How is this new? The first time I setup my own linux server was at my parent's house, so I could write a crawler to collect market data in the hopes of applying some AI technique for market predictions. This was 10 years ago. It's

After grad school I moved to NYC, and your description was apt there: a place for millionaires or a sea of fresh graduates who'd willingly or unwillingly have to move on after a couple years. After three years I moved to SF, but in ter

There's nothing special about programming. Everyone wanted to be a trader and banker until 2008. Everyone also wanted to buy a house or be a real estate agent until 2008 too. And everyone wanted to be a web developer until 1999. People

I might be the only one thinking this wasn't a painful but kind of novel/artistic presentation. But onto the substance: no industry needs more of a full stack startup than US hospitals and the healthcare industry. There are some t

This is helpful, thanks for sharing. We've struggled with where to integrate with first as most integrations I've seen have been gratuitous, but #slack is a solid possibility. Curious about the API support, how would you use it?

Thanks, and good questions. Here's a first pass: - Not yet: But I'm a big fan of Rich Hickey's thoughts on data and time if that gives any clues on where I'd like to take it ( http://www.infoq.com/presenta

For me, it comes down to a couple things: 1. If it feels like drudgery, don't force yourself. 2. Be patient , and look for inspiration. A couple years ago, I had lost interest in learning new languages or side projects. I picked up woo
