This is, in a nutshell, how to be mediocre at stuff. It's a bit pointless going to college and spending 4 of the best years of your life doing stuff you aren't interested enough in to devote yourself to. In fact, you could argue college its

It's certainly beginning to look like a Bubble. A few things - 1) Everyone is assuming that revenue will explode, and more importantly, profits will really, really explode. 2) Everyone is discounting intent. A social network for networking

My dad started a company when I was pretty young and I used to see him one week a month. It's quite naive to think that less time with your kids doesn't in some way prevent you from being the best possible parent. Anyone who thinks kids get

HN ate up my first comment so here's a shorter one (relatively). 1) Becoming a Top 5% coder will end up being a much better thing to focus on than how much money you can earn by leaving grad school. 2) I got a 48% pay increase once. An arti

For someone who usually writes very smart posts this is one strange post. On one hand developers complain that they don't get paid enough and don't get treated well. On the other hand, they refuse to consider the possibility that perhaps no

yes, move back to sfo. mindcrime is right - whatever you focus on will come true. your biggest enemy at this point is negative belief. Lots of 30 and 40 year olds start startups and do very well. stop talking to your negative friend - peopl

What about option c. Make a ton of money. Stay private. There's some sort of mind-brainwash that the only way to build a company is to get funding by giving some middle aged man who doesn't have the balls to take big risks himself a large s

Let's break it down. 1) Release a bunch of free apps. 2) Take the holiday season - the single month with the highest sales and traffic. 3) Round it up a little bit to get to $80K a month. 4) Find as many people as you can who're willing t

great point. personally, am sick and tired of VCs pretend they know stuff and that they care about entrepreneurs. If they care that much why don't they just give away money for free to the startups they think are promising.

Don't understand this. The guy's telling the Bingo Card Creator guy he should be making more money. Which is absolutely true because he has the skillset to make millions a year. How is this bad in any way - it's not. It's not psychoanalysis
