Ironically, we used Airtable + Zapier as our core backend when we launched Nugget... It worked great!

Not having a degree, this was of the biggest issues I didn't know I didn't know. I encountered it after about 6 years on the Job. I landed a role in a blue chip and had get a great boss who taught me the foundational theory I was

I have made the change you suggested. I ran the post past my smartest friends who read HN, they all said it looked good. We just missed the privacy aspect and also in trying to be funny I went at it too hard.

OP Here: For the record. Corey an myself have reached out to each other and are getting along great. We've setup a call that we're both looking forward to having. We already learned stuff from each other. Regarding privacy: I deep

As recommended I have changed the title of the post to: Someone Created a Startup Just like Mine and Here Is Why That Is Awesome And changed the link to: https://blog.nugget.one/upstart/someone-created-a-startup-ju...

Hey Cory, nice response, thanks :) Sure, I'll send you an email and let's hook up and have a chat I have some thoughts about your vault idea. On another note, I'm really curious to know how are the ideas worded in such a simi

by jv22222 10y ago
Ok, so how can I do that? I think it's going to change the actual link of the blog... and then this submission here will go dead? Any advice on how to technically change it but keep the HN submission live?

Please compare the ideas that are sent out. There is a quantifiable similarity that can only have resulted from him using the same hit process as mine. That level of similarity can't happen by serendipity. But, as I mentioned in the po

For comparison: Mine: I work in the eCommerce/re-seller business. In particular I sell products on Amazon. Specifically Amazon FBA. As my business is scaling up it is becoming more difficult to keep track of what we scoured for product

Don't you think it's a bit unlikely that the wording of the opportunity would be exactly the same unless he had used my mechanical turk hit process? Seems unlikely that could happen in the scenario you describe.

I recomend the first change you make is to consider working remotely: https://weworkremotely.com/ This will give you a great salary and a lot of freedom which you can use to start exploring other aspects of life that are mo

But, are there so many thousands of those types of people that it needs to be broadcast as a blog post? I mean, couldn't he walk around the halls of YC and pat a few people on the shoulder and say that same thing? Not trying to be face

Um. Well. I'm not being anonymous. So you, who are not prepared to share anything about your success, are saying that I am the scam artist. http://techzinglive.com - co host http://modernteacher.com - cto http:

Tell that to the 250+ entreprenures I've seen get no where. Perhaps you're gifted at this? In which case you should share the knowledge about what you have done. It sure as shit wasn't "Build something. Add stripe. Watch

At no point does the OP say a friend made millions. There was the mention of an unrelated mobile app guru who had made millions from mobile apps. But that was simply to point out the irony, that even THAT guy, thoguht it was better to build

> Build a product. Add Stripe. Profit. Not exactly rocket science. I don't think you realize just how much of a naive statement that is. That is honestly, genuinely, terrible advice that does not take in to account that building a

Aha, that's the part they we (nugget) help with :) That said, it's still not easy, and requires a fair amount of annoying work that stretches one outside of their comfort zone.

There is none. Not sure why you think that nugget needs to be software driven? The article is talking about pluggio a previous SaaS app I built.

Yo, hey, thanks for the kind words. I'm sooo sorry that you had to stop listening to TechZing because of "the other guy" talking for hours and hours ;)

I might be being a bit dumb, but I'm not sure what you mean by any of this... :( Does it help if I show some of my links of the things I've done? http://techzinglive.com - Podcast Host https://modernteacher.

This is so true, and it made huge differences in my day job as it helped me see the bigger picture. It also meant that my contributions in board meetings and such were able to shift outside of the usual CTO role.

Nugget founder here. Our track record is terrible if you mean revenue generating saas apps. In fact in six months we currently have zero members of more than 250 that have achieved any revenue. But, that is because all of our members are st

Well, that was a first attempt. A lot of people spend a lot longer than 4 years not making a first attempt. Then, when you know how to do something you can be faster at it next time round. But, in all honesty, I don't know anyone who b

Well, it's more like "don't get rich, slow". But interested to understand why it feels that way. I personally HATE internet marketery stuff.
