Site looks good. I love the demo's. Its great to be able to use/experiment with a tool before buying it. The purchase process is a bit sluggish. It's been a long time since I've been bumped to paypal to make a purchase. I think it would b

Its perfectly ok. A lot of times others have already ran into the particular problem and already solved it. You need to understand the solution, just don't blindly accept some random solution found on the internet. If you do this, then y

I've got to ask why sell? If it generates 2 million in profit a year, it should be generating plenty of cash to bank roll your next endeavor. Since you are the only one maintaining you can simply hire 2-3 people to do the work you are curr

It was at San Diego State University. The course was CS106 which was introduction to programming, a requirement for CS students and some EE majors and some math majors I believe. Technically I was a guest lecturer. I got my first job as a

I don't have any statistics to back up my answer, but I suspect that requiring a CC at signup will decrease your revenue. I know personally, I do not sign up for things that require my credit card. I blame gyms for this. It is the classi

Works as advertised. I use both Skype and GTalk. Skype seems to do a better job at noise cancellation. But the new call feature, since it is free, has replaced my skype out calls.

I like the concept and the site looks good. The images change a bit to fast for me. I was trying to get a feel for the app, but it was hard with the images changing as fast as they are. I'd like to see a few more screen shots before I wou

I taught Introduction to Programming at a University after I graduated. It was an great experience and I believe I might return to teaching later in life. The biggest issue for you will be unlearning what you already know. Since you will

I like it. I've used wufoo for surveys before and have had mixed results. I think being able to embed specific questions on the site is a great idea. The site looks good. Pricing feels ok to me. I think the biggest competition (around h

Hmm. Doesn't seem to be working with Chrome at the moment. I tried the 'I want' and 'I have' with no luck. Possible user error, but there's not a lot to screw up with the user interface. When searching, I never see a map.

1 complete failure. We lasted a year spending all our savings and had to fold up shop. It sucked quite frankly but turned out to be a great learning experience. It also helped me branch into consulting and the startup that I'm currently a

It comes down to trust, because legally, I don't think your bases would be covered. I'm in a similar situation, working as a consultant. But I've known the CEO for several years and trust him. We are in the final phases of adjusting the LL

I'm married (9 years) and have 2 kids (throw in house mortgage as well.) I've been working on start ups for the last 3 years. I left a very good, high paying, stable job to work with startups. The first key thing is getting your wife on b

To me, attitude/personality is a huge factor when start ups are hiring. I've been on both sides. When I was first hired, I had about 2 years part time work experience. When I was hiring, we often looked for recent graduates that would be

If its in stealth mode and there is nothing for them to so, then I would hesitate. Are you planning on continuing with the startup after getting hired? That is the risk that they will see. If the startup will be over by then, I would put

The site looks very nice. Clean and well presented. Search is a must for a site like this. I know you said it is coming soon, which is good. One other issue is that you are using a fixed width layout. For code examples, sometimes you wi

If you increase the number of shares in the company (in order to give to the outside investment) all ownership (yours and the LLC) would be diluted. But if you do invest your own money 1) Investors know that you have faith in what you are d

I see it both ways. If you run out of savings and have to get a job, then that might kill the business. The good thing about side jobs (or contracting) is that you still have a lot of freedom to pursue the business. The key thing is to k

Unless you are a politician, it shouldn't make a difference. I don't care to much what they do/think outside of work. As many people have said, having a diversity is a good thing in the work place. Unless the person was very out spoken a

for real meetings, if it is on existing contract I'm working on, I bill accordingly. If it is a meeting to get new work, then it is not billed and an overhead cost of doing (getting) business. For phone calls, it depends. I have a few cl

I haven't seen 3.15 before. That seems pretty high to me. 2x is closer to what I have experienced before, some times less if the overhead is low. If a company needs 3.15x, then they have some pretty serious overhead issues. Perhaps this i

Having kids has been a great change in my life. My kids are 4 and 6 now and I'm loving being a dad. I can still work long hours, but I split the hours to spend time with them. I don't have the time I'd like to have to dig into new techno

Part of the issue is you don't want 100 features but only one person uses one feature, like word or Excel. If you do have a lot of features that are rarely used, you should hide as many as possibly behind an 'Advanced' area. If the feature

I agree. Since you are getting equity then you want to just take enough to pay your bills. Stretch the initial investment as far as it will last. This is actually a lower risk than most startups where it is your own money you are spending

I'm not big fan of using Facebook login. I would think that it raises a barrier of entry for users, either because they don't have a facebook account or because they don't know what side affects your app will have. You don't explain what
