I'm brazilian and I don't think that its a WOHOO act or something. It's just that US and EU governments are so full of interests(and shit) that it looks good. We don't have a big(and stupid) elite like the US does, so things stay reasonable

There's a big difference between owning microsoft(or say, sap?) than working or it. There's no "not exciting" business.

I'm going to go against the people that have commented here until now. The best you can do is take a look at how much is him helping you with the startup and you can somehow guess if he's going to leave the project anytime soon. (obvious) L

Not all technical people prefer doing programming rather interacting with a "random bunch of strangers". I'm sure that most of technical co-founders LOVE to tell about what they are building, just... leave most of business crap out of the w

You are exaggerating. Is it only me who likes JS better than CS? :( It's stylish.

I think you guys obsess too much about programming languages. I doubt that anybody doing something useful cares about THAT "wohooo expressiveness". JS is alright, dammit. You don't need CS, you need to get your shit done.

You can: #1 try to find another job, #2 finish your degree and #3 create your own stuff. It's up to you. I seriously thing that you should try #1 if you want to work, #2 if #1 fails and #3 if you are passionate about something.

There's talent everywhere. Every human is talented but the environment that is around that human kills it. I feel lucky to have my english to the level that is right now and still live here. But I believe you are right, most of brazilian pr

First of all, I'm brazilian. I study computer science and things are bad here. I'm very lucky to be able to understand english well enough to have studied most of courses MIT OCW have that are interesting to me. Teachers here "teach" in a d

Don't buy it. I don't know how applestore ou imported products are in india, but in Brazil are fucking expensive. I can easily get the same hardware/display/everything for half of the price, at least here. Only buy that MBP when the MBP mon

You learn how to deal with teachers that threats you like shit(and think they are good) and you also build a lot of hate to anything academic related, which can prove to be good as you won't want to be a part of the system and will give you

Exactly the way I see things, I bet that most of people also think about it the same way... but it feels good to listen that from likeminded people :)

Don't you feel like working on something with me? (anything stupid would do). I think I'm well versed in programming(I'm heavy now on node.js). I can teach you a little bit of it if you want to and maybe build something we can be proud of.

I'm developing an app(real-time) using socket.io, mongoose,express and more. Is that enough? I bet that there's some hackers here way ahead of me. >:( I would go even unpaid to get more experience.

The idea is so bad and don't have that appeal, srsly. But getting 5mi from investors made it really look awesome... or we are in a bubble.

The good thing about the valley is that there's a lot of talent around, investors and so on. An average/bad entrepreneur should be able to weight the lifecost there and what you get from being in the valley... I thought this article would g

I hate when people think that life is some kind of philosophy debate over "what should i do?", just fucking live and do whatever your heart tells you to. I doubt your stupid steve jobs after getting fired from apple and having a spare billi
