Yeah its a slow transition. Dont waste too much time trying to "decide" between a language. I just plunged into python (sorry all RoR fans out there, nothing personal)... django is a great framework for beginners.. start with sqlite for

Actually I started using flex for a custom project at work, to talk to a server in C++. Makes life extremely easy (if you have the eclipse flex builder plugin). Extremely well designed and the dev tools are fine too. Theyve put a lot of

Have you looked at bjam - a make system by boost. Quite useful and a few steps closer to ant than make is. If you really need a gui - kdevelop is pretty good. If you dont mind paying for it, SlickEdit does a fine job too.

1. By seeing how many tasks you have achieved out of your to-do list. 2. If task takes more than a day (of planned time) you have not subdivided it finely enough. 3. For every 5 hours it takes a task (add extra 2 hours). 4. For every 6

do you know how much time you have before they may decide on the big equity equation? Do you know how much the others are investing (especially money wise)?

I am not sure google would be interested in buying Yahoo the same way intel wouldnt be interested in AMD. Always good to have an underperforming competitor to avoid being labelled as a bully or a monopoly!

What does the money buy you? (With limited contacts, how smart is his smart money?)

interestingly this could be part of the reason for the android challenge.. get a lot of developers first and hence get a lot of applications out there, which would reduce one headache for handset manufacturers - applications to bundle to th

Isnt this what you do in your undergrad CS courses? With pretty standard algorithms?

Are you only investing your time? How many hours (a week)? Rather what proportion of time (compared to the others) are you investing? What are the other guys getting paid.. both interms of stock and salary?

oh you are right about the "if you founders wouldnt rather have equity than a salary ...".. absolutely... but I am not sure if its the choice is simple. If you have to feed a family then equity wont pay for it... But yeah sure, a team tha

My undrestanding was that redhat was always a service based company, making linux a commodity. Sure it had released its own patches, but on their own, these patches may not hold much value right?

Actually another startup patient/kind enough to talk to me (:D) is in a very similar predicament to yours. They are infact building a CMS by aggregating several open source tools (eg word-press and so on). Their main reason for open-sourc

Not all founders have the luxury of living with parents at home. Nor are a majority of founders willing to forgo 100K a year in salaries after having tasted the financial benefits of a steady job. Thats just for the "time" put in by the f

What are you trying to achieve by releasing the source code? Improved quality, by having it scrutinized by lots of other coders/hackers/devs (if you are lucky and release it under GPL). Good will and Trust? Perception of "more for the buck

First i used to sit on the couch in my lounge using my coffee table, as my laptop table... couch was becoming uncomfortable, so built myself one of those little indian/chinese/japanese styled desks, where you sit on the floor, cross legged.

Actually I had a pretty bland uni life :D I spent most of my times in the CS labs learning things I was curious about but never had the common-sense to find a cofounder to start something with. Point of the story? Do a startup while in U
