Congrats on the launch, guys! I like this in theory, but in reality the most important thing when hiring is not how good they look on paper, but how well a developer fits in and works with a team. If they're a team player, how well they can

I think the main difference lies in the end goal of the student. We train people that are looking to become software engineers. People that are looking to dedicate the rest of their life to creating software. The Starter League is more suit

We ( http://devbootcamp.com/ ) host the Bloc guys in our office, and work with them on a ton of cool stuff! I see them in constant Skype calls with their students, discussing all kinds of cool things. These guys are great.

Currently I don't have an idea I'd REALLY love to work on. Something I'm passionate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about. So until then, keep gaining skills. YC is definitely something I'd love to do.

I feel at home here in San Francisco. There are a multitude of companies I'd love to work for.

I'd love to apply for the O-1, but I'm not sure I'm ready yet. No other visas are suitable.

Site is down, here is the text: Every now and then someone hits the jackpot. An easy concept, maybe an app or a small website that makes a ton of money. Or one of those 10 year overnight successes. Congratulations! Seriously! I'm really hap

People were discussing and asking questions about a book at a constant rate, and I would catch up every few hours. It's not hyperbole.

Affiliate links could make Pinterest an insane amount of money. Did you know that when someone clicks an Amazon affiliate link, everything they buy in a 24 hour period the affiliate gets a cut of? There are a LOT of people using Pinterest,

That was very much part time, I could knock out 100 tweets in 10 minutes. I would block them in 4-5 periods a day. It's incredibly quick, easy work.
