We are working on just such a website actually. It's why we are trying to learn more about what people are dealing with. We're hoping to put a tool into experts' hands that lets them curate, organize and sequence the wealth o

Self education is not about not getting help from anyone, and learning everything from first principles. You read a book... you're getting help from the author. You don't have to be a genius and have all the time in the world to l

A couple years before Amazon's Mechanical Turk came out I started thinking about web services (SOAP at the time) with human beings at the end point. To do the things for our software systems that only humans could do. I had a few long brain
