When you don't love what you do, you work for the government. I care about my retirement too but if that is your end goal, then you clearly don't care about the work you do. All you want to do is just go to work, come home, retire and die.

I'm not worried it would damage my reputation. 9 out of 10 ideas are poor ideas to begin with but some evolve into good or great ideas eventually. Even the ones that get funded don't have great ideas, the best company they have funded is ng

My submission is in there. It didn't have any specific stuff luckily and I'm sure that's why we didn't get funded. We didn't have a solid idea. Now my company is rolling along really well with a solid business plan and plenty of apps coming

This is a new idea but the market is extremely small. None of the those applications are that difficult to replicate. I might be willing to pay for some OpenGL app with a lot of documentation but I don't see this really turning into a good

He's a great business mind but a seemingly terrible leader. If I hire someone I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure they keep their job (provided they are doing their job and doing it well). All he's doing at this point is con

I was the first member for a brand new coworking studio in Chico, CA (about 3.5 hours NE of SF) and I love it. I have an office at home with everything I could need but there is nothing like being around people to help you out. Just by join

I just got out of the Navy as an enlisted Deck Seaman and my brother is an officer and my business partner. My younger brother is also enlisted in the Coast Guard right now. Let me say that it's possible to run a small, single person busine

The only feasible way I see to compete against craigslist is to be local. Start with one small city, get your bearings and understand the market there and then move into a larger market one by one. I would recommend against SF but Sacrament

It's not reasonable to ask to be ranked. The best programmers are those who know there is an answer to every problem. The worst ones are the ones that care about salary, lines of code, and other meaningless crap. Just remember, the CS field

I'm in the Navy and I work on average, 14 hour days. That doesn't include underway periods which are anywhere between 16 hour days and 22 hour days. I am saying this in complete seriousness and honesty. It sucks most of the time but the rea

Overall a good article that brings up many great points. I find her first requirement of Substantial work history on a large well known product or hundreds of thousands of users or a PhD to be kind of ridiculous. She's saying in order to do

So let me ask everyone who reads this, why would you not want to work for Scribd? As clear by this ad, Scribd doesn't seem to be your typical company (which is a good thing). The boss is someone social (ie. actually wants to talk to people
