Nowhere did I say this is the only way. Just that it reminded me of it. Can you suggest a better system? If not, I like his way of thinking and I wanted to share.

I totally agree, because I used to be one of those people. I just added to my cart what I was going to eat for the next week and whatever the price was at the register, that's what I paid, often in complete surprise (and horror) at how much

How about Google Tasks? I rely on this with Gtasks on Android every day as my main note taking vehicle. I find it especially useful for literally instantaneous syncing between phone, tablet, desktop, and laptop. Here's a way to access it vi

I agree. Thank you for this topic series. I look forward to every Tuesday's email! I have to ask though, why bother calculating the daily revenue? If a paid app is in the top 25, isn't that enough of a sign that it is profitable?

I agree. I would have liked if the author had provided some ways to learn about these topics. So then, what is the best website or video series to learn these topics? Wikipedia has a nice list of course, but I'm wondering if anyone here has

That is true, but something else to focus on: with smaller niches, the learning that takes place is often much higher and faster, and that is invaluable too. My app is the absolute niche of niche ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta

I agree. Some of the meal choices were pretty ridiculous too. Toast and jam as an entire meal? And the title of the article is "How to eat healthy"?? There is one absolute best way to spend less on groceries, and it is something that every

I completely agree. In an effort to help others, here is a summary of the article as I understood it: Loyalty cards from supermarkets and other merchants do nothing to instill loyalty. Doing things that provide value to others is how you b

I was under the impression that this was a paid app. How does it generate so much revenue while still being free? I signed up for future posts ( extremely well-placed sign-up form by the way!), but I didn't see a description of in-app purc

I agree. The social experience should be at the top of the list of reasons to go to college. And while I am incredibly enthusiastic to see how online learning helps to curb the ever-growing debt crisis of the "traditional" university educat

When I'm programming, I close all email and instant messaging applications, as well as put my phone on Airplane mode. I find limiting interruptions in this way to be incredible for mental focus. I highly recommend it, if you don't already d

This makes me think of this quote: The only way to avoid criticism, is to not do anything of value. So expect that it will happen, because it means you created or did something worthwhile.

Easy solution: Don't read, listen to, or watch the news. If I recall correctly, there was even an article about this idea on Hacker News just a few days ago. If there is ever anything really important, I am bound to hear it via conversation

I would add that you should also allow yourself to get "bored" as that is often what leads to creativity and other breakthroughs. My last blog post was actually the result of exactly that, when ironically, I had finished reading all of the

I've always thought that Computer Science is a field best mastered through experience in actually programming in your chosen language(s). I wonder how many people do Master's or PhD programs simply because they want to stay in school.

The headline "Girl Scouts to introduce game developer badge" is superb on its own. No need to bash anyone else, especially when these two organizations are all about building people up.

WOW! After reading this article, I feel so incredibly happy that I work for "BigCo". I already like where I am quite a bit, but this article made me appreciate it an extra order of magnitude. I think I will read this article once a month

Any chance of updating the website to be more mobile friendly? (Or at least a link to your YouTube channel.) Here is what I see: http://imgur.com/BcyVjhg

Does anyone have experience using Xamarin, as opposed to standard Android development in Eclipse? I'm looking at the website and as a daily C# developer, this looks enticing. But I'm wondering what the limitations are as it seems somewhat t

Haha. I agree. It has some great and inspiring ideas but definitely not a blueprint for anyone. For example, I have no desire to live abroad so I completely disregarded the travel parts of the book, which is at least half of the book's cont
