I went to General Assembly's Inaugural class in Santa Monica, California. I thought the instructors were incredible, and my fellow students were awesome, and I still keep in touch with some of them. However I do think, and this is my s

"Between building software, riding my bike, drinking great beer, and getting laid every once in a while, I still feel like 25. I don't want it to ever end." I love that line. That is so incredibly inspiring. You really are li

I think there should be more emphasis towards self guided education in other fields. However, in a lot of ways web development and other sectors of programming, is an anomaly. Tech is one of the few true meritocracies left in this world, wh

This article was absolutely fabulous. I come from the community college setting, and this rings all too true for me. At the community college I attended, it was a feeder school for many Orange County students. There was a general feeling of

"Not every important idea is a huge world-changing event. Sometimes building a small company that makes a big difference to a small number of people is more important." Totally agree. DHH actually gave a talk about this subject at

This is just my two cents, take it with a grain of salt as I am simply a humble observer peering into your life, with the little information you have given me. I dont think you are lazy; I think you are afraid to fail. Thus far in your life

Disclaimer: I am a student at General Assembly WDI in Santa Monica, and I am also looking to go to Hack Reactor in San Francisco when this is completed. I totally agree you DO NOT need to go to these programs. Everything that they teach is

That's cool that you think job boards should be destroyed or whatever. But to shamelessly plug your idea to another users show HN thread is not cool. I am assuming he spent many days/weeks/months etc working on this site and

I was absolutely the LEAST technical person I knew. I realized I wanted to do this last year, when I was in college studying Business & Finance. I was working on a side project/start up and realized I wanted to code so bad, and I w

I get what she is doing. I know it must be hard, as a mom, to watch your little girl work hard to build her castles (little kids get so attached to things) only to have "some boy" repeatedly knock it down. However, I have a real p

Pain is good to have in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is kind of like being a "starving artist"; you have to get off on suffering and just know in your gut that everything will work out. I, personally, wouldn't go as far

"I went to school for 4 years and worked for 7.5 all to save up about 1.5 million" Ok, good start. Savings are very important to have. But, don't forget, 1.5 million is A LOT of money. Even if you were saving 100k a year, you

Steve Jobs had such a way with words. I personally love this quote: "This is not a field where one paints a painting which will be looked at for centuries...This is a field where one does his work and in ten years it is obsolete."

This is purely on your suggestion of "what you know to be the shortest thing". This may, or may not, seem a bit outlandish but there is a reason it is so lucrative. So my answer would be porn. I read a figure that said something l

Not that I know the guy, but he comes across as the type who just doesn't care. I respect him for what he did at Napster, what he attempted to do at Plaxo (as some start ups today have, in a way, picked up where he left off), what he helped

Thanks for sharing your story. I am actually interested in doing something like this as well. Not that you have to, obviously, but a follow up blog post (company or otherwise) on how you did this (obviously leaving out "crucial" details as

I totally agree. I get incredibly uncomfortable in those situations. Forced small talk, fake/made up emotions and laughs, awkward moments, and perceived camaraderie that is really just superficial. The bitch about it is, you can't say that

This is just my opinion but it works for me: When I have something I am interested in doing (side project, bigger blog post, or whatever) I just get out a piece of paper, write down the basic premise, and let it percolate in my mind a littl
