Thanks for the advice, I'm going to start looking for roles you have stated whilst I develop applications on the side. I guess if you are starting out, I shouldn't be really picky.

Not uncomfortable, but disappointing that someone, who founded their own company, would lash out to someones work that decided to share to the world for free. There is being rude, and there is being down right disrespectful.(which has been

Good read and good advice. When I was starting out, I was jumping to different frameworks and languages every week or so, until I released that its completely pointless. Fortunately, I found a thread on HN regarding on how to start and cont

A good perspective. I never post where I traveled to (unless a friend somehow tags me and mentions the location we where at) on social networks even if I have photos, souvenirs and merchandise from the trips. I tell people where I've b

Thanks for the advice and encouragement. I am definitly going to invest in myself and take time to improve, its just that when you look at Show HN, you begin to think your years behind everybody else.

As a visual thinker, this is great! Especially for mathematics which I was great at until secondary school began, where I struggled a lot due to impatient math teachers poorly explaining concepts. Congrats to the team for shipping this, I&#

What an amazing way to explain this concept. I'm a visual thinker, and I always preferred these kind of explanations of concepts. I just wish I had teachers who taught more like this in my science subjects during Secondary School.

I was in the same boat when I found out about HN. The amount of detail, eloquence and prose on technical subjects (or non technical) members talk about here is fascinating. This is what made me want to improve my own English and writing. At
