A couple of notable quotes: 1. I’ve sold tens of thousands of games direct online, since I started in 1998 2. It took me maybe 5 years before I could live from my direct sales, and was able to quit my job. 10's of thousands doesn't soun

Do what you love. Everything else will follow. edit: realize this reads as "not very helpful". But you seem to know what you want to do. Job opportunities will be what they are in 5 years. Who knows. But if you try to change your natur

I think this is a very narrow view of it all. At the risk of sounding like someone who has drunk too much of the Apple kool aid, here's the big picture potential of all of this together... If apple makes this a cohesive environment. Downloa

They don't go into much detail, but they are talking about contextual ads (google adsense), so this isn't that surprising at all: contextual ads on celeb stories pay less than contextual ads on mortgage stories. But, for large sites that se

well, the next question question is will you regret not doing this in 10 year's time? I know it's a cliche to say you only live once, but you really need to think about it in those terms. I didn't want to look back and regret not taking th

Not sure if the demo scene was ever discussed at length here on HN, but it was something I grew up with. I can't prove it, but I suspect the same personalities that were drawn to it in the 80s and 90s are now being attracted to the web st
