Sorry, you're a million miles off the mark. The cover letter is your chance to explain Why you want to apply and Why you'd be a good fit. The resume explains Who you are (professio…

Thank you - purchased!

Same thing. Are you telling me that to "make a marketable product" you would need to pay 10 engineers $100k for a year? Hell, just hire 5 engineers at $100k a year (which is expens…

"You really need about a million dollars to make a marketable product." wat? There are countless examples which disproves this (eg. Basecamp)

Isn't that exactly what P2P/IAP is?

Depends on what you define as 'much money'. I spent 3 months building Hipster CEO and its made me approx $40-45k (as well as leading to other projects). Not a bad return for 3 mont…

Gratuitous but relevant I feel: If you're into startups and Pay Once and Play games then Hipster CEO is probably up your alley: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/hipster-ceo/id731368…

Thank you. If more people thought along the same lines as you then our industry would be a much better place.

Or, I dunno, maybe it makes for an enjoyable read.

I agree with you with one caveat: there really was a social contract in place that said something along the lines of "Finish third level and you'll walk into a job thats better tha…

"from not the best colleges" You do realise that it's a considerable achievement for someone from a working class background to go to third level at all, right?

I see your point but surely you agree peer comparison is fair? No doubt the author has things better than generations before (though you do have to factor in things like increased …

Please explain how you believe its pretty trivial to escape poverty? A grossly ignorant statement that.

Well it wasn't very good at PDAs but we got the iPhone...

Great community spirit there, fella.

The parents parent comment discusses keyboard drivers. They wouldn't operate very well without them.

Web developers don't need to know how a keyboard works. Nothing much more complex than key press down/up anyway.

The content of programming boot camps will eventually be moved to high school curriculums (I'm not sure if they currently do this in North America or not). This will be a good thin…

Quite a busy space that. What pain points does your platform offer that others dont?
