I think there are two types of 'geniuses'. One type is 'people geniuses'. These are people like Steve Jobs, Ronald Reagan, Sarah Palin, Billy Mays, etc. These people are geniuses in the way they were able to understand people and get the to

These kinds of projects are the epitome of the "using technology to solve human problems" fallacy. If you are having trouble staying motivated to work, then you need to fix that. For me, browsing facebook et al is a palette cleanser of sort

I really like the point that is made about co-founders being ying-yang of each other. Hacker-hacker co-founder duos are destined to fail in the same way husler-husler startups are. Bridging the gap between husler and hacker is difficult tho

I did a coding interview problem once where the company gave me an API endpoint that spat out JSON representing products, and told me to build a page that displays those objects onto a page with infinite scroll. As you scrolled down to the

My postulate is that there are some people who have really really really good soft skills, and they get through the interview by wit and charm alone. The interviewer decides to hire the person before it gets the the fizzbuzz part. Those peo

I think those are two different jobs. On one hand you have the Product Leader, whose job it is to stay on top of the technology that drives the product, and to be aware of the codebase. On the other hand, you have the Team Leader, whose job

I imagine you must know a lot about programming to make this work? Ho often do you tun down jobs because the work is too over your head? Or you don't know the language the work is required to be written in?

I think single founders have it hard because in order to succeed, you need both introvert and extrovert personalities present. Most people are either one or the other. You need one brain thats social and salesman-like. You need another brai

I think it has less to do with age, and more to do with family status. Being 23 and a family is just as bad as 40 with a family. A 22 year old with no family is as good as a 45 year old without a family. Once kids and a wife/husband enters

I've been teaching myself the guitar ove the past few months with a similar method. I go on dylanchords.info, open up a tab, play the song on google Play, then play along with my guitar. Dylan's songs have simple chords, so its ideal for be

I got my rejection letter. My project is already built, and has 3000 users. I'm a solo developer, so thats probably why I was rejected. Also I'm 29 years old (started developing at 25). I'm the anti-YC demographic, so I wasn't really expect

As a developer who loves programming, but looks very bad 'on paper', I would totally be down with this idea. Sometimes when I'm interviewing at a company, I just want to tell them, m "Lets skip all this formality crap, and hire me for a wee

Agreed. Its an extension of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. People who truly are good at programming, don't see themselves as 'rock stars'. Its only the shitty developers who would call themselves 'rock stars'.

That depends on what is meant by "holding his own with seasoned Javascript & Ruby devs". In my experience, the only thing that makes you a good programmer is building things. What has this guy built? A handful of project euler solutions

Contact a company like Express Jet, I know they (at least used to) rent out whole CRJs (50 seaters) for private events. If you can fill up every seat, it comes out to a cheaper price per seat than normal airline seats.

IQ tests are just like anything else in life: If you practice enough, you will get good. If you are motivated enough to spend 10 hours a day practicing taking IQ tests, you will eventually get a high score. If you are motivated enough to pr

What do you mean by "things get in their way"? Are you paying them?

Yeah, same here. Raw ideas come to me in such an unorganized manner, it makes no sense to try to write them down. I won't know what I meant when I look at them later.

What kind of person turns into a "0.1x" developer because of another person's grumpiness? Seem to me, those are the ones who should be fired.

Split the problem into sections, and give each person their own section, and then let them do what they need to do. For instance, Tom is in charge of the code that handles registering new users; William is in charge of the code that handles

This brings up an interesting concept. All great creators (artists, programmers, woodworkers, hairdressers, etc) tend to be more pessimistic than optimistic. If you attitude is "Wow this program I wrote is totally awesome, I deserve a pat o
