With the high frequency of "Looking For Co-Founder" posts, I was hoping that there would be plenty of success stories around! Please chime in, if you met a key team member (not necessarily a co-founder) or if you know some body who did!

I'm just using a spreadsheet via Google Docs. On one tab, I have broad areas that I want to learn. After that I break that down into weekly milestones based on the book / learning material. This includes projects or specific assignments I'm

I agree with you. By band-width I meant the time and resource I have to devote to this idea. I have a full time job, and in evenings, I have been taking programming classes. So, I didn't think I could support cross platform from the get-go.

Thanks Svetha for your input and encouragement! My dilemma is to build it on iOS or Android? But eitherways - I've gotta start. For me next step is to finalize the wireframes and approach the golf courses!

Thanks - very thoughtful response! I have been burnt before, so validation is definitely #1 priority for me. I'm still in the wire-framing phase, because I at-least want to take these screenshots with me when I talk to the golf courses. But

I'm thinking about a way to call bullshit on such job descriptions. Not sure money is the answer though. What about interesting jobs / startups that can't pay that much? It would be nice to get a crowd sourced mechanism that involves employ

If engineers suck at finding the right job, and companies can't find the right people, then this problem is screaming for better solutions. The challenge here I see is that every employer is looking for 'rockstars', even if the actual job r

I like the way you put it - "Put simply, go to where your potential users are". I would add - Think about not just users, but power users! At-least in the begining you are not looking for a regular joe, but somebody who would benefit the mo

As an engineering manager - I'm all for pursuit of knowledge and excellence. I could care less whether a person has a degree as long as he has the subject matter expertise. Multiple well respected engineers in my group don't have a degree.

Well written, and totally agreed that a degree stamp / piece of paper is not an indicator of the knowledge or passion of the individual. However, I do know that lack of degree is always weighing heavily on the individual who doesn't have it
