Of course, having residual income from an actual product would be better... I started my business career with a great product sales failure and since then I stayed at (quite successful) high cost services, even in a product-oriented industr

"So, you need to pare down your problem space/feature set to the absolute minimum that provides real value to people." This is very useful advice, it's a good rule to have in mind. I'm actually doing development, but I don't do active promo

Thanks a lot for your useful advice. And you are right, hiring promotion / PR / sales people is very, very hard for small companies like this (at least I could never hire anybody for that, and I've been doing business for some years now).

My interest is to keep doing development, not consultancy. But I have to offer a permanent service if I want new clients to contact me both at times I'm busy and when I'm not. I'm trying consultancy as that kind of service, and while I'm no

Thanks for your advice; I've been raising rates for development but what I'm afraid, is that sometimes I'm very busy with projects for months, and then I just can't work in other projects... And if other clients ask for development at that

Thank you for your good advice. I already have clients and also word of mouth is working ok for me; I would definitely scale if I found a way to do it without wasting the chance to do with my time what I love: creating, solving, thinking (f

This responds to a clear need: some clients need to develop a given application, and they have the team to develop it, but they don't know how to solve a specific problem, or what is the best approach for the development (ie, which tools to

That doesn't reply my question (and I already knew most related discussions, I've been here for a long time). I'm asking not how you get over being solo and construct a bigger company, or how you maintain motivation, etc. I'm asking: if the

I use it a lot, for internal stuff only. But it's very useful for me. Is there any better alternative? (jottit is king in being simple and fast)

I worked on real time analysis for webcam-based interfaces. Nothing very complex, but fast. These days I'm not working on that but I'm going to go back to image dev as soon as I can.

#1 is my big reason for writing code. I love the feeling of abstract world creation.

I think it's not a post about minimalism, but about simple living, so it doesn't matter much if the article is long. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_living But maybe it's ironic anyway, I'm not sure. Edit: the article also starts with

Actually, I don't understand how this article is related to this site (HN). Was it posted here just because it's funny? Or is there any lesson on it?

I'm not convinced yet, but I don't want to make this argument longer. It wasn't my intention to make you or anybody lose time (sorry if I did, truly!), I just thought you were pointing something that failed to be true and that I could corre

I don't see how this relates to the original argument. It doesn't help explain you can or can't say why something isn't true. And anyway, it wouldn't be easier to respond "why is the color of the programmer's shirt important ...?" than its

This is semantics, it depends on what meaning you give the word "why"... you are talking about why as in causes here, but I don't think that was what you were asked about when somebody said "why isn't speed important?" "Boston is not in Okl
