Essential broke my heart when they launched without the headphone jack (okay, not really, but you they did eliminate me as a customer for this version -- maybe I won't need the headphone jack for their next release).
It is a survey...so who knows how real it is, but 55.86% were negatively impacted Apple removing the headphone jack. While Apple customers don't have a choice, Android users do and we will vote with our wallets.
Dongles are never the best answer. Either bulky and akward, or tiny and lost/broken. It would take a bit less than 3cm to just add the extra chip and jack.
Forgot to add, I am a big Anti-Windows for anything. Coworker and myself have been trying to tackle the same thing for past two weeks. The hate I am having is towards how stupid is this AutoPostBack thing.
It is fairly simple: having a GitHub account and being active on StackOverflow don't appeal to the majority of developers. Those sites will capture far less than 1% (made up, but probably close) of developers making them not the best location for hiring managers to look.
IMO, if you want to find developers to hire then LinkedIn and recommendations from other developers are still the best route. Having a successful GitHub project doesn't always translate to "great team developer" as different skills are required for each. Being helpful on StackOverflow for a very specific thread doesn't always mean you are a master of your craft. Having both experience and recommendations from the industry and category being hired for is more of a "guarantee".

Yes, exactly. That's what the proposal at the OP link is aimed at: Letting experienced developers sign up to be poached, but using their affiliation with an online community as proof of their seriousness.
That's less valuable than a good GitHub repository, but the usual interview process can take it from there.
Good point. I can't remember ever paying for a specific video (or even considering donating, other than clicking an ad). I wasn't familiar with bloc.io, but that is really cool! That road is the all-in approach if I go it solo. I have some designers at my disposal: maybe one of them would help me.
I love stackexchange. They are fantastic at responding to one-off questions. My style is to build small, functional applications from launching visual studio to debug without cutting the video.
I feel you on not making every hobby a business. I also brew beer and have now given up on "starting a micro brewery" and, instead, focused on brewing really great beers that my friends and I like. Ever since doing that, I have been winning more awards and have tuned my brews to my tastes.
Given the current amount of questions that are emailed to me, maybe a model could be a private screen-sharing session where I can correct their mistakes on their computer. I would like that.
