If one can program a computer, chances are that it would be foolish not to try to sell the result, if only to augment one's "luck surface".
A $30 a month EC2 instance can host thousands of users, depending on the service proposed. If a service has "any sort of value", chances are that some money will get out of it, maybe much more than was invested.
- techbio 16y agoWhat is the source of the term "luck surface"? It's a good one.
- sabat 16y agoIt sure is. Jason Roberts of the TechZing podcast coined it: http://www.codusoperandi.com/posts/increasing-your-luck-surface-area http://www.codusoperandi.com/posts/increasing-your-luck-surf...
- LanceJones 16y agoSee Jason? They ARE noticing. :-)
- jayro 16y agoWow, that's kinda cool! What's funny is that by simply coining the term "luck surface area" I've actually managed to increase my luck surface area. ;)
- techbio 16y agoLed me to sign up for the AppIgnite notifier. :)
- jayro 16y ago... in accordance with the prophecy (cue evil laugh). ;)
- sabat 16y agoJason, "luck surface area" is one of the best metaphors I've heard in a while, and certainly one of the most useful. It clarifies something that a lot of people don't realize: the harder you work and the more you get yourself out into the world, the more your chance of being lucky.
