I would steer away from using a username as a login. A person's default username may be taken on your site, in cases like these people usually use a variation by appending some numbers/characters. Now, when they try to login they&

Build a very small thing that would provide value. I've built quite a few products. However, the most successful product to date has been one that I wrote in a week to solve a problem I had for my websites. So, my take away from that i

One tip that would probably help you find new and interesting ideas: Try to read ask HN threads, shown HN threads (the new ones). Just the other day some guy posted about how he could get notified of remote tasks. I think that is a good pro

Awesome :) Have you started monetizing it yet? For me that is something that should be done in the first 3 months. That gives you an idea of how valuable it is to others. If it is giving a steady stream of revenue then awesome.

Sort your ideas based on the basis of most potential or most value. Pick the first. Stick with it for at least 3 months.

Thank you, this is very helpful. I see that you have a SaaS targeted at devs https://dns-api.com/ . It is a nice concept. How were you able to drive customers to this? Any strategies that worked / didn't work? Wou

This is an interesting problem :) For my local commands I have a small script called `b` which runs a command and shows a notification when it is done using notify-send.

This is a great addition while writing bash scripts. Catches a lot of the bad stuff.

One thing that has been extremely helpful for me is to work in Pomodoro sessions. I use a pomodoro session of 55 minute work + 5 minute breaks. And, I have a rule of not checking email, reddit, HN while I am in the middle of a pomodoro sess

Well, what is the difference between a hobby project and a startup? Is a startup something that brings in money? If so, I am definitely planning to monetize all the 12 startups. Does a startup need someone who works on it full time? If so,

I have built a few startups in the past, and am currently building 12 startups in 12 months at http://blog.12startupsin12months.in/ . Like the @nfriedly mentioned. You really have 2 questions. I always ask people to get the

I actually have a different take on this. I was building a side project 2 times in my past, to a point where there was some buzz around these side projects. And, I didn't have a job when I was working on these. However, as the products

I don't even share it with my wife. And the issue is not about trust. It is that there is no need for it. And sharing it with another person makes it a lot less secure.

I don't really plan my next day. I do a bit of triaging once my current task is done to re-prioritize my todo list, which is a simple text file.

I just bought a refurbished T430 for my sister. These things are built like tanks. Because of the enterprise usage patterns there are many good refurbished laptops available for sale.

This is a huge problem that will derail your product if you are not careful. My general advice is: "Think about a specific person" for which you are building you are product. And build features that make that single person as happ

In a typical enterprise, devs usually don't have root access. The IT staff have root privileges. However, IT staff does not equate to your boss. I wouldn't personally be ok with something of this kind. However, I don't put an
