Normally, I hate reading about these. Web dev has become easy enough that anyone should be able to prototype their idea.
Nevertheless, two words in article make this worth reading.
"I hustle"
That's something I really respect (assuming you truthfully hustle). You write well, you probably sell well. Good luck with your venture.
- cgshaw 16y agoThanks for your comment. I kind of mentioned it before, but I'm not some silver spooned trustafarian with nothing better to do. I'm a blue collar guy that's worked since I was 13. Retail, food service, whatever to get by. My first "real" job was teaching and coaching debate at a top 30 liberal arts school at 22 without a masters or phd, which were job "requirements." I called the dean of students, who was hiring for this specific job, and basically said "you're crazy if you don't consider me." In retrospect probably seemed insane, lol. I applied on a Tuesday, called his office half a dozen times on Wednesday, flew out Sunday, was offered the job Monday and packed all of shit and drove nearly a 1,000 miles to a place I'd never been just a few days before. He gave me a shot and I coached a team to final four and it was the school's second best finish in its debate teams 110+ history of debating. Some of my students were essentially my age. My students were really bright, but I'd like to think I had something to do with it too, :-).
