A senior programmer can get over $120k easily.. though at the end of the day, you have a job. For someone else. poop.

This over and over again! My mother forced me to try out for drama my freshman year of high school. She bothered me all summer and said that if I tried out, I could choose whether to join or not, and she would never bother me again. I was

I started a company and it barely survived for 12 years. So happy to be taking a vacation with a normal job and a paycheck. For now. In another couple years I'll be back on the wagon.

I did a startup in my 20's that was an intense experience. Now I have a sweet job at an amazingly run video game company where I don't care about making payroll, hitting sales goals, the joy of having employees, managing cash flow and inve

I second this. Strongly. I had 2 amazing mentors in high school who supported me in rather extreme ways. After college I had started a company making high end stereo equipment, using a lot of what I had learned from them. 10 years after

- Go with your gut reaction - that's all you have right now, until you build up experience. But listen to that small voice that says 'hey, this isn't right' and don't let people talk you out of it, even when you don't have a logical argume

True - but imagine if there was one in all your consumer electronics, with a usb port and all the code is open source. I think we'd see the pace of innovation speed up a lot, and electronics would start to be a little bit more personalized

That is an impressive price point. I've always been a bit surprised at how expensive the arduino is, specifically that as it's become super popular and companies are actually selling decent volumes of it, the price point has not gone down

There is _always_ stuff to do. If he's doing hardcore stuff, then perhaps there's UI work or design work. What's going to happen when he's done? Is there a rollout plan? If your gut's telling you to talk to him about it, don't let your l

No matter how many were affected, call your best 100 customers and talk to them about it. Say that you messed up, and are changing things to ensure this does not happen again, and then keep blabbing on until the phone call turns into a dis

I think being with someone who also has an all consuming passion for something would help. Then both of you have an addiction, er, obsession about something and it's a little less awkward when you'd rather be doing that on a Friday night.

There is something inside you that you currently do not have control over. So 'double down' on it. Instead of planning to study, plan to not study. Instead of wasting time 'procrastinating' which usually means surfing the internet, plan

I know - I had family members asking me 'what this linkedin thing was'. That's when I quit. (I don't remember giving them my password, however the link to send someone an invite is actually a link to send EVERYONE and invite, and apparently

I have never joined facebook, and am thankful for this. But I was suckered into joining linkedin, and when I saw they had uploaded my contacts list from my gmail account, I had to leave. Still not quite sure how they did that.

Are you a thrill seeker? Are you comfortable in a chaotic environment where your future paycheck is not a guaranteed thing? Working for a startup is possibly worse than actually starting your own company. You are there to watch and partic

At first I didn't get it. But then I tried it. And I like it! How cool would this option be for 'books on tape'.

Being forced into doing drama also changed my entire life. I cannot recommend it enough. I was relatively talentless and put in the back of the chorus (sang happy birthday during tryouts for a summer musical), but that only gave me more t

I really like how we understand where his mindset was at that time. Toy Story wasn't released until 1995, so overall he was literally at a crossroads in his life, with a glorious past and a somewhat unknown future.

If they have the volume, which they probably will, more profit. This will allow them to do more R+D and eventually not give a portion of their profits to Intel for the big chips. Chips are plenty powerful enough to run apps (for the standa

No - it's literally their own chip. They bought a chip company a couple years ago.. http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/apple-buys-chip-p-a-semi-... Now they got the whole world in their hands. Probably not worth it to get in the mucky m

This is well written. And the free membership into the premier club is a great low cost way of rewarding people. Making hardware is freakin difficult, and the margins are always thinner than you want in the beginning.

If you look at the energy costs of a vending machine it's actually cheaper in some cases to have an efficient fridge with soda for free. (at least back in the day) The vending machine company often doesn't pay for power, so they have no i
