- shady_trails 11y agoContinuing work on an online course on React JS, found here: https://www.udemy.com/learn-and-understand-reactjs/?couponCode=4hn https://www.udemy.com/learn-and-understand-reactjs/?couponCo.... I had some challenges with the course at the started, but refocused my efforts in making sure I was creating a product that a beginning developer could work through and then feel confident to build their own apps. Once the quality content was in place, reviews, revenue, and engagement soared. Revenue is up over the last two months, and I plan to write a blog post in the next few weeks regarding that topic. In addition, I plan to also release a new course covering React Native in the next week.

- twunde 11y agoI'm working with a friend on a PHP framework, specifically helping with the docs: https://github.com/spiral https://github.com/spiral The coolest thing about it is IDE autocompletion of db fields. Other cool stuff is UML generation for Mongo/RDBS, and a storage abstraction for s3, ftp, etc so switching providers is just a config change.
- krapp 11y agoJust started a Coursera course on game development[0] I've been building Space Invaders in C++ for almost a year now. It's been an excuse to learn things like building an entity-component system, messing with fonts, creating spritesheets, etc, and currently i've taken a week-long tangent into vectors and collision detection. It's more of a journey vs. destination kind of thing, otherwise it could have been "done" a long time ago. I decided to wrap most of my Github projects into a small, threaded PHP forum, which is currently a HN clone because I can't be arsed to care about style right now. I've got lots of little things like related links generation and thread folding and sorting working. It will probably never actually see the light of day. Since I just graduated from technical school, I have to find actual work so that's taking up a lot of time too.

- the_impossible 11y agoI'm working on finding a co-founder in NYC. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10218445 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10218445 Finding a co-founder is close to number 1 on the list of things a founder has to do, because the number 1 mistake that kills startups is being a single founder. Therefore learning from other people's search in finding a co-founder would be learning what to look for yourself. I can easily imagine finding a co-founder to be a startup idea itself if done right. http://paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html http://paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html
- tixocloud 11y agoI've asked the question before on Quora and while having a co-founder is great, having the wrong co-founder could spell disaster.
- trcollinson 11y agoI noticed your other post the other day looking for someone to hack with in NYC. Ok, seems fair. But you're looking for a co-founder "for what"? For "a startup"? To build what? What is your passion? It's fun to say "I want to start a start up, I'll read Paul Graham and make sure not to make those mistakes, 1) Check, 2) Check..." and so on. In reality, having a marketable and economically viable idea is the key to founding a successful business. But it seems from your posts that your key passion is not wanting to work in a large company. That's fair enough as well, but it's not the sort of thing that makes a start up successful. Find a problem and start solving it. Then tell everyone about it. A co-founder will come. In fact, they will come because they are interested in the problem you are solving. Don't assume that two people who like sitting around together can actually come up with a viable, marketable idea and then become successful startup founders. Also, Paul Graham is speaking from an investment portfolio perspective when he is speaking of the #1 failure point being not having a co-founder. He says, "Have you noticed how few successful startups were founded by just one person?" The thing you should be worrying about is "Have you noticed how few successful startups there are? Why is that?" Answer the second question first, and you will come to find it has very little to do with co-founders.

- mindcrime 11y agoAs always hacking on Quoddy[1] and Neddick[2]. Beyond that, I've been dabbling with a number of new languages, tools, libraries, etc. See [3] for all the details. The tl/dr; though, is this - working my way through Machine Learning for Hackers and Practical Common Lisp, and starting on an AI bot[4] to give me a playground to mess with AI and Machine Learning techniques. Right now it's just AIML[5] and doesn't do a whole heck of a lot, but I just started on this a couple of days ago. Right now it can chat over XMPP and basically say "hello" and give you the current time.

- ninetax 11y agohttp://bandsoftheweek.com/ http://bandsoftheweek.com/ - make a playlist of the bands coming to town. Recently got some attention on reddit. It was fun to do, and Clojure worked quite well under traffic.
- siquick 11y agoPretty cool - anyway to be able to save the playlist to my own Spotify?
- ninetax 11y agoSure, just follow the playlist and it should show up in your playlists like you made it
- siquick 11y agoHeads up that UBlock on Chrome is blocking all the functionality of the Spotify content unit. There's also no button to click to open the playlist in Spotify (maybe you could add this as a link below the embedded playlist).
- BitHunter 11y agoI've been polishing a game jam game from last weekend. We won best art style, but having lost our lead programmer half way through we barely got a working build finished to present. 2D Split-Screen Capture the Flag. One player assumes role of Firewall, robotic-security guard, other assumes role of the androgynous Cracker. Cracker has to break into the corporate system and take down the mainframe to start the cyber-revolution, while Firewall has to catch them before they do so and escape. We have some fantastic Darude-esque electronic music and a cartoony art style.

- alphast0rm 11y agoI'm working on an MVP for online shell history (bash/zsh) as a service. Source a script, add a command to your $PROMPT_HISTORY, and all your shell history will be available online. It will also provide some graphs along with insights/advice, for example, suggesting possible aliases to save time. Looking to get it out in the next week or two, would love to hear if you guys would be interested in something like this!
- Zelmor 11y agoI left my job this Monday, and decided to leave app support jobs behind for good. I am getting up to speed on python, bash and linux for a start and try to get a position more oriented towards sysops. I will be making some smaller projects related to automation. Nothing extraordinary, just a guy turning 30 this year looking to turn his life around for the better.
