I agree. Specialize in working on one aspect, starting from the most rudimentary "get sh*t running" and working your way up. Rails has been great for me as I've learned to poke around along the entire LAMP stack. At most you'll need 3-4 b

One math problem solved, another created: The Erdos guy who created the challenge set the prize at $500. After Erdos died, the challenge holder reduced the prize to $250.

I'm considering the same for a similar application and am interested in your overall impressions of this method? Am place we can hedge and spend time to improve the process? Does up charges/credits in cycle work well?

The only thing in a stealth instance that is aging is the domain name. You aren't really sharing that much content if in stealth. There may be some ancillary value from links from high value site talking your stuff up.

Yea, I feel your pain, but I would forget the thought of "traditional" lines of financing for the time being. Some thoughts on hackfinancing: 1) Set up an organization website, profile and all the relative legal structures prior to actuall

If you haven't done so already, I would develop some spheres of influence around the things that you already enjoy. The ability to bounce ideas and receive healthy criticisms from trusted friends greatly increases your chances of discoveri

Also, unfortunately I think income is also a difficult split to have happen. If you are looking for scale, at some point, some investment will be needed. Even with scalable resource architectures, two co-founders can only answer so many c

Yea I don't think lines would work ;) If bloatware was bad, just imagine. Short/Long contributions refers to the short term and long term implications of contributions from software developers. Company produces product to solve problem.

One syllable, funny-sounding abbreviations. When an entire org is saying, writing, dreaming about the same thing -- make it memorable, efficient and as fun as it can be.

I generally tell them to summarize their offering in e-mail, with no guarantee of privacy. If its good enough and they're serious, they tend to invest in marking something up. I also ask for examples of business practices (things they've
