I'm just trying to help new freelancers who are as naive as I was in the beginning. What I'm basically saying is : if you want to be a freelancer, be a freelancer. Have several clients, be the one in control at all time. This is what profes

Yeah, to me the fact that you can write stuff like "Hello, my name is Jerry and I'm 28 years old. I'd like to create a project. Could you do it for me Timmy?" is only useful to attract new users. Like you say in your conclusion, once they l

Ehm, no. Releasing early did fail for us. The idea was not mature enough, the "puzzle" wasn't completed but we started developement and released too early.

Like Dan, I think that releasing early and often is a bit overrated as a concept. It was started by 37signals and people have a tendency to read their stuff like it was their bible. There is definitely a danger to release early and often :

It's a cliche but I think sometimes you just have to fall flat on your face to learn something. At the time we did not have the experience to know Graham was right. We acted as if he was wrong and we know the rest of the story. The good new

Not too long ago I was what you are so nicely calling a "young loser". I never asked anyone to sign a NDA contract but I had this paranoid attitude that hurt me more than it helped me. Oh and btw you are really asking for trouble with that
