How about this: If you are in the YC club, you and your cofounders, the idea, prototype, business model, user base have passed muster. Your team is in a startup hub like SFO/BOS. You will have the backing, connections and resources of YC. O

Before you get too excited about this article, realize that if you are not in the YC club, this article was not intended for you. In other words, the warm encouraging phrases have qualifiers - you have to figure out what they are and if the

it is highly possible you may get the idea first but an experienced larger company will almost always execute better than you. No easy answers. BTW ideas are worthless only if you dont want to allocate a value to them. http://juwo-works.b

still poor thinking (sorry again). - what about bugs that dont belong to one file; and those that are across modules? - to edit or reprioritise, you must open up the files again. Imagine making a Project Manager or business guy learn vi, no

I dont want to hear advice from people who are successful only at writing and selling books that tell you how to be successful. including Dale Carnegie, Steven Covey etc. I would rather hear it from those who have done - Marc Andreesen and

The British came centuries later in 1600. They unified the country, brought a common language, railways, administration etc. Many people say that far greater damage was wrought by the many Muslim emperors and invasions. By the time the Brit

most immigrants come here because their home country had a much lower standard of living - aside from the opportunity. So I am surprised that you took so much trouble; surely Britain has an equivalent standard of living?

This is the other extreme - which I didnt mention in the op. I agree that copying code is wrong - but what about a good idea that you come up with, or a neat design or technique in code? It seems unfair given that doctors, scientists, mar

Is it ethical to keep a copy of the code or designs you did for your employer, for your reference?

Just curious, did you do this independently as a 'small business', or was it as a consultant through a 'solutions provider'? If independently, your business skills must be excellent - to get so many clients who would not choose an off the s
