You should definitely focus on solid side projects. You don't have any prior experience as a developer so the only way to prove to someone that you can code is to show them.

I just downloaded the app. Videos don't play automatically. You have to click the 'play' button. Doesn't look like it repeats once you play either.

If the US govt decides to prosecute Edward Snowden, doesn't that basically confirm every single accusation is true? So far there's been a lot of denials from all parties involved. The govt is in a tough position.

I think you should go for it. I'm currently in a similar situation. I started learning how to program about a year ago and even got a job at a startup. I really want to learn iOS dev because just being a RoR dev will limit my career path

There's always 2 sides to this argument. CS grads will say codeschool grads don't know enough CS fundamentals. On the other hand non-CS grads will say CS grads only know CS theory and don't actually know how to build products.

If you want a very simple solution, check out AWS Elastic Beanstalk. It's really easy to setup and you just need 1 simple command to deploy (git aws.push). Not sure how big your app is but they give you 1 year free of a micro instance too.

I can't wait to cancel my TWC internet. I'm paying $58/mth for a 20mbps plan but the max speed I can get is ~11-12 mbps. Can't wait for google fiber to come so I can dump TWC.

I agree with so much of what you said in your article. I'm trying to make it in LA for a lot of the same reasons why you're working in Canada.

> At the end of the day, my advice to Canadian startups is to stay in Canada I think this can apply to many cities outside of the silicon valley bubble.

This is what happens when an employee KNOWS he/she can't be fired. The USA needs to seriously look at how they handle government employees. They get away with too much bs because it's hard for them to get fired.
