Man. At 25, you are still so incredibly young, you have no idea. I am 30 and still feel incredibly young, but you already have a 5 year jump on me, which is huge. Take advantage of…

Hi there. Just wanted you to know that you shouldn't be embarrassed/ashamed about the stuff that you're putting out there. A lot of people don't want to admit their struggles or of…

Same thing happened to me when I tried to outsource a slot machine app to a company on Odesk in India. Was ridiculously dumb to try and work with those guys.

Thanks for this, I did see this earlier. I will certainly consider this option as I progress.

Thanks for your support. I will keep your contact info, and keep it in mind as I progress down this path. Hopefully I will be in touch soon.

Man I want to hug you for this. I am so glad you were able to make it work. I'm just going to do it too, it can't hurt me at this point, and I felt very much the same as you. My do…

I hear this often. Is this really a good idea? I have thought of it, but I wonder, am I just going to move all the way out there, and then I still won't find anything? What then. I…

Well I did build a custom, fully watercooled computer with flow/temperature monitoring and custom fan control from scratch. Custom wired and designed and overclocked to 5GHZ. Altho…

Would love to talk to you a bit more about this. This is very much a real issue for me, and I would like to further understand what you mean by finding practical things to do, etc.…

It doesn't. Part of the reason is urgency, and part of the reason is not fully trusting what I have found with my research (or not knowing if there is something better, and maybe I…

First, thanks for the specifics here, it is very helpful to someone like me who is grasping at a starting point. Second, I so want to believe that this is true. Even if I could jus…

Thanks for this link. :)

Hey, thanks for the support. I admit I don't know enough about what was going on in that vid to make it exciting, but the thought of being able to make a website do whatever I want…

I basically have no technical background other than basic engineering, but nothing software related. On the bootcamps, do you personally know anyone who attended and recommended a …

Hey, I am currently in Dallas. I really have no ties here, I am considering picking up and moving, but not sure yet. I would definitely like to know some people who have worked on,…

Thanks for these resources, never heard of the Rails tutorial, will definitely check it out. What area of the world do you live?

Hey Kevin, I never committed to it. I spent time questioning whether this was right for me, wavering between this and that, giving up, almost going back to work at what I was doing…

I'm very happy to hear that you're doing it. For a very long period, I started to give up hope (and I had never even attempted anything). I would very much like to find some people…

"For example, if you believe that smart people are smart because they do clever things easily -- then your brain can start to believe that if you find something hard to do, it is p…

I spent 276 days trying to figure out what to do with my life, I still don't have an answer. I have no experience in programming, nor do I have delusions about becoming an elite pr…

Many thanks for this Erica. Also, grats on your company in Austin. I have followed you for a while now, glad to see things are continuing to go well for you. Cheers.

I am probably more down than the OP, I am 30 and we are in a very similar situation, but I'm struggling hard with very strong depression at the moment due to all these factors and …

This is how all charities should be done. I will be supporting this charity, and I furthermore think it should be illegal to run a charity in any other manner than pure transparenc…

I've always loved the California coast. I've been to LA, SF, SD, Monterrey, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, I love them all. My GF got some time off work, and we are planning a trip f…

I'm really glad I didn't act on these same impulses when I was that age. It's really hard to keep going sometimes, but when you do, I think you'll look back and be very grateful th…
