The experience gained from working in the industry is definitely useful. I'm looking forward to a time when it is as easy to learn hardware design as it is to learn how to program.

I'm currently working on a hardware startup. The barriers to being able to do this have definitely lowered thanks to CNC (moving to 3D printing soon), Arduino, and lower component costs - not to mention the fact that a lot of cell phone com

I choose a career in tech (graduated from Mechatronics Engineering at Waterloo, worked at Microsoft for 2 years and just got accepted into YC S13). I'm personally offended by your generalization of what you feel is deterring women to enter

Thanks for posting this! I'm working on my next blog post which I've been meaning to get out since Monday, and clearly coming up with reasons to postpone actually finishing it. The idea of giving in to resistance is good motivation to get m

Thanks for all the tips! My team ended up getting an Honourable Mention which we couldn't be happier about. Definitely going to have to start going to more of these!

Having just started diving into front end web development, I'm personally finding java and jQuery super useful. I'm also getting excited by some of the new things HTML5 has to offer.

Ya, we discussed the idea ahead of time but haven't gone into too much detail yet as to who is going to do what. Maybe we will meet tomorrow to clarify things before the actual event. Thanks for the tip!
