I was able to pick up Python pretty effortlessly (coming from a zero programming experience background) through Udacity's search engine course. If you're coming from little or no experience, you can easily pick up on Python. Like everything

It looks like you've found a niche that works for you. I would be really interested in seeing a follow up blog post on the statistics (downloads, sales, usage metrics) of MUDRammer. Used FHYW7K9TJYEX.

In the past 6 months, I have seen a massive increase in the amount of sites that are mobile-ready. It is interesting to see the standards that have developed for most of the sites. I still find that most lack creativity, but that may just b

I've been looking into doing freelance/contract work, too. However, I am in the US. I know there are many different tips and tricks to charging what you want, but can anyone with iOS freelance experience share their experience with pricing

I agree with raising the prices. If you feel worried that Sliding Boxes 'is not worth it,' remember that pricing can be highly psychological. When I see something that is $7/month, I don't think of something that is of great quality. That's

This is incredibly valuable. I'd love to see this in my city (San Diego). Are you thinking about monetizing it? I know this is obvious, but I've seen some successful (similar) sites do featured listings, and at scale, I think this could be

This is pretty great. It's a neat way to minimize SO. I noticed that you're planning on preparing it to be ready for mobile; I'm really interested in checking it out when you do that.

I agree with others that have replied. If you change your stance to, "I have X skills, and I can use them to provide your business with X, which is good for you because X," then you are much more likely to attract interest. It seems that th

The only thing that threw me off was the loading of web pages. There does not seem to be anything to let the user know that the web page is loading. Granted, most of the users of this app (being HN regulars) would probably assume that a pag

After checking out The Gig City site, I noticed that your company won last year's GigTank. It seems like a great opportunity, and I will probably apply as a student. What advice would you give me (in terms of if I were to get accepted)?

by tagabek 14y ago
Why I like this so far: - It's the closest Alien Blue:Reddit that I've seen for HN - Opening web pages within the app is much more comfortable than the standard way of doing so, which is terrible in my opinion Great work!

How do you keep your desktops separate? It seems that any change made in one is automatically made in the others. I have found that you can limit an application to one desktop, but if that is true, then how do you use two separate Chrome ta

If you two-finger click the application, it will give you the option to assign it to a specific desktop.

It seems like your skills are sturdy enough to create viable products. Have you thought about contract work or getting a job as an engineer? When I feel like books/SO/etc. are not working for me, I tackle an existing idea that I have.

My ultimate goal in my professional life is to create a system of virtual worlds that are more 'livable' than the real world. My obsession with this thought started when I read the Pendragon series years back, and it was reawakened by the a

I actually thought the same thing. Let's say that we have the legal means to do this (ie. We won't get ultra sued or killed). How would one begin this daunting task?

I'm also a student that is looking to intern/work with a startup. There was a common application for startups posted on HN recently, and it seems very promising. I am definitely applying. The deadline is March 5th, so you have some time, bu

The verdict on the popular podcast Tech News Today was that "Scroogled" is very petty and childish. I personally think that it is hilarious, but not in a good way for Microsoft. I lost a little bit of respect for them.

I'm currently going through Big Nerd Ranch's iOS Programming book and the "Challenges" at the end are geared towards making you accomplish tasks that would be given in the real world. I'm 25% of the way through the book and I'm already work

What would you say the current market rates in the San Francisco area would be for full-time iOS developers? What are the variables that this depends on?

It's funny that you bring that up. A few months ago, there was a show called "20 Under 20," which was a two-day special that followed the Thiel Fellowship application process. I literally waited 2 months to watch the show, and it was amazin

First off, congratulations on your graduation and employment! - Would you recommend the startup route for a first job? Core data seems to be one of the top 3 important things with iOS development. I will make sure to go above and beyond whe

That's another great point. From what I've observed, failing seems to be a natural part of the entrepreneurial process. As you said, anyone who has had any success, has also tasted failure. When I face this harsh lesson someday, I will do m
