I've been using http://gdne.ws for this, but it's cool to see another service cropping up. I'll keep an eye on it.

Not quite - I replied to a comment just underneath yours that has been deleted. It was something along the lines of "don't start a content business, investors HATE content business…

You don't have to start a content business in order to take on investment - running something that aligns with your interests can be rewarding enough on its own. Optimizing for wha…

I'm not sure if they have something exactly like this, but http://erlibird.com/ has gotten me pretty good feedback on projects before.

I'd be interested in using the data that came out of it as a result. If there was an easy way for me to contribute back I would be interested in doing that.

There are plenty of developers still actively producing and releasing games in Flash - the fact that it can cross compile to iOS, Android, and Mac/Windows desktop applications with…

I've been teaching myself actionscript 3 so that I can build games - right now I'm working on a game where you run a pizza shop, because I used to like playing lemonade stand: http…

No API, but someone has bundled up the scraping into a gem for you: https://github.com/speric/kindle-highlights

You might try signing up on https://www.odesk.com/ - you'll probably want to stick to small projects to build up your reputation at first, but once you have a few under your belt y…

Keep your job and start selling the product. Don't take investment capital unless you absolutely have to, and don't quit your job until your profits are high enough that you can do…

In a lot of cases, the "performance" people care about when making language choice is "developer performance". People choosing Python feel (perhaps incorrectly) that they will be m…

This seems like it actually detracts from the PDF experience. 1) I can't search anymore 2) I can't click to get to the next page - I have to click the corner of the page and drag i…

There was at one point - Clutch ( http://clutchio.github.io/ ) did it and then got acquired by Twitter. They've open sourced everything though ( https://github.com/clutchio ), mayb…

Depends what you want. http://99designs.com is good if you need a logo.

How many billable hours would it take to make the $60/year this will cost you?

My first guess would be affiliate commission from the various services where you can buy the music.

I'm curious: if a gaming company were to distribute a game that had an option where you paid for it and an option where the client partitioned 10% of your capacity for mining (only…
