The same way one learns about anything. Learn it, do it, teach it. Learn it by reading a book on it, or taking a class. Do it by putting into place the practices you just learned about, actually doing the user tests and see what people thi

"As for enforcement, the FCC can easily enforce something like this." They're too busy looking for nipples and swear words.

There are already far too many laws in the US. We should probably focus on making less things illegal rather then more. When making things illegal, there is a lot of overhead involved. Take your examples for instance. 1) Make it illegal fo

You get good at interviews the same way you get good at coding... do it a lot. Start applying to lots of companies, especially companies where you do not or are not sure you want the job. Go with the goal of getting practice interviewing i

Good question. GAE isn't without problems of its own, but at first glance looks good enough to scale to millions of users. I've never had a project that has done that, but it seems the time to move on is when you run into issues with it t

Ah the melancholy of the corporate life. Paid well enough to make you sit around bored and not accomplish much. I've been through that. It's time for a change, I wish I had spent my 20's working for startups or forming my own instead of

Google App Engine. Until you've proven your business concept and scaled up, this will abstract the server away so you don't need to worry about it.

I don't think you leaving your job factors into how much ownership you should get, as long as this means all of the cofounders are putting in full time at the startup. If you are infusing cash into the company, you could first ask the other

Just say no. That document is far too vague, so you go out and do something else later that has nothing to do with what you spoke about in this meeting and 10 years from now when you are facebook big they come back and sue you for using the

Seems to me like internships that are just resume padding don't seem like they'd be of much help to someone looking to be an entrepreneur. Internships at a start-up would yield much better results, as you would get to see what happens in a

Two things come to mind: 1) Program again, as much as possible. Like any other skill, you forget details of things as you spend time away from programming. Sharpen up again by programming some more. 2) Vitamin D is key in being able to fo

Because making it illegal does not make it go away. It certainly hasn't made it difficult to get for those that want it bad enough. Instead, it drives casual users away that know how to control themselves away.

Instead of copying and pasting jquery into your js, you could pull it from google's CDN, that way it would be cached for a lot of people and trustworthy. Well, trustworty-ish. :)

Drop the mention of pornhub. You have plenty of companies listed there and don't need it. You risk alienating people by having it. Unless you are applying to a porn company, in which case you can keep it. Also, you list your title as bac
