I was in a similar situation and in my case I also had the fourth option: 4. Try not to touch any old projects. Instead try to "own" a new one where you can do things the right way. There are, however, a few problems with this approach: you

So much for run anywhere. Seriously, perhaps Apple is trying to discourage people from developing MacOS applications using Java in order not to make the whole experience appear slow. Their OS is already quite inefficient (which, BTW, makes

You are approaching this problem from a wrong side. First you need to determine how much your service is worth to the customers, in monetary terms. Then you can base your price on that. Normally you would divide your service benefits into t

"I think the statistics are pretty favorable to having a co-founder" It's all in the details. Let's say we have the same success rate for single founder and multiple founders ventures. There are many more multiple founders startups for at

"I've done both desktop/server software and web software, and IMHO good web software is harder." I am not saying web development is necessarily easier. I don't have any problem believing Javascript or AJAX is a lot of pain to get working co
