Akram··on Humanize Yourself First, Then Humanize Your Business
You must be the change you want to see in the world...
Akram··on The UX of Language
Cant agree more.. Just a bit more code can make messages sound more human.
Akram··on The most important entrepreneurial lesson I've learned.
"This is why building an MVP, and validated learning are so important. Before we get too carried away, we have to find out if the market wants what we're building." Spending more time on an idea without getting substantial success may lead to 2 things... 1. Either you loose interest and quit where the product actually might have been valuable if it would have seen the light of the day. 2. You take it to your heart that even if there is no real market-fit you still keep working on it.

Either of them are dangerous for an entrepreneur. "Fail fast fail often" is the way to go.

Akram··on Principle of Least Coding
Writing less and elegant code take more time... I used to spend more time in perfecting my logic in as less code as possible.. But if the code is for an MVP then it should be quick and dirty.

Akram··on Ask HN: What is the best advice I can give my wife on finding freelance work?
Elance, FreelanceGuru really suck for newcomers. It's almost impossible to get a project if you don't have a good credit score. I would recommend trying places like constant-content or FreelanceSwitch.
