I absolutely agree with the article. Most people don't realize that their productivity will become shitty if you introduce little sleep, bad food and no exercise - so why would you artificially work with exactly these things to finish your

Awesome list, I'd add the iTunesU course CS193P (Fall 2011) and Treehouse - with these resources, you're more than set! Also: +1 for the interest in the apps you released.

by freshfey 14y ago
Yes, check out Treehouse, very hands-on and updated (explains all the nitty gritty new stuff of iOS 5) (if you like it, I'd appreciate you using my referral link: http://referrals.trhou.se/freshfey - thanks! :))!

In the foundation interview he did with Kevin Rose (and somewhere on Quora I believe) he mentions that he took some CS classes, but didn't really excel in any of them. So it's probably the influence of Google (where he worked on the Marketi

The way I understand it, it means missed days, opportunities and chances. Every day you try to trick the system (meaning life), it teaches you by taking away a day from you. Now it can take that day in a good way (you learnt something) or i

Did you implement some of these techniques into your life? If so, what and how? :)

Love it. I'd add a video which shows the swiping motion, though. P.S. which resources did you use to learn iOS programming?

Beautiful. May I ask what resources you used to learn iOS hacking? Also: What's that font?

Awesome write up, Danielle. I'm heavily rooting for you (because you're a [late] self-taught programmer and have an incredible drive!) and I wish you good luck! Go Refer.ly! :)

Do the investors get to see the company's exact exact numbers (DAU, MAU, Revenue, etc) before they invest? I assume they do, but wouldn't those numbers get to the public somehow?

I agree completely, a little hack for #5 however: Call the courier company and ask for the drivers (direct, cell) number, he can give you a 30 min. window. He even told me that is always better to get the drivers number, because the central

I might get downvoted for this, but don't learn to program if you don't have to. Do it for a few weeks, try it out and if you like it, keep going, otherwise, don't even bother. Try to find your strengths you could bring into a startup after

For those of you who don't know, Sahil applied for YC and didn't get an interview [1] (I think this was before Pinterest and turntable.fm) - a great reminder that YC can help you succeed, but isn't necessary. [1]: http://askolo.com/sahil#4

That's a great accomplishment and I'm very interested in how they are going to top that. There's probably still a lot more room to grow on the franchising and licensing part, but to build a sustainable company you have to constantly build g

How about the niche "ask a mom"? This way new moms or parents in general can ask her about tips (i.e. Tips for traveling with a baby?). If it sticks, she can grow the network of possible moms to ask (which would "require" some kind of blog

Ask Johannes Reck, he's the CEO and Co-Founder of GetYourGuide (HQ in Berlin I believe) and a very smart and friendly entrepreneur. His twitter handle: @JohannesReck. You can mention me, but I don't think that it'll be necessary :)

I don't like the timing effect, but I believe that those are super important questions to ask yourself before attending an interview (be it for/at YC or somewhere else)

I met Derek when I was on vacation in NYC last summer. He took the time to meet with me (a nobody who he just "knew" from twitter) and explained me the big vision behind Greatist. He's crazy passionate and not afraid to make mistakes (which

I'm sorry to hear that. What about taking care of "smaller" bills, like grocery etc. Make a list of what they need and just buy it (without asking them). Brush it off as "you were buying groceries anyway".

Try to apply the 80/20 rule to your customers and ruthlessly cut out all the customers that are costing you more (in terms of money and time) vs. the ones you enjoy having. You already did that with the 8% - tell them to leave, if they don'

The new courses look great, but what's the point of offering even more courses when they can't even start the announced ones (i.e. Anatomy)?

What I don't get: Why doesn't Rocket buy the early competitors in the EU region - like iZettle (a Square competitor)? They have a product ready and entered a few markets already, it shouldn't be that pricey to buy them. The only possible re
