I'm based in the UK, and last year spent a couple months dealing with recruiters whilst trying to find a new position. I dealt with several companies, and got several job interviews. All the positions were as described, and I never got any

This looks like a really nice way to write a book, or in fact any other large body of work. It avoids the monolithic todo list item - 'write book', and breaks things up into manageable chunks.

Good point in regards to a faster release schedule for South. And yes, it is part of my workflow. But for a new Django developer, it's not obvious, as it's not part of the documentation.

Some of the apps do just that, integrate nicely, don't get in the way of the rest of your project, and do their job. But many apps need all manner of templates, settings, url confs etc to use them. In those cases it's sometimes easier to wr

I still believe South should be included in Django itself, but the South devs wanted to keep it as a separate app. I remember when I first started learning Django. You follow the tutorial, write your models. Then you start playing about an

Do you have a citation for the 5 year logistic growth curve? Or is it a 'common knowledge' thing. That's the first time I've heard about it, I'd like to know more.

+1 for the squeaky wheel. If these companies are large enough to have accounts payable departments, it's often standard to keep onto company money for as long as possible. If they can eke out a few more days of interest they will. If you're

Maybe I'm missing something, but couldn't LinkedIn add this functionality using the API anyway. Why the partnership?

All science aside, I actually laughed out loud at this one. If there's anything funnier than a small floating mouse spinning out of control, I can't think of it.

Even if the creative business are lower value than the business you now want, the work still demonstrates what you can do. If one of your existing websites involved a web application, e-commerce etc, this shows your capabilities. If you don

If you're looking at the higher end of the market, perhaps 10-20k per project or more, referals and relationships is where it's at. Think about how you would select someone for a project if you had £50k to spend on a project. Would you sea

Davidw is right, I'm not going for YC. I guess we will 'tinker' until the point of release. Thanks

I remember as a kid going into the local computer shops, getting onto a speccy or commodore and typing the immortal lines: 10 print "hello" 20 goto 10 Felt great to watch that mother scrolling! But the first thing that kids of today will do
