This one uses a "Spatial" interface and has worked well enough with a little bit of tuning.

Using an interface is not good for performance.

On: Ask HN: How do you track issues, todos, features?

//TODO: fix this thing below here

Been mulling around making a vim plugin like vim-flake to put the todos into the quickfix window on :w

[logn → agentargo]

I use this feature in Eclipse. A GitHub plugin would also be cool (i.e., open an issue when a new todo appears; close it when it's removed).

This is my thought as well. It seems like a perfectly feasible solution to me, but I might be speaking out of the naivete mentioned in the article.

1. I most definitely agree and was the approach I took to my professor when I met with him, but he needs a solid idea to start with to make sure that we don't do five half-assed things throughout the semester and end up with nothing to show

2. The Sponsor organization (my team) gets all the rights to the products as is described in the proposal documentation "The sponsoring organization retains the rights to the resulting software. Also, sponsors may require students to sign non-disclosure agreements, as long as the agreements"

Nope, this is from the proposal disclosure "The sponsoring organization retains the rights to the resulting software. Also, sponsors may require students to sign non-disclosure agreements, as long as the agreements" And in my case, My team and I are the sponsor

I live in Boulder as well and would love to be able to check out the intern position, if that's feasible for working remotely. I wouldn't mind traveling to the HQ every couple of weeks on my dime even.

[dmor → agentargo]

On: David Heinemeier Hansson says, 'Unlearn Your MBA'

[agentargo]

This directly addresses an internal struggle I have been having as of late. Pursue an MBA or not?

The way I see it is that business is a fluid process and while learning the basic framework of it is beneficial, it in no way corresponds to success. Any of the classes in an MBA can be learned through books. What you are paying for is the experience and the network that you can gain at a low risk, while firmly rooting a foundation of fundamentals.
