Inspiring, but it looks like the business failed sometime around 2013 for violating health code / zoning laws. Disappointing, as someone who likes the idea of leaving tech to run a…

I think this would be more work than it's worth. Legal overhead + the likelihood of the stock being worth anything for a low possibility of future revenue seems like a losing propo…

I'm starting s podcast to help with this problem. The idea is I pick 1 small business / industry a week, and do 5 interviews with different business owners from that industry, aski…

What will you do differently in 2016 to make it happen?

I want to launch a podcast next year, where I talk to small/medium sized business owners about how their business operates, the problems they face, and what makes their jobs hard. …

Let's say, for the sake of argument, this is just a placebo effect. Does it really matter? If it provides a noticeable, reproducible result that improves someones life, who cares? …

Simplicity. It's become such a behemoth that it can be a bit unwieldy for new users.

I understand this train of thought. But, when it comes down to write this algorithm on the whiteboard or build something small but non-trivial, I'd much rather do the latter.

I'm an experienced developer (previously worked for Microsoft) who left to pursue building a SAAS business. Unfortunately things aren't going as well as planned and I've been looki…

As far as I know, Automattic (the company behind WordPress) doesn't have offices. At the very least, almost all of their workforce are remote workers.

Branding != logo.

Not that I'm defending BBT, but they're taped in front of a live audience, so it's not technically a laugh track.

This is great! One note about your site's landing page: for the sections about each "engine" try leading with the engine's benefit to the user, and go into the highly technical jar…

1. Contact the manufacturer of a product you're interested in 2. Ask if they are willing to dropship their products 3. If not, ask for a list of distributors 4. Contact distributor…

I think this definitely has potential, but there are a few issues: Is this only for searching/displaying courses, or is this used for registration also? If it's the latter, this is…

I don't think rorr was implying that smoking was the cause of Ilya's cancer, but rather is the cause of 20% of stomach cancer cases in the UK.

I've been working on an idea for an MVP that leverages speech recognition, for which there are a few viable API's. However, I'm interested in not only speech to text, but also dete…

Thank you.

You just discredited his opinion by stating that his perspective isn't an accurate depiction of regulatory issues for small businesses. Then you went and made your argument siting …

Thanks for the suggestions. I've already signed up for the stanford course. I'm looking for immediately available resources, since I'll be interviewing soon.

Background: I'm a recent MIS graduate with a software dev internship under my belt. I've been able to land a few interviews (most notably with Microsoft's IT/Operations group), but…

That was certainly something I considered. However, I feel I can accelerate my learning if I focus solely on improving my skill set. More importantly, I have managed to save up a y…
