   People tried to talk me out of it too. They all thought I was crazy (maybe I am). But I know I would regret not seizing the opportunity. Thank you for your comment.

   Thanks for the advice. I'm about 90% done with my project so I would much rather go all in at this point. I wouldn't have quit if I had more responsibilities such as a mortgage, kids, family, etc.

   I'm working on Project Hard Candy ( http://cndy.co ). It's an itch I wanted to scratch for a while. I need to come up with a better name.

    San Diego is also on the list. I should've put "The Valley" in general. Thanks for the comment.

    There is always a big debate surrounding what language to learn, and I don't think you'll get a solid answer from us. You'll have people arguing about which language is better. PHP, Python, and Ruby frameworks seem to be most popular here o

    I helped start http://bootstrapped.it (@bootstrappedit) where we interview bootstrapping entrepreneurs and try and get them exposure. I agree, there needs to be more news about startups. Good to see that other people are doing this as we

    I recently quit my job too, and am doing the same thing you are. All the people that think you're crazy are saying that because they are very risk averse. A normal life includes getting a job, buying a house, getting married, and having kid

    I do. It's interesting to learn about the people behind their work, even if they achieve moderate success. You can learn a lot from them. I have lots of respect for Mark. He's able to just crank apps out and get things done. Edit: For any

    I did a summer internship at IBM, and the history behind the company is fascinating. One would think that a gigantic 100-year-old company would suffer from bureaucracy and eventually become antiquated and obsolete, but they remain agile eno
