Cool TinyMCE plugin: autoresizing HTML text areas like a champ.
Hi, I'm Garry Tan. I invest in early stage technology startups as a partner with Y Combinator. Previously, I cofounded Posterous.
- I really don't like programming. I built this tool to program less so that I could just reuse code.
- PHP is about as exciting as your toothbrush. You use it every day, it does the job, it is a simple tool, so what? Who would want to read about toothbrushes?
- I was really, really bad at writing parsers. I still am really bad at writing parsers. We have things like protected properties. We have abstract methods. We have all this stuff that your computer science teacher told you you should be using. I don't care about this crap at all.
- There are people who actually like programming. I don't understand why they like programming.
- I'm not a real programmer. I throw together things until it works then I move on. The real programmers will say "yeah it works but you're leaking memory everywhere. Perhaps we should fix that." I'll just restart apache every 10 requests.

This is useful if you ever want to just reset your gems and clean them up. Or if you upgrade to Snow Leopard and want to make sure all your native gems are in decent shape (since Snow Leopard is 64-bit).
