i found out that most times my intuition is right, even when rationally thinking about something would come up with a different decision. but i guess this strongly depends on your intuition :)

i think, you can´t do everything all at once. since programming is quite abstract, perhaps it would be enough to do some basic stuff like variables, ifs and basic output. most important (to me): always show the results, like run the program

ist it only php that you don´t like? or generally the web stuff? (personally i don´t like fiddling with wordpress too. it doesn´t feel like the right tool, most times) anyway your stomach (at least mine) is more often right than one might t

i think that depends on your product. what is your target group? is there a pattern on how wealthy this group is? is the service very specialized? when a/b testing, interpreting the data correctly is key. take your time and try stuff...

that depends on what kind of developer you´re looking for. if you´re looking for a very experienced pro (which costs you a lot) i doubt those are the right ones. but if you´re looking for someone who can learn things from your (hopefully) e

hi! when the site loads, the facebook buttons need some time more to load (of course). but they don´t seem to be in a container, so some elements jump when the buttons are rendered. the signup button is very hard to find. you could make it

another thing i just saw: when clicking on the fb icon open a new window for it. the share on fb page look weird fullscreen, and many users won´t find the way back to your site.

looks quite good to me. :) some suggestions: let the background image fade to black at the edges left and right, add eg 100px left and right for the fade, and center it. this way even very wide screens have a nice looking centered backgroun

several things come to my mind watching the site: 1. i could not figure out, what exactly the site is about. please write a short sentence or paragraph, on what users can expect. ...i just saw that you have this information in the title tag

after more than 2 years working as freelancer and (hopefully) soon starting my own business i still consider myself kind of inexperienced. not because i´m a bad programmer, but because there are so many awesome people writing software. so k

i know just too good what you mean. if you ask me, the real question is not what to do when you can´t sleep, but what to do before you get to sleep. as you say, you´re thinking about your product(s), features, business plans, the next steps

i´d try to avoid pills. if you have pain, your body tries to tells you something - so don´t ignore it. i got exactly the some problem as you - and no solution that i stick with. some months ago i read a lot about this topic. one of the thin

personally i think that there are so many sites writing about web apps. so i guess it would be quite difficult to get people to your site. i had a look at your landing page. there are lots of links on the page, but i couldn´t find a single

to be honest, as a developer i wouldn´t use it beause it´s so inefficient to edit text on touchscreens. if i wanna work on code or think about it, i mostly take a sheet of paper and write stuff down when i´m not at a computer. nevertheless

maxawaytoolong could be right. very often people (read "me") feel like have no energy because of too little physical activity. your body always gives you what it thinks it need (=which is what you demand, or not, from it). so doing some spo

i´d say this strongly depends on what language you want to proram and which software you wanna write. a very good basis (though not really programming) is html and css. these languages are the basis for many software related projects. and f

you´re right. but real business people also know the technology to some extent already. so, the posted advice is for people who do not have that knowledge yet.

that´s funny. for me it´s just the other way round: if there´s music while i´m coding i can´t concentrate very well and always listen to the music instead of coding. :) but it´s possible that this is because i´m a musician too. i always won

for me it's about speed. you can do almost every task you need as a programmer way faster with vim, than with a conventional editor. if you have some programming experience you can change its behaviour to exactly the way you like it. http:

hi! the question is, why you can´t finish your designs? a very common problem is perfectionism. if you´re trying things out, change stuff all times and never are really content with the results, then you´re propably a perfectionist (which i
