Thanks for the reply and apologies for the delay in mine. Busy trying to cobble together my MVP :) You layout a glorious strategy for proving/disproving a hypothesis. As Steve Blank said, "get out of the building [and talk to cust

hah fun read. #3 is a stretch - the car will obviously drop me in the most convenient location possible and then circle the block or go park itself. I'd love to see driverless cars just for #6. Not because I want to work more but simpl

Nice overview of the process! Had an "Oatmeal-esque" feel to the animations. On a more serious note, who's tired of big organizations pretending to be Agile while demanding all the process/overhead/documentation of

The toughest part will be getting your foot in the door at a new firm since your resume will read as a demotion. That said, while more difficult to describe on your resume, it's all about the story you tell. In your post, your desire t

It's already been mentioned but giving them the discount (provided you don't immediately need the revenue) in exchange for a 24 mo contract seems ideal. I believe the longest you can contract would be 24 mos (12 mo w/ 12 mo a

Do it! Uni is the perfect time to do this, most of all because you will never have as much free time as you in college. In terms of finding clients, start calling potentials - generate a list of leads, rank in terms of potential and priorit

Gone are the days of billionaires buying sports teams, buying newspapers and blogs still seems to be in but not quite as hot as space exploration. With SpaceX and Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin sort of seems like a "me too" venture.

You could try browsing sites like UpWork to check out available projects - maybe these requirement more commitment than you'd like but you'd get an idea of what's available/what others are working on. You could also try

The simpler tools definitely encourage adoption. On a larger project I work on, we use Rally - most abominable platform I've had the displeasure of using - solely because the project manager is able to assign "points" to user

Yeah I agree with specifying which are more meaningful for the app/product. For my larger team we've done just that but the GA specialist is pretty gung-ho about tracking everything -- the cost is developer time and effort -- and

Love the simplicity of PadMapper. Haven't used them since the last time I searched for a pad but I'm glad to see they're still around -- and with a relatively new web interface it seems (not to mention an Android app!).
