Are there areas outside of applying for jobs, biz dev partnerhips, etc.. where this works? Say you are a programmer, how any opportunities do you have to get rejected 100 times

I'm getting to the point where Gmail is so slow that its borderline unusable. I've followed all the Internet advice on how to speed things up, but to no avail. Its particularly fru…

why not just choose a different time of the year to run your program? You wouldn't have to convince the top companies to choose Shotput in Atlanta over Y Combinator and Techstars (…

More consumers are using kayak, bing/travel, and other flight aggregators. Airlines are competing on the price of tickets so they tack on extra charges at checkout. Southwest doesn…

What about Glengarry Ross? "'Cause only one thing counts in this world: get them to sign on the line which is dotted."

Its ridiculous to assume that a popular newsletter and site which had been running for 15 years would be "left with no alternative but to shut down" because one search engine won't…

Agreed...reminds me of the story of Kayak. Apparently, when Kayak launched the airlines had no affiliate plans and did not plan on paying Kayak (which they viewed as a threat). Eve…

Hi, I've noticed that my concentration tends to lapse after spending 12+ hours in front of a computer. At a startup thats a way of life so I want to find good ways to concentrate b…

Hi, I make a ton of sloppy mistakes when I code. Stuff that leaves me kicking myself when I spend 20 minutes trying to debug it. Even though I've gotten better at programming, the …
