It's fine to express an opinion, but for the sake of others, could you state why you believe they are so great? And if you really want to help, please state other frameworks, IDE's or text editors you have used.

In what capacity are you working with the devbootcamp grad? What kind of hiring / working experiences have you had with other developers? On a surface glance, it seems like you develop rails MVP's via coder.ly?

I used to spend $7k / mo living in Manhattan. Now I have a live in gf, and we spend ~$3k/mo living in the same place in Manhattan. The extra $1k/mo from coreymass is probably from the difference in rent. Pretty similar lifestyle change: no

Your $35,000 / yr is no where near the peak. If you are average to below average as a developer then getting a degree could help (entry level out of college seems to be ~$80,000 in NYC/SF). If you have some heavy contributions to F/OSS or a

Short answer: slums or (tax liens or auctions for slum houses) These types of returns are certainly possible. I bought my share of $10k to $50k townhouses with $800 to $1500 / mo rent. With sub $100k houses, typically it will be difficult t

So there are algorithms for sort, search, recursion, divide and conquer, etc, but a lot of the algorithms are baked into the functionality of high level languages and when you follow best practices, so you don't really need to know the algo

Snapchat succeeds because (not despite) it is not Facebook. Snapchat lets young people communicate without parental oversight. Text messages, phone logs, facebook accounts can all be seen by parents. But Snapchat's "self destruct" messages

During your lunch break or commute home, plan out your priorities to get done at home. It might be something like 30 min guitar, read up on Google's BigTable papers for 30 min, check twitter/fb/gmail for 30 min, and then goof off guilt free

You can also look at some curriculums from these rails shops. I think Rails is a good choice because ruby is a very productive language, there's a pretty proactive and helpful community, and it doesn't seem too difficult to get an entry lev

Even though interns may not cost any money, they are not free. Whenever you have interns (marketing or otherwise), be prepared to invest a bunch of time teaching them, making mistakes which may cost you time and or money, and be prepare for
