What oppressive part of the world are you living in?

Fuck moving. If the area in Italy you're living in has Mediterranean weather, that beats any job. You can now live and exist on the Internet entirely. Start a company (register in HK or somewhere where tax isn't a bitch), hire gra

Use a VM to try running it on Linux or Win. Ideally, if it is C, I would go with Linux. The best way I would get started is by trying something as simple as making my player move twice as fast as all the rest. It sounds simple in theory, bu

A question to all of your responses: Are you guys basically living in some type of fear of your own government (if you are, as I assume, American and living in the USA)? That would kind of seriously contradict the freedom that your leaders

You should just attempt forcing yourself to do the "dirty" work. We'd all like to be coding the matrix, but most people just need wordpress websites, so just force yourself. I can't give you any magic secret or formula b

This isn't exactly something you are facing in isolation. I think a majority of people who write code and want to be tech entrepreneurs face this. I myself call it: "Build it and they will not come". I think I will dedicate a

"Tenants give their address and rent amount per month in exchange for access to everyone else's data" This is a tricky game-theory scenario. It may work if all the tenants find the value in it. It may also implode for tenants

WhatsApp charges something like $1 a year I think. Adding that up among 100 million + (or so I've heard) equals a decent turnover. They're also great personal data collectors and location trackers, which can help location-driven d

Your pricing is not that much cheaper than $13K...

That's not a bad idea at all. I'm not sure what part of the world you're in, but it seems like recruiters exist in most countries and they definitely dominate jobs boards these days (from what I've seen). I personally do

Have you completed the Ruby/PHP/Python track on codecademy? You say that you are beginner, which is fine, but you should at least have done 1 of those 3 courses already. Also, what is your email? You can use boun.cr to not expose

In our minds, I'm sure we'd all like to think so, but metrics, customer needs and a whole lot of other external factors (especially luck) determine success. Are you working on anything interesting?

Isn't this something similar to Diaspora? social networks are a drag.

You shouldn't create a poll for it, because all those reasons somehow overlap. My biggest reason is the "if I build it, they may not come". I have plenty others like: I really don't want a snake/VC on my back I coul

Just considering it more deeply, I am wondering now how privacy policies are affected if social network accounts/passwords are compromised, which leads to 'linked' accounts being compromised too.

I found someone else here that was also looking for real-world experience. If you need some, contact me. Our teams are almost at the stage of beginning to write the actual code, if you can catch up on the documentation and have your system

Why does this sound too good to be true?

by phantom_oracle 13y ago
What all of the guys above have said is brilliant. I think the key thing you should take away from what they all said (although all of it is valuable in any case) is that no matter how good or mediocre your other skills are, you need to be

Also, the guys who said that NewME accelerator is only for Africans in the USA are wrong. Here is what their site says: "NewME is a mission-driven company, changing the status quo by accelerating underrepresented entrepreneurs around t

I've worked remotely for a US firm before, but not writing code explicitly. Africa is generally a shit continent to be a developer. You need a degree to get a job or show that you're a Zen master at coding. I assume it's beca
