heh. Was joking. Still, I think that toying around with other's code in order to make it do something new is an excellent and fun way to learn a new language. SwellJoe: Nice comment at the top of this page, most agreeable one here.

So now that the big guys are demonstrating that they can quickly recognize opportunities and take advantage of them, of how much value is it to stay "under the radar"? How can a new startup bring unique value that facebook couldn't just dup

Your acceptance is based entirely on your idea (even though ideas are worth "nothing," heh) and your past projects. So learn some lisp to score brownie points and outsource a resume-filler project of your design to some cheep foreigners. Yo

I'd pay 100$ for a really good one that describes one of my sites in a non-limiting way, and has ALL of the good qualities that a domain name should. I am just nearly certain that all of these that consist of any keywords that describe my s

OK. A "friend" of mine never brags about accomplishments. wtf is the difference?

Well I never claim to be good at programming, or much of anything. In fact I've found that trying to improve your skills while thinking of yourself as only marginally capable is great inspiration to keep trying harder, even when you've surp

Am I the only person left who thinks that blogs are generally a big waste of time? At least if some product I'm designing fails, I will have advanced my skills by creating it. Is having written a failed blog supposed to make me a great writ
