.NET has included many mistakes (WCF, Silverlight, etc) - but overall ASP.NET, C#, and especially ASP.NET MVC are solid languages and frameworks and thousands of companies have been able to churn out useful LOB applications on this platform

You can deceive the user pretty easily with content that looks like the main page and prompts them to do something you want them to do. (like login to the parent app even though they are logging into your app, anti-phishing stuff won't take

You're correct - it can do just about anything. Technically it can't make ajax calls back to a domain other than where the page was served from - but you could get around that by just inserting more javascript tags. iFrames do offer a littl

Async JS doesn't block either - and cross-domain scripting rules are strict enough that it is pretty safe. The iframe code has an async Google Analytics script in it - perhaps that is the reason for the iframe (to use google analytics for t

Why use an iframe? Async javascript would be better all around. Also - when you click you name in the badge it opens the link inside the small iframe.

I started out with a 100k in savings from consulting - but the bad habits aren't just personal finance. It's a big leap to jump from selling time for money to investing time for future potential.

What I mean is that you will be so focused and busy on the consulting piece you won't have the time to work on the product - trust me I have been there.

At that point you are basically just an investor in the project - since you will need to focus your time and energy on consulting and won't be able to contribute as a co-founder.

Consulting as bootstrapping can work - but it is very very hard. I did this as well and it's easy for the consulting to eat up more and more of your time. I spent a ton of time in 2010 doing 2 consulting projects to keep money coming in - i

The disadvantage is that you are always trading time for money - you only have so many hours a year (2000 or so) that you can bill. So your earnings max out pretty quickly. Building a startup you are building a company that can grow and end
