Well good luck to y'all. I like the idea, and agree with the analogy. I guess it would just be an important point to make clear to the student they won't be a Rails ninja by the end of the course. I'm currently at livngsocial doing front-en

Do you honestly believe that you can teach a person with no programming knowledge Ruby/Rails in 8 weeks? Having strong HTML/CSS skills and basic JS/Ruby/Rails, I don't see this as a realistic goal, and could leave some people disappointed f

It's so amusing to watch someone report on a topic they have no clue about. "It teaches you... how do you get this shape to form??"

Ryan, I noticed from past posts of yours that you are probably a very family oriented guy. Just wanted to get your perspective on moving you and your family half way across the globe. I myself am considering moving a good distance from my f

Very nice, despite the ridiculousness of the idea, it could potentially work. The landing page needs some work though for sure. Is there an email I could reach one of you guys at?

Haha I love the commentary in the JS source: "Hi there You are here for one of two possible reasons: 1. You are creating a card game yourself and want to look at the source to see how it's done. 2. You're trying to figure out how you ca

Email me in the future if you want any advice (in profile). I'm interning at LivingSocial in DC right now and love the hell out of it.

Obviously I don't know all the details but you've got two disparate but important things to take into consideration here: (1) A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. To have the job now even though it's not exactly what you want is imp

Go to Google, build your resume and get more experience under your belt. Save up. Then chase your dreams via your own startup or another that you're passionate about and have a little cushion. If things go awry, rinse and repeat.

Landing page needs a lot of work. There's no description of what that even means ('Where wallpapers save lives'). No way I would sign up.

I'm on here everyday. One's opinion can be predictable without being partisan, i.e. Republican or Democrat.

>since most of HN seems to be liberals... I tend to believe that the majority of hackers in this community are above the shenanigans of partisan politics. With that said, great perspective above.

Of course they are more capable. But are you saying that these opinions aren't worth listening to as well? "Without understanding your opponent's argument, you can't fully understand your own." If nothing else this can be an educational exp

No one is saying nor implying that computer programmers possess a superior moral compass to make judgements on the rule-based systems as you have stated. The laws are fucked up because of pervasive unethical political practices in the U.S.

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how far they have delved into learning about the technology that they are so interested in becoming apart of?

Looks useful and is much needed. However, since you are trying to appeal to newcomers to rails, which might include non-devs as well, you need to state what the purpose is in more plain english (and in larger text). For example, what is a d

Sounds like an excellent idea, I think. I've often thought the HN model could be applied to different fields as long as you attract the right kind of user and gain the critical mass necessary. Good luck!

I had not previously checked out CrowdCube or Slated but these do seem to be promising models that could certainly be replicated in other realms. If you feel like chatting more, I'd love to hear more about what you have in the works and wou

I think that Mr. Pud is in a great position to do something like this. It requires intricate, thorough exploration and thought and likely a lot of legal help, but it's interesting how often I hear an indie musician and think, "God if I coul

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Couldn't hurt. What is the intended result? Clarity/peace of mind?

Thanks for the advice. I agree 100% about the IQ and boredom thing. Sometimes I envy people who can sit around and do nothing and be completely satisfied. But that's never been me. I too have a medical condition (epilepsy) which has pretty

Disclaimer: this one's out there. Think stock market for music meets Kickstarter. As you mentioned, most musicians are strapped for cash. Most also have plans for bigger and better things, need new equipment, and want to get the word out ab
