Learning: Was in product development first time. Scrum is tiring in nature but good when used for rapid development. React-Redux-TypeScript is a great combo. Still not sure on using inline styles for react components

#32I'm looking to improve the security of potentially ~82% of websites in early 2017.

#33I created a Neo4j (Graph Database) course on Udemy - https://www.udemy.com/neo4j-foundations/?couponCode=HACKERNE... (Please enjoy the hackernews discount!) The course has an average rating of 4.62 and over 200 students. To date (since end of June), it has made $1182 for me. This was quite a learning experience - aside from putting the course content together, I found out a lot about recording audio. I tried doing th…
Maybe you can give some more insights. What would you say is the ratio on "How much Udemy helps to promote your content" and "How do you have to do yourself to promote the content"? Did or Do (maybe they came up in the same time as your course) you have competitors in that topic?

#34I wrote a concatenative Donald Trump text to speech engine [1]. It kind of sounds like garbage right now since I rushed to complete it before the election--I had no idea he'd win. I read lots of literature on speech and linguistics, synthesis algorithms, and more. I also had to curate a large sample of Trump speech. I wrote the backend in Rust, so I was able to learn quite a bit more about Rust in the process. Since…
It never fails to amaze me that if you can prove you gave the FAA the legally required minimum 30 days warning you can do anything up to death star experiments and they can't say boo about it, but skipping the paperwork and trying to beg forgiveness after the fact is like a dozen separate felonies, so be careful. Assuming you're doing what I'd do with many watts of lasers, LOL.

#35I landed my dream job 20 years after I decided what and where I wanted. It took me a lot of time. Battling low self-esteem, giving it up for a while, following the wrong path, surviving after being fired for the first and only time. I learned perseverance. Once I set my mind on it and worked around distractions, people and my own mind, I got what I truly wanted and I'm loving and learning every single day.

#36After years of R&D, heartache, and rough decisions --- I finally turned my hardware company ( http://pavlok.com ) profitable! We make technology to break bad habits, wake up earlier, and reduce cravings. I decided to try to build a hardware company without raising VC --- which is probably one of the hardest decisions you can make. And required about 30 people to make a reality. But now that we have finally got our ma…
I got one this year but I'm not really using it. I should really give it a shot

#40I learned the hard way to stop focusing on liking everybody, and making better business decisions, especially regarding partners. I have a marketing background, and I knew that saying that «code is easy, marketing is hard», but I didn't know how hard. However, it has been a blast!
Also, this december we open sourced and launched a pull to refresh library[0], which has been a great success!
