25. Uber for food We're working on that right now at munchery.com

Emailed. I lost contact with you some time ago, but we were always wondering when the service would become publicly available. Glad to hear it's coming soon!

Perhaps I wasn't clear. Collecting email addresses is fine, but make sure you're really getting people who are genuinely interested in your product. My point is that people shouldn…

I used to do what you did too. Pure PHP without frameworks projects always grow unmaintainable. At least go with a framework like CodeIgniter. Rails is great too if you prefer Ruby…

Wow, thank you everyone for the incredible responses and support. I'm really glad people found the post useful. I didn't link to Munchery because I intended to write something to h…

I don't see why you can't just work on your idea while in college. Would be far better than dropping out while there's nothing to show for it.

It's not that Mark is wrong. He doesn't try to answer THE question, because there is no right or wrong answer. It's not so black and white, yes you should do it or no you should no…

I used to be like you, not using a framework for exactly the same reasons: I wrote everything myself, and since it's PHP, it wasn't that hard. I knew how to exactly when something …

Wow, same as everyone, I'm most productive at night until morning.

Hello HNers, I need your help... Trying to find the best way to accept weekly subscriptions on our site. Here's the use case. We want subscriptions to start on the same day for eve…

Is your goal to do a startup, or become a programmer? If it's the former, I strongly recommend simply learning HTML/CSS/Javascript and make a killer front-end of your product witho…

You could also try out http://www.appcelerator.com/ It is similar to Phone Gap, and a lot of people use it to build simple iphone apps.

that's harsh :(

Checked out your blog some time ago when I was looking at Citizen Space website. It's interesting, just posted some comments ;)
