As someone who works for themself, balancing productivity with learning is on my mind a lot. Yes, creating my own boilerplate is attractive from a learning experience. Except when it's not learning but figuring out how to configure Web

That's pretty harsh. I don't make that kind of money but if I did, I'd still be open to living with roommates in a house. Some of us like living with other people and saving money while at it.

Three years ago, I was shutting down my startup which was a webapp built in PHP using my own framework. I decided I was going to consult and I also decided it was time to learn a professional, modern framework. At the time, RoR was hot and

I work on my own startup with a co-founder so I can't mentor at work. Over this past summer, I mentored a college junior as part of the Code2040 ( http://www.code2040.org/ ) program.

I really appreciate the feedback hawkice. Totally get that. Will do that for the follow around. To answer some of your questions: * I made the bot for my startup [0]. It supports interactive messages (buttons, dropdowns), slash commands, an

I did this for the first time on a personal trip. It cost ~$15 USD for a shower at the airport in Singapore. What a world of a difference it makes.

Tangent - when I was 18, I wanted to be hardcore. I thought I was above Fedora and a (then up and coming) Ubuntu. So I printed out the compile-from-scratch manual for Gentoo. It was a solid 20 pages front and back. I made it four pages in a

I make this commute pretty often (albeit to Orange County, not LA) and I've been following these guys for awhile. I was under the impression their price would be a lot less than a flight. Their price roundtrip is $230. A roundtrip flig

That's really interesting. I was thinking of doing a social experiment that's similar but the script would be crowd sourced and determined at the last possible moment.
