   In favor. Everybody in my highschool class learned how to program but I'm the only one who ended up being a programmer. I'm really not concerned about competition. Learning a thing and than doing a thing for the rest of your life

   1. Step: Create a software and sell it (or give it away for free). 2. Step: Offer to create add-ons for that software. It has been working fine for me for a couple of years now. The software is B2B and the customers are mostly small busines

   What the barber shop owner doesn't realize is that an appointment scheduling software is supposed to reduce phone calls which would decrease the workload of the staff. Also, what if I want to schedule an appointment when the shop is cl

   When I develop something for my own needs, most of the times I'll make it into a product. That includes mostly small web apps like disposable email, short URL, a guestbook service, a blog software, a CMS. One of my projects (online app

   And thousands of developers would hate it. Sure, some things are ugly but the usage is too widespread in order to get rid of them. Look at the register_globals disaster and how long it took to throw that out. And it was only one little thin

    I found the last "hack" (Bonus: suggest new projects to existing clients) to be very effective in the past. It really can't hurt to suggest features or changes to a client. If they are eager to improve their business, they wi

    Of course a SaaS is a "make customers awesome" company but you'll need use technology to make it awesome. Sure, clients don't care about the technology but that is not the same as "You’re not a tech company".

    Maybe higher education is not for everyone but I have a hard time relating to people who say that going to college or a university was a waste of time. Going to university and getting an MBA was the best decision I've ever made. I lear

    The next step would be to test if lowering your price has any positive effect. Also, instead of raising your price, create add-ons that people have to pay for. It worked great for our software product.

    Stupid title. Should've been "cracked iPhone displays". I read "cracked iPhone" synonymous with "jailbreaked iPhone". Also, nicely written press release.

    This is an interesting notion. Does this mean that wealthy people are allowed to put everyone including themselves and their families in danger because they can afford to laugh about the fines? I know from personal experience that while I'm
