I take it you've never used Rails' scaffold generator ... it does much of what you speak of (db schema, basic html/css forms, etc.)

This. Aside from quitting FB, this has been the biggest win for me. I only have notifications on for sms/iMessage. Email is pull only. And, if you can get away with it, don’t install work “productivity” apps like Slack and Asana on you

If you don't like that word, use persistent, relentless, scrappy, or whatever. It's not an invisible bar beyond something. It's a trait that increases your odds of success. Don't put words in my mouth

IMO You need to look into both options until you get at least (a) a letter of intent for acquisition or (b) a term sheet from a VC. If you can, get both, then consider taking the VC money if you can get a significantly higher valuation and

Do you only mean professional athletics? My only issue is that athletics start at a young age for most. For some sports, people routinely go pro in their teenage years (tennis, baseball, etc.). We would have parents PEDing up their kids j

Yes. We've arrived at a place where engineers/devs are now first-class citizens in a company. They are also founders and remain as CEO much longer. These are all good things. But those things shouldn't (and needn't) come

Yes its easy, but ... in my experience, very early customers usually get special pricing, terms, and support. IMO its not worth the time to configure plans, pricing pages, and glue code that you'll probably change later. An invoice t

Please tell me you don't think GS is above manipulating the market [0]. Why can't it be both? I completely agree that TSLA is overvalued. But that doesn't mean GS is issuing a report and lowering a price target in order to

Good. When Tesla stock goes under $200/share, its basically an opportunity for free money. Take a look at the long term chart for TSLA (5+ year). The stock dips below 200 (often right around 180), then within 6 months its back over 250

I mistakenly assumed McM Hell was something closer to a business or run by business person(s). As opposed to just a blog run by a single person. My bad.
