The secret of making money on the Internet
Not so long ago, I saw a video that inspired me.
This is a presentation made by David Heinemeier Hansson , creator of Ruby on Rails.
He explains how we can make money on the internet. I though I should share this, not only is a complete fresh way to see it, but also inspiring.
- baran 17y agoExcellent presentation. David gives a very simple formula for all web developers to make money. Actually first saw this in a business school course.
- 10ren 17y agoGreat talk, very glad to see it again. I especially liked the question response (at about 25:00) having a day job as a framework designer is probably the worst thing you could ever do, because if you want to create a tool for developers, it's best if you are intimately engaged with the task that they are, as your day job. Or: scratch your own itch, as the openies say. BTW: Larry Niven (scifi writer) said it's a mistake for writers to give up their day job, because then they run out of raw material (work that seemed a curse was actually a resource). I note that Vernor Vinge's most recent novel (after he quit his day job) was much worse than is earlier works (in my opinion, and in other's).
