"keep your devs [...] always working on something they want" this seems to be the uber-rule for everyone who employs a developer. If you can guarantee that one (granted, it's huge) requirement, you should not get into trouble with your engi

The whole distributed concept really works. No more "WiFi is down, so I cannot commit". As well rebasing is a nice tool which saves a lot of headache, especially for people trying to figure out what you did a lot later...

That is the correct answer on a LOT of "How do you do it"s, actually. Sometimes there are alternatives, but you cannot beat a longtime community involvement if you want your voice to be heard...

Totally agree, it was not meant as total reduction to that point, though I now can see how the title reads that way...

careful about that, when he tells your competitor about the referal, then continues to be a major pain in the ass. They might just wait for an even bigger fool to refer back to you

I would start off with Logo. http://logo.twentygototen.org/ While it is very simplistic, it is also super-easy to get started and create something visible on the screen (which I suppose is important for a child not to lose interest). You

Awesome startup concept! Take a product that everybody knows and almost everybody buys. Add some sort of modification that will appeal to a lot of people. Let your users create the merchandise and start earning. Very well done!
