Also be sure to find out who will actually own your project once it's done! It'd be a shame to build something you'd like to continue working on after graduation only to have it be…

I went to FIT (2004-2008) and moved to SF last May. Twitter contact's in my profile if you wanna meet up!

I also got my MBA after getting my BS in Computer Science and while I think I could have learned most everything we talked about by reading books, I did learn: - public speaking be…

I always liked the air cooled 911s myself because I remember playing with a MicroMachines 911[1] and they had all of the cool vents (which I guess are silly reasons), but man the n…

Just RSVP'd. I can't believe that there is so little going on here considering all of the nearby schools (FIT, BCC, Kaiser, UCF Cocoa Beach Campus, etc.) and all of the industry (H…

I agree with all of your points, but I'm wondering about the case where it's a solo technical founder that has to do EVERYTHING - marketing, development, customer relations, billin…

For a project I'm working on right now, we're using HighCharts[0] which makes use of SVG. There's a ton of examples of how it works, so I won't delve into that, but I'm thinking yo…

Cool idea! I'll be sure to bookmark it... Here's my $0.02: - Typo in the about page : "As weel..." - I'd change the 1st 2 paragraphs in the about section to "Jobs Tractor looks for…

I'd buy both - I'm guessing people might misspell one thinking it's the other...

I was actually in a meeting today where someone was showing us mockups using Balsamiq. First time I've ever seen it - looked pretty cool. He was able to make interactive PDFs so wh…

Back in '97 it was the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation. Not sure about the time before that... http://web.archive.org/web/19970214020411/http://www.mcc.com...

That's a pretty cool idea, but I don't like that it's an added step for the user when submitting a form. I used to get a TON of spam on my website(s) until I threw in a hidden text…

Given this article, I'm kind of surprised that they are using @EntMagazine for their Twitter handle. Why not sue @entrepreneur into submission too?

I've been using http://www.thenounproject.com/ a lot recently.

Out of curiosity, why'd you change from Cow's Milk to Goat's Milk? I temporarily switched to Almond Milk because it doesn't have lactose (which doesn't promote estrogen production)…

Thanks for the insight! I agree completely - the only reason I ever did free work for them was because they were literally my first customer ever, and I wanted to keep them happy.

I've been freelancing for a while now and in general it's gone like this: 1. A potential customer requests a quote for a project 2. I send them a quote and (usually) they agree to …

Out of curiosity: 1. What was the startup? 2. Can you link us to the review? 3. What problems did you have that caused you to fail?

This thread has already happened twice in the last 13 days. Here are the threads for reference (ordered from newest to oldest): http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2097735 http://n…

http://www.coolmaterial.com/ is a website dedicated to affiliate referrals. While they do use a bunch of affiliate programs, it seems like Amazon is their primary source of income.…

Yep, though it was internal to the company I used to work for. The project I was on had probably one of the best teams I will ever be on - everyone (for the most part) followed cod…

I take cold showers immediately before going to bed. Hasn't failed me yet! Now if only I could get my neighbors to be quiet so I could stay asleep... http://news.ycombinator.com/it…

I always kind of wondered if your points on HN were taken into consideration if you apply to YC. If nothing else I think it reveals a lot about you, like what interests you (links …

A useful keyboard shortcut that I use when I write code is CONTROL+OPTION+COMMAND+8 which inverts the colors on the screen. It makes it a lot easier on the eyes IMO. If you want to…

Be wary of the more expensive sites that sell - something seems fishy about selling a wordpress blog with no revenue, no page rank, and no site stats attached to the auction. I rec…
