Alternate take away: Visibility of key metrics/information (bell on expensive machine) is a strong motivator. Worthwhile when considering spending resources on things like creating informative dashboards and proper instrumentation to focus the a team on key metrics.

Thanks for the guide I just moved out here this week to start as a founding engineer in a new VC-backed startup in San Francisco. Anyone have any recommendations for finding roommates in the area?

Cool solution to the iOS 7 issue of status bar being part of the navigation bar interfering with a "hamburger"/side menu transition

Cool idea. I noticed it pulled in my star'ed repos as bookmarks will it continue to add new starred repos as octomarks or does that import only happen once?

I'm a little confused as to what I would use the octomarks bookmarklet for compared to just using the github star feature.

I think this would especially make sense considering the Lifetime value of these iOS customers. Forcing (the majority) of users to pay for upfront for the iPhone seems to drive a much better success rate on the iOS app store then we see with Android where users are just getting the best free phone their cell phone provide is giving them and may not have interest in apps. IMO, forcing potential users to recognize the value of the device before purchasing (charging more upfront), leads to better lifetime value as well as increased margin upfront.

another option is Kif (https://github.com/square/kif) an iOS integration/UI testing tool developed by Square.

we've had some good experiences thus far testing some of our newer iOS projects with Kif
