Thanks for the advise. I too think that partnership with a designer is a great thing. Things keep changing and you need more design help when you are iterating through ideas.

How does the partnership work in this case? % of revenues? % of the project/venture? What if the designer gets too busy with other projects? Sorry, I am being curious because most of us hackers are in the same boat when it comes to design.

The post mentions Google is still the same entrepreneurial company it was when I started, encouraging Googlers to take on big ideas and high-risk, high-reward opportunities. I do not know what the current salary/options numbers are but is

Honest question to fellow hackers and entrepreneurs: Do we have to take every opportunity to put down your competition? Are there not enough venues to market yourself? Wouldn't a simple post like this be enough? LivingSocial does not guara

By meeting frequently with the constant push of “have you launched?” and then “can I see your chart?”, PG and Harj helped us focus on making the right trade-off to do what it takes to make a great product but not a perfect one. What char

There will always be things you want to tweak in your resume to showcase your skills in the best possible light. I would say, get any resume with all your skills in it and float it around....starting with Groupon. Goodluck.

Not the energy level but US has great advantage at giving second chances. The press who put out these glory pieces will not think twice about writing flame articles if the company/person is down and out. However, there are many businesses,

Kareem, I may not be the intended audience for your webapp but I couldn't figure out what the term 'booking' calendar meant. May be you could put up a few situations when someone would use your app to help understand your app better.

I am sure this is an elaborate joke. One of the ad that shows up on the landing page is this: Arrogant garage - Where customers are treated like friends.

I am Indian and grew up in rural india. Have not seen it in 2010 but I still doubt that the people who lack electricity and sanitation are cruising the internets.

According to the web site PictureofHealth.com, "Most places on Earth, the internet is more accessible than electricity, clean water, or basic sanitation." I have a hard time believing that statement. May be so, but not to the people who lac

If it is very very hard to be a good manager, it doesn't matter if your manager is Indian or not. right? I've been on H1-B and I didn't think about my H1-B on a day to day basis to be a lousy manager/person. On that list could be any number

File access and monitoring is possible in Java. Using Java will make your app OS independent though. I am not a Python person but I am sure it is possible. It all depends on how much stuff you want to take on, getting back into Programming.

If you can, rewrite the application using Python/Java that u are learning (Ruby, if you want to catch up). May be you can refine the idea and do a better job now. I admire your path. Goodluck and keep us posted on your progress.

If you are a startup, leave government contracts for someone else to figure out. By the time it comes thru and makes you a boat load of money, you will be long dead (as a company). This was said by PG or someone definitely smarter than me.
