self driving cars like comma.ai done by george hotz (dropout from college) ?

(and it's one of the best self driving software out there)

Of course you need to study(a lot), but a degree is not required.

IMHO you should try with something very simple like python or php.

OT: I really hope that we do an serious agreement(with immigration visas) between europe, canada and mexico.

Thank you, but for my experience (spoke with some lawyer) while this is legally true(no min investment required) it's really hard that they accept your request with only $14k-20k invested in your business in 2017.

Specially if you're moving around a big city(or silicon valley).

The MVP is already done and I've customers (sv companies) already.

The 100k will be used only for cover immigration costs/living costs/server costs/ some freelancers(design,copywrite etc...) until I raise another round from sv investors.

Guys as I've said: my customers are there.

Yes this is exactly my experience too.

Wow... $ 14k for what kind of business and where ?

where are you from ?

My home country of residence or of citizenship ?

It's just a pre-seed and investors want that I move because all my customers are in sv.

Oh interesting...is really so easy ?

This is not an option...investors want that I move

They've let you in at "border control" ? Usually to me they always ask where I will stay(hotel or friend).

Btw best luck with YC interview!

Really nice :) what is the tech stack(backend) ? is so fast!

Often aren't employee in the legal way that you mean it...but are "hired" as contractor.

Not really...the regulations has always been there.

How you've opened the bank account in uk without been resident there ?

Seems that they have a company in UK...not sure what bank accounts they use(usually they don't open you a business bank account if you're not resident...at least this did happen to me)

(sorry for english mistakes)

Before start to search for a job in europe you must decide WHERE you want go. Europe is a bit different from America...we're a union but every country has his own immigration rules and culture.

You are ok with the cold and snow of denmark ? or you prefer the sun ? you know spanish(this could help a bit to learn portuguese quickly)

Btw isn't very diffucult for an american that has lived and workex in silicon valley find a job here(see the HN job offers thread)

Wish you the best.

idonethis ?

Why ? any source from founders ?

You'll will find the same problems in rails community(and I guess in nodejs community too)

Learn to program and do it yourself if you don't find a library/gem. THIS is the solution (anyway in any platform/framework you'll have the 'main' libraries/gems updated...)

Stuck with what you know better and hack a product.

What ? maybe I'm stupid, but to me the python version seems a a lot more readable. It's only me ? (maybe because I don't know lisp, but neither python, so should be the same)

You can write bad code(not modular) with every language...

If you use some include() in php, you can avoid long php/html pages...

What I really miss is that was very fast "GET SHIT DONE" with PHP.

The latest version is "supported only by" rails. (I mean that you should implement the server side part in your language/framework)

(in php/asp.net/python you should write something in backend for serve javascript responses as is it in rails with files .js.erb)

Sorry but if you love PHP and use as your main language, why you don't complete any sideproject ? I don't understand your statement.

Or GraphSQL!

Sometimes I miss the old good days with PHP mixed in HTML.

Maybe wasn't the best solution but it worked...and was fast too.

Senior eng in big 4 can easily earn these money...(or in bank sector)

Ok, you know any good talk/slide with real examples ?

For example I don't understand why companies like airbnb (I understand for uber instead) need microservices...it's just a frontend app + backend + api. This can(could) be an single app.
