In this episode, we talk about Laracon, holding a conference in New York, Snappy Concierge, experimental coding, Scribbleton, the Mac app store, the Bootstrapped.fm conference, managing product websites, and disruptive businesses.
For the conference location, how about one of the ābest places for boostrappers to liveā such as Austin, Raleigh, etc? Let people get a feel for the location.
Thatās an interesting idea.
I say give Silicon Valley the finger and hold the conference in San Francisco 
If youād like to sign-up to be notified about the details of the Bootstrapped.fm conference, you can do so on the conference page at http://conference.bootstrapped.fm

Andrey,
I empathise your pain of having to use Xcode and other not-so-nice IDEās. The main reason I donāt make iOS stuff is the pain of Xcode.
You should take a look at AppCode. For the times when I just have to do some Objective-C work, I use this because it is actually a joy to use. They charge money, albeit not too much, for an alternative to Xcode, which I think is a gutsy move.
