   I haven't taken the Erlang plunge yet, but if I did, I'd probably try starting with Elixir, a language written in Erlang. There is a growing amount of buzz, community, tooling, etc. A basic understanding of Elixir would probably

   Basically it comes down to time. I used to run a small business that depended on a Rails app. It was much easier to let Heroku manage the headaches of sys admin type duties than to manage servers myself. Below a certain scale, the money

   One thing I really liked was using Project Euler. Step 1 for any given problem was to solve it. Step 2 was to go through code written by others benchmark it, and learn why there code was faster than mine. https://projecteuler.n

    It's not just that techies yearn form public transportation. It's not practical to drive to downtown SF. San Francisco is certainly expensive, but much of that cost can be absorbed by not owning a car, not paying for parking dow

    I don't care at all about whether or not a business as a .com domain name. I care about usefulness and utility. As long as the business shows up when I google them, I'm good.

    I started using Sidecar, and more recently Uber, because I couldn't get a cab ride. There were plenty of times I tried calling for a cab in SF's SOMA district, only to be disappointed when either no one answered the phone and&#x2F

    My gut tells me it's not exactly a challenge to outcompete the bottom 25% of anything. In my experience, breaking into a new career at all is the hardest part. Once you're in, it's not like you are automatically stuck at th

    Amazon sells groceries now, too. I usually buy things from Amazon that I used to buy at Walmart. I think Amazon will be around for a long time, and Walmart's margins will shrink as competition becomes ever more fierce at the bottom e

    I paid for Sublime Text to make the annoying "buy me" message go away. I probably wouldn't have paid if it didn't nag me, and I never would have tried it if it weren't freemium.

    Honestly there's no good answer to this. Do you like excitement, thrills, terror, and chasing opportunity at the expense of all else? That sounds like dropping out. Do you like enjoying less real world responsibility, learning in a

    Until you've made it big, no situation you'll find yourself in will be perfect. If it were easy to get ahead, they wouldn't call it work. To answer your question, if you can't think of a better strategy, get really good
