Very difficult to pull off but I'd love to hear stories. Thanks

So I'm sorta a techie. I loved this site back when I graduated in college in 2007. I remember TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington said he loved this site. A lot has change over th…

I was in college when they IPOed. The founders seemed to really have a vision to be the anti-Microsoft. Stuff like 20% time, free food, moonshot projects, etc. Now it seems they're…

How this got 6 upvotes and posted to Ask HN while my stuff never sticks is beyond me.

If you want to retire in 10 years, you'll need to save 65% of your income. https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-si... It's going to take a huge change in habit…

Ugly web design for sure, but today all we have are sleek pre-designed wordpress themes and twitter bootstrap. The web resembles a high-end mall but it's lost a lot of it's charact…

I posted this on HN 6 years ago, (wow time flies) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8674644 Basically, it’s a discussion about how Microsoft held back the internet 6-7 years. Im…

I feel bad because I've worked very hard to get to this point. Worked at a job I hated for years to build my savings and skillset to the level that I can work for myself. To put it…

If you want to use the roads to Rome example, I'm sure there are some roads that have lots of pot holes. I guess you technically still get there, but there are easier roads that ar…

I've only tried to develop 1 app in my lifetime (a yelp for coding bootcamps). I had to brainstorm for weeks, if not months, for that idea. Building the site was no problem, but th…

So far I've identified: Mobile (Android, iPhone) Wordpress plugins Your own web app (SaaS) Gaming (Xbox, PS marketplace) I'm self taught and I'm thinking WP might be best because c…

Since high school I thought I wanted to be an entrepreneur. In HS/college I start websites (ranking in SEO was very easy) and made 30k. I also started a web host and grew it to sev…

Is it all it's cracked up to be? Seems to be the dream career for millenials...I'm wondering if its overhyped.

He said his cousin was female so I just wanted to highlight a positive for her. But you bring up a good point.

I did one. I HIGHLY suggest vetting the placement "statistics". For me, I just read 95% get a job, went to the open house, listened to a couple "rah rah" testimonials and did it. I…

I'm not a programmer, just a really curious guy. Does a master's in CS make you a more effective programmer (in the workplace)? Or is it merely the most talented programmer choose …

The mutual fund company Vanguard is a co-operative, owned by its investors. It is essentially a non-profit. Would this model work for an Uber clone? * It could split the profit eve…

Profit!

I simply have too many ideas. I can perhaps narrow them down to 5. How can I choose the winner? I don't think it's a good idea to work on more than one project, but that's just me.…

This is especially true of side projects. Much easier to slack off than work on them. Also especially true for solo founders. How do you keep yourself accountable?

I felt the bootcamp really exaggerated outcomes. They said like 95+% got jobs. In reality, probably only roughly 30% got "real" coding jobs (a bunch got support or testing jobs at …

great site! if you didnt do any marketing, how did your customers find you?
