Thank you. This has become my one and only default homepage that I open up starting each day.

None. If you're implying if this blog is simply link-bait, it's not. I have no need for links to this personal blog, I wrote this to bring out a few good pointers about the 'hustli…

Thanks for the data, pretty interesting. I was thinking of doing one myself here in a few for Freelancify

Thank you for that. I shot you an email..

yeah, it only popped up half the time for me when I first saw the news, so I figured I'd post a decent "rewrite" that everyone could access. cheers!

Great stuff Michael!

thank you for the suggestion, will look into that. The popularity of the posts def caught me off-guard..

"then I'd come back the next day to realize it was a stupid" I couldn't agree with that more!! Come back and you find out all you had to do was restart the 'Rails Server' or simply…

Yes, it was the hardest/easiest thing to learn I've ever experienced. Sometimes I was jumping out of my chair and then other times throwing things against the wall. Plenty of times…

Thank you! Without getting too much into technics in the beginning, and getting the person to get something up to feel accomplished, gain confidence. I think that's what gets most …

That's pretty fast. Yeah.. once getting past that initial learning curve; it becomes a lot funner.

thank you! how many hours total do you think you spent during the 3 months?
