You don't have to be necessarily at home to fulfill expectations in your job. It's good to have an option to work from home when necessary. There are jobs that require an employee's presence in the office. There are remote jobs only (WFH). Does it make it a necessity? No.

So why "use" basecamp to market your product? I'm hoping for a legit product story.

What Mr. Al-Kabaz would have done is secure a lawyer before he signed the NDA.

Start attending IT-related events and conferences. Check if there are IT-related User Groups or meetups in your area. If you are working in a company that has some sort of IT department, ask your IT co-workers on how to get started.

A good network to join and search for IT people is LinkedIN.

Start offering something for FREE - a blog about how to write better for tech startups or ebook on the same topic, or better yet combination of those two.

Identify who you write for and have signup form on the blog. Offer free ebook for those who sign up. Build an email list.

This is not an overnight effort but this is one good way to get a headstart IMHO.

Have you looked at the Twitter Bootstrap yet?

Just so we can keep watching "Baggage Battles"?

Please also tell us what you do, so we can correlate the computer setup with what you do :-)

Is Ruby/Rails coming too?

This is a "feature" (simple crud) that would take 6 clicks to build in Visual Studio (just saying) :-)

Wow! To me, that's additional 9.75% of the price! (I live in LA County in California)

But you know that, on the right market, many companies are willing to pay $1,000 for that kind of service. I'm sure there is a market for such service.

Elance would deliver in shorter turnaround on 1/10th of that amount (or even lesser). I am not trying to spoil your idea but this is the reality. If you can surmount that possible hurdle, then your idea might just be great. But until then...

after re-reading the original post few more times, I still think he meant just what the title said - don't learn to code unless you love coding and it's your passion.

Whatever happen to Social Contract? The worst thing that could ever happen in this country is if we start mistrusting established institutions.

I personally use them on my blog http://marlonribunal.com

Be asian and bald = smart! It ain't that simple!

Motorola wins. Germans lose :-(
