Key points:

* Spoil your users like you're their grandparent.

Wouldn't really recommend this article, read this article by PG instead: http://paulgraham.com/ds.html ("Do Things that Don't Scale"). The PG article is a lot longer and has more substance.

I regret taking the time to unblock them in uBlock; had to unblock 3 domains just to get anything but a blank page, and usually it's just the one domain.

Thanks for the link to PG, so interesting. The original post is a blank page for me too (Opera and AdBlock on Android).

sidebar - Twitter really doesn't like that ' in the url. I'm having trouble posting this on twitter.

Even the sharing buttons at the bottom of the page don't work with it. http://www.ghacklabs.com/#!Doing-things-that-don%E2%80%99t-s... worked for me though.
