A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How his blog used to make me smile.
And I knew that if he had his chance
That he could make their code enhance
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.

But August made me shiver
With every code line I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;

Oh, something wasn't right when I wrote my first little game at age eight - I was going to figure this computer thing out quick and move along as usual. So many software-years later - sixteen of them professional, and eight of those in startups - I suppose I must admit defeat on that "quick" part. But as the next wave of programmers enter the arena, and I see them face some of the same problems (think, "Oh, man, don't do that again") and many new and different ones ("Wow, that was cool") I feel I can still do good in the world.

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

Step 1:

Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)

This is a post by Joel Spolsky. The original post is linked at the bottom.

This is such a common question here and elsewhere that I will attempt to write the world's most canonical answer to this question. Hopefully in the future when someone on answers.onstartups asks how to split up the ownership of their new company, you can simply point to this answer.

The most important principle: Fairness, and the perception of fairness, is much more valuable than owning a large stake. Almost everything that can go wrong in a startup will go wrong, and one of the biggest things that can go wrong is huge, angry, shouting matches between the founders as to who worked harder, who owns more, whose idea was it anyway, etc. That is why I would always rather split a new company 50-50 with a friend than insist on owning 60% because "it was my idea," or because "I was more experienced" or anything else. Why? Because if I split the company 60-40, the company is going to fail when we argue ourselves to death. And if you ju
