Instead, let's start with a killer "elevator pitch!" Joel will be blogging about the elevator pitch approach to naming, but to get you started:
The Elevator Pitch
This isn't as easy as it sounds. Imagine the user who will never read you...
I'm looking for a recipe for an Italian cookie that I remember having as a child. Are there any good sites around that I can describe what I remember and have any chance in hell of someone helping me? Thanks!
EDIT: OK, here's what I'm looking for. The cookie is shaped like a gnocchi or cavate...
We have a user flooding http://boardgames.stackexchange.com/ (in private beta now). He is posting so many questions, all formulaic questions about specific poker strategies, that I have run out of close votes, flags, and downvotes for the day. I have warned him, and opened a thread on the meta si...
Ah. No, actually I didn't, but that's probably because since chat appeared I spend 90% of my StackOveflow time on here instead of answering questions XD
I know this question sounds subjective, and if I were arguing Mac vs PC, it would be, but I think in this context it is not. (I just had a frustrating argument about this and I want to clarify the following issues with logical coherent arguments.)
How do you justify the high cost of Apple produ...
@Moshe You're calling me, a Windows user, right with that title, now I feel offended and feel the URGE to tell you how I'm not a fanboi just because I use Windows.
@Moshe No, but from the point of view of a StackExchange User, it's a bad question, since it's argumentative and subjective and doesn't fit the SE model
If this had happened only once or twice, then fine. But it's a pattern with you, which means you're either unable or unwilling to change. So regardless of whether you're a low-grade troll, you're getting real close to my personal "ignored" list.
The OP asked how to do something for an attribute, but what he really wanted was for multiple attributes. So my answer was wrong, even though... it wasn't.
> although you see me as a celebrity, a member of the cultural elite, a kind of demigod, I was actually a student here once much like you. I came here in the fall of 1981 and lived in Holworthy. I was, without exaggeration, the ugliest picture in the Freshman Face book.
> When Harvard asked me for a picture the previous summer, I thought it was just for their records, so I literally jogged in the August heat to a passport photo office and sat for a morgue photo. To make matters worse, when the Face Book came out they put my picture next to Catherine Oxenberg, a stunning blonde actress who was accepted to the class of '85 but decided to defer admission so she could join the cast of "Dynasty."
> My photo would have looked bad on any page, but next to Catherine Oxenberg, I looked like a mackerel that had been in a car accident. You see, in those days I was six feet four inches tall and I weighed 150 pounds. Recently, I had some structural engineers run those numbers into a computer model and, according to the computer, I collapsed in 1987, killing hundreds in Taiwan.
@drachenstern To be fair, when upgrading to the screens I have now I didn't realize just how much bigger it was (though I don't have a 23", no way I'd get three of those on my desk).
@TimStone you seem to have better searchfu than me. fogbugz and Community Wiki ... any meta or SO posts on it?
@room, general question, since SO emp's sometimes lurk here: what do you think the portability between fogbugz and SE is? Reckon the code for CW stuff could be backported in any way to fogbugz? I know Joel is heavy in both sites, albeit they're not the same sites
well the email/crm part I don't think FB is a good fit, but that depends on how you use it. I'm pretty sure the CRM part wouldn't work with FB. I could be wrong however.
