.

Looking for help with web or mobile software design and development? Ben, June 11, 2013. In these moments of weakness, I've found a simple trick that snaps me out of it and helps me avoid temptation: I turn it into a personal challenge. Instead of playing internal tug-o-war, I ask myself "Am I capable of resisting this temptation? Do I have it in me? When phrased this way, the competitive side of me will always respond, "yes, if other people can do it, then I can do it.". Comments powered by Disqus.

Looking for help with web or mobile software design and development? Mapping Rails Errors in a Restkit-based iOS App. Ben, May 21, 2013. Available in the app store. Restkit's readme page has some instructions for mapping error responses, but I ran into several problems along the way, so I came up with my own setup for taking errors that come out of our back end and presenting them to a user.

Looking for help with web or mobile software design and development? Migrating Application Email Sending to a New Server. Ben, May 30, 2013. We recently moved off of dedicated hardware and onto the Rackspace Cloud. Our old servers had good spam reputation, and we didn't want to jeopardize that with the move. There are several things that you can do to help improve your reputation and deliverability, but here are a few that we did. Check the Existing Reputation of the Server's IP. Set Up an SPF Record.

Looking for help with web or mobile software design and development? The Fear of Long Term Failure. Ben, September 22, 2014. One of the great and initially counter-intuitive features of the tech/startup community is the welcome embrace of failure. Spend 6 months on a product that failed? Pivot Move on to the next thing. Work on a company for while that fails? Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose". But what happens when these year long failures turn into 5-10 years? Little by little, can ...
