I'm not sure that learning a new language while developing for final product is a good idea, it will slow you down unless you are an expert. So I think it depends on what you want: decent website right now = old language; really powerful st

Do any of you guys use it? I do, and so far it has worked. I created a smart list that shows all the tasks I have completed so far because if you only make it show you what you have to do, it can be overwhelming, but if you use it to show a

I can't see anyone at success mountain. I think there should be one guy there.

Oops, my bad then. I thought you had a reason to recommend Ruby. Learn some basic hacking in (insert a programming language (that's not VB) here, whatever the paradigm). :-)

Parsers (they are new to me).

Why Ruby on Rails? Python is also worth learning.

Yes, a start-up without a guy that kicks ass coding is doomed. Start-ups provide people with better technology, so it would make sense to know a little about stuff like software/servers/internet. Actually, all other things being equal, the

I have two methods: One, think of what you have to do and find the smallest possible task that's still interesting (e.g read the first paragraph of a book, write the cornerstone function of your program and leave the menus for later) and

I care because I was under a lot of pressure the other day. I do work a lot on my own. I too know only of a handful of guys who are more willing to learn than me.

"A hacker is someone who hacks"... bah.

I don't get it. :(

Thumbs up for being in Spanish (I'm peruvian).

I really meant that, no need to down-vote me. I was thinking about color combinations for the front page and stuff like that.

Not necesarily boring. What if your dream is to become the best body-builder? "Fun" and "boring" are relative. Some consider fun to go out every Saturday to hit a disco, but I don't really like them (way too noisy). On the other hand, I con

I too would have liked the article to mention that, it would be useful. But it's probably out of it's scope, though.

by ptn 19y ago
I don't like the way the article presents hard work: "the very best rise because they take great pains to maximise that gift". Pain? That way, no one's going to try. The part in which they say "that's a task not everyone's up to" is parti

"If people use languages with mutable variables they have to know how pointers work" -> wrong. They don't. That's the idea of a high-level language, to hide how the computer interprets your instructions so you can focus on giving instru

by ptn 19y ago
See? At first you just want a simple language to give instructions to the computer, so you can worry about learning how to come up with the algorithms that you need to translate.

A linked list in which every node is a void pointer. But that would be kind of the same. What I meant is that knowing how you would have to implement each of your high-level data structures in C helps you understand some of the problems you

I learned in Pascal too. It's not bad.
