The concept of spending a life being employed is rather new. In the future the majority of people will be business owners... like in the old days. And what I'm saying is that these businesses will likely be software-based, and that tho

I personally don't find the analysis relevant. The assumption is that after taking on massive debt to finance their MBA, the graduates have a few spare hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire a business (the article is not about st

I like "build-you-own-car-tracker" very much. I feel that it really helps explain and accept the long list of readme-like instructions thrown on the landing page. Otherwise one is inclined to judge the project by the standards of

Interesting but there might be a major gotcha. I see on the demo page that they are using Google Maps, however the free version of Google Maps cannot be used for assets tracking as per their terms of service. You'd need a Premier subsc

I get your point, but while I am a big advocate of typescript, I think that the topology of the javascript language is perfectly suited for front-end development. There are a lot of impedance mismatches to deal with in the front end, (javas

When I was employed, I considered that I was working for the Founder/CEO/Director so one of the most important things for me was to be inspired and in-sync with him. He was the one I would make richer, so I had to be happy and pro

This is the bottom line I agree with. I too am currently a member of the school of thought "Expand instead of budget". To the extent that I never save any money, I always invest it (in my business, in productivity tools etc...), a

Looks like the best way to be downvoted on HN is to be critical of either Facebook or Apple - and to a lesser extent MS. That's the only way I ever managed to get downvoted.
