   I think this extends towards a lot of issues. The "Whoa, don't be so serious, it's just a joke" card gets played time and time again to hide people's insensitivity to others.

   Thanks for this post. I think it's really great that you pointed out that working 24/7 does not guarantee success but rather how well you use your time. 4-day work weeks can be just as effective as 5-day work weeks. At some point, everyone

   It does happen - I got turned down by startups here in Canada because I'm not experienced enough :)

   Love the idea - I had the same but didn't follow through on it. Love the clean design and tells you exactly how it works. Good luck!

   I was planning to go for Python with Django back-end and the usual HTML/CSS/JS front-end :)

   Thanks. So far, I've had several people mention to go for it. I'm wondering if I should build out an MVP or work on creating just a marketing page with a screenshot on what the product looks like?

   Thanks. I've just added the link to the post. Any advice on the marketing copy?

    Thanks for sharing it! Just wondering, what's your inspiration for creating the puzzle? Did you have to design your own puzzle or it came from somewhere else? Haven't had the chance to test it out yet but will do when I get home (does it wo

    Thanks! At this stage of the game, I've heard great things from the founders and they have had a successful exit before. I was planning on meeting up with them anyway even I've decided not to be employee #1 for now. Is it fair to ask about

    Thanks! I do have a fear that the paychecks might be coming late and I have several dependents as well as student loans to repay which I think would be too risky for me at this stage of my life. I do appreciate your comments though. How can

    It's not a lot of money earned per app but good apps have been able to achieve decent success. There's no reason why the hardware manufacturers should ensure every single developer that signs up makes a decent living. Make an app, market it

    Thanks for the story. It reminded me of why sometimes there are things more important than career success. While I'm nowhere near having kids or a wife, I've always thought about the tradeoffs between them while constantly reminding myself

    Thanks Nick! I definitely agree that there's a lot of potential with the site - especially since your maintenance costs are only for server and photos. Once the data is in there, it doesn't really have to change much either right?

    Hi Nick, Saw your site when it first launched and really loved the look and feel of it. Just curious about the numbers for the site - i.e. maintenance costs, monthly visitors, etc. How much would you value the site? I'm sad to see that you'

    Definitely would love to hear more about it as well as the viability of going through that route as a single founder. Thanks!!

    Love the idea. Simple solution that solves a problem. Just wondering how long did it take you to hash everything out?

    Congratulations Nathan! I'm extremely encouraged to hear about your success - especially since it's an application that addresses a real need and helps create value in society. I'm really inspired that you can do good in this world and make

    That's an awesome first attempt. Definitely amazed at the polish of it all. Would you mind letting me in on your secret on how you got it so polished? I'm a developer so I haven't a clue how to make it look as nice as you have. P.S. Don't h

    Hi, Thanks for your feedback. I realized that I was rash in just putting up the copy. You and several other people have also mentioned that didn't get what's going on. I'll definitely have to spend some time to work on it and I'll definitel

    Thanks for the feedback. I do agree that I have been thinking about having the flat rate and being able to limit on a certain amount. About "one flat rate", do you mean to say that it would make more sense to say how many minutes you would

    Thanks, Ian. Yes, I definitely agree that I need to flush out why I'm an advantage over the rest.

    I definitely do think there is a demand for it. How big is the demand? - I'm not sure but like you mentioned, Urchin is crazily priced and at our company, we are using an extremely old product that was poorly written. We'd love to switch it

    I was originally thinking about a pre-paid calling "card" where you load up your balance online and you just dial one of our numbers, enter a PIN and dial the number you'd like to call. But then, I thought it might be interesting to go for
