I was actually considering looking for a front desk job in a SF condo. The guy in my building has a desk with a comfy chair and just sits at the front desk every day from 9 to 5 and surfs the net with his laptop, and occasionally accepts pa

My public speaking teacher always drilled into our heads: Know your audience. Thinking back on when I was a 7th grader, I can say for certain that I was never interested in finding a cheap way to innovate, or that I lived in the center of t

Thanks inklesspen, I did exactly what you advised. Devoured through Ruby for Rails, and I'm about half way through Agile Web Development. I really feel like I'm getting a good understanding of RoR!

Does Agile Web Development with Rails have a section on learning Ruby? I'm wondering if I can kill two birds with one stone with this behemoth of a book

I pretty much based the name of my company based on what domain names were available. I wanted it to be short, catchy, and easy to remember. I'm not the most creative person, so I asked some friends for suggestions. In the end, it was my fr

After months of after-work-hours programming, I launched my site http://www.mygrub.net but haven't seen any traction. Any tips for getting traffic? How did reddit get its very first users? I applied to YCombinator with this, but was rejec
