Awesome. If you ever wanna chat about coding or so. discuss geeky stuff. I'm always idling on IRC (freenode) on the nickname `arianvp`.
Always extending a helping hand :) Muhammed: arianvp serious chief geek, and a very helpful/resourceful one!

#22You have experience with Jails and guarding things? I would ask you to figure out some type of problem that requires the protection of some type of asset.

#27This is an awesome post & I'm excited to see the support from HN.
I like how you're giving yourself a solid goal and plenty of time to achieve it.
Quick question - you mention that you'd like to build an MVP yourself, do you know what product you'd like to build or what market you're interested in serving?

#28Mohamed let me tell you about my little sister. She was the opposite of me in that she hated school. Truly hated it. She said she'd never set foot in school again after graduating high school. But, she wanted to be a police officer, and that required college. So she put herself through school by being a prison guard. My little 5'3" sister running around bossing grown men like it was nothing. She made it through schoo…
Great story expect the last part. Where you're sort of implying that all smart people are coders and others that do other types of jobs aren't.
I met a lot of people that were a lot smarter than most "startup developers" and it didn't require them to sit in front of a computer most of the day.

#29Awesome man!!
Your humility just inspires me. Ping me (@vjdhama) if you need any kind of help with coding or any aspect of learning for that matter.
I'd be more than happy to lend out a hand.

#30"My name is Mohamed, and I am a jail guard!"
G'day, Mohamed don't make the mistake of defining yourself by your job. You are much, much more than that. You work (and survive) in a Jail? That now makes you 10x better than most nerds on HN in understanding and handling people. Scan HN and the general press and you can see how badly Startups and their users are hurt by this and you'll realise this is a desirable skill. Start from there.
