I wish you the best of luck, I think the success of Heroku certainly indicates something similar is needed for node.js (although perhaps they will do something there soon anyway..). My main concern is your name. Heroku can move towards node

Wow, awesome list, good work sir.

In my personal experience, I haven't deliberately forced ideas, however that could potentially work. One thing may be to become aware of when you have ideas - I've found I have my best ideas when I'm not sat at my laptop. The ideas for my t

Thanks Tim :) Great to hear someone who's been maintaining the "working in waves" method for longer than me. Not sure I could do it for long though! You raise some really good points - especially glad you mentioned investments, since I'm st

by joelg87 16y ago
I understand exactly what you mean, and perhaps it was bad to make it seem like it's a binary paid work or startup distinction between the waves. I guess the reality is that it is more about which is the focus. I agree that there is likely

by joelg87 16y ago
You're absolutely right, and another point is that once you start the "work to make money" wave it is often difficult to get out of it in order to do the "startup" wave. "Nights and Weekends" / "on the side" is another way to bootstrap, I'l

Thanks! Oh, that's a bug then, it shouldn't be redirecting you unless you click a paid plan. Did you click a paid plan and then go back and click free? Will look into it. Glad you like the concept and can see the value, hope you enjoy using

Thanks. Yep, it's certainly targeted at a niche. I'm quite glad to get polarising feedback so far, some people really love it and others don't see the point. Better than indifference :)

Love the ideas here. Thanks!

Love it! Think that's just what I need, as it takes me around 20 minutes to walk each way to the gym, so I want to be as efficient as I can whilst I'm there. There's also some stuff I could do from home the days I don't go to the gym by the

Thanks for sharing that, it's really good to hear I'm not the only one. Gladly, this is something I've just noticed in the last two weeks and I think I can turn things around pretty fast now if I just fit in the exercise. Good to hear that

Wow. That is a great read. “What’s the harm in keeping it flexible?” $7.5M in harm, that’s what! "flexibility" is rarely desired in programming!

I must say, I've gone back and forth with templating engines for PHP. I've never really bought it, but I do like the experience I had with haml in Ruby. Recently, I really like the look of Moustache Logic-less templates - http://mustache.g

Great, thank you. I'm going to dive in and give homebrew a proper go.

by joelg87 16y ago
Thanks, I'll definitely give it a go. Have you tried homebrew too? It seems like people are moving from macports to homebrew.

Do you find homebrew better than macports?

Who's going for the end of November? I'm building a new business right now and I'm aiming to ship it before the end of November. I have my MVP live already (landing page & pricing page), and I'm collecting some metrics which are showing

I'm not sure that 5000 number is so deliberately chosen. Take the Tweet from Mark Zuckerberg in March 2009: "I find it funny that it's on Digg that I'm here. I'm looking forward to when people can have unlimited connections on Facebook soon

Hi :) I'm one of the co-founders. This is a Launch48 project, i.e. we started it yesterday morning, from scratch. (48 hours to launch a web startup). If someone has found a co-founder by now I would be over the moon. The main idea is that s

I'd disagree with that: I often find Twitter the best way to spend 30 minutes when I have a spare 5 minutes :)
