   I'm just putting this as a data point to observe. Looking back to my limited experience, most of the wins in my life was mostly because I was too naive to think "it's probably not all that difficult to do".

   "The bounty is more a way of saying "thanks!", of buying someone a coffee for their help, rather than paying them for their work." This usually works when the guy giving the bounty is not just another random guy on the internet.

    Congrats to the OP! Of course, there's always the birth lottery for most people reminiscing here. For people coming from the third world, this kind of a feat would be very rare to come by and won't be appreciated even if they do, as they ar

    Every solution has a free and open source implementation. It's like saying I'll bake a cake at home with the free and open source implementation available online instead of buying it from the store. It about how much you weigh your time and

    For good or bad, I can't express how much of changed person I'm due to Hacker News. It has taught me to question dogma wherever I can, that has given me a better understanding of how the world works, in other words, getting the birds eye vi

    If you go on tracing the "meaningful" work you've been doing all this time, you'll probably end up with something leisurely. This is just very close to that, seeming "meaningless". Let's face it, most of the work we do is an effort to impro

    In my opinion, whatever decision you make definitely has its pros and cons. I find no exceptions. I simply see the good that has happend due to that decision and fell good at that moment. http://sivers.org/horses It's the most unexpected

    I don't think "front-end" development can be learnt methodologically. I'm assuming that front-end development ties in a bit of design skills to really make it effective. I'm a backend guy myself. I'm probably good at thinking up nice UI, co

    I do appreciate the very well thought of web application. I most definitely like it. I have experienced the pain point but, it seems a wee bit simple to shell out $50/month. I could just install Wordpress (quoting it for it's simplicity) wi

    I think with the advent of the internet, the disparity in the world economy is being normalised. In India, just 6-7 years back, $200/month was a good salary where one could lead a a happy life. Nowayadays, $1000/mo is fairly manageable (sti

    Extend the same argument. They probably said 'fuck you, we're going English for Wikipedia' instead of Enzyklopädie or whatever like every other recognizable brand worldwide. Let's face it, English is the universal language.

    I'm doing all of that probably more than most of my peers but that makes me question the core values of a college education. Low Cost, Connections, Visa stuff are a few reasons I'm still sticking on to it. All of them are not core to colleg

    A bit off topic: I think I'm pretty much in the same situation as Nafis. I'm majoring in Electronics and have a passion for computers. Only difference is, tuition is quite cheap here in India (around $5000 for 4 years). So, small freelancin
