I know, I know....a repost, but I think a poll is a much better option for this sort of question

#2Why did not you leave an option for "never"?
Anyway I am trying to look up what does "ramen" mean - though I found it's definetion but it did not make any sense to me when I combined it with the word "profitable".
What I found is: ramen means "A thin white noodle served in this dish."?

ramen noodles are traditionally the cheapest possible meal a person can eat. "ramen profitable" means that the business is barely profitable to scrap by on the cheapest living amenities.

I read your blog.
Maybe you should take a look at: http://news.ycombinator.com/jobs
Also consider taking a look at: http://www.startuply.com/ which contains jobs at startups, and some of it at the bay area. Startuply is a YCombinator's startup. :)
Good luck for you.

#9This is a great idea for a poll, but I think it is self selecting away from reality. As of 4:19 EST there are 12 votes for items where someone reached "ramen profitability", 3 for "Never", and 11 for "Hopefully soon(also never)". So that means 12/26, or 46% of respondents have reached some level of profitability. This seems high to me.
I'm not sure whether to be annoyed or inspired as I'm still in the Never category, but will back in "Hopefully soon" before long.

#10I'm a grad student. Ramen profitable to me is for kings and queens. I'm jealous of all of you.
