Here comes Vine clone from Facebook. Invent, which is hard, but there is always CLONING!!

TLDR: Software Engineer + Salesman + Experienced.

An experienced software engineer who could lead a team and set technical guidelines/principles for other team members, who could design complex systems and provide technical solutions for business needs.

A technical resource who could talk to business users(non technical) and can gather requirements and come up with a Statement of Work for his/her company b.y presenting companies product or technical capabilities.

Hmnn..This is no more on the front page so someone corrected that. Meanwhile I subscribed to your update list.Good luck!

For a moment I thought, What? Did he already complete it -:)?

How come same URL appeared on front page as a separate entry? I thought if you try to submit same URL +1 goes to the original post.

Trust me, you earned that much because of your luck. Otherwise Andrew Ng would have partnered with another finance professor and they would have been the richest people on earth!! Imagine trading with their expert systems on global markets.

I traded stocks and Forex for years and my experience says, it is not for everyone. What ever indicators,discipline or model you follow it is going to work only if you have the right intuition or luck!

Interesting thoughts. And it felt like I am reading what I always felt. I have created ,sorry, started many side projects but none of them ended properly. Some left out in the middle, for some after starting I just had no vision what to do next with it.

Most of this is due to my day job(full time job). And so lack of motivation or loosing interest was because of the less time I could devote to it.But I still do not agree on :

"a lack of commitment to one thing is just as productive as doing nothing at all."

When you work on side projects you learn new things or you practice old things which makes you perfect. So keep doing something is always better than nothing. Because of these unfinished side projects I was able to learn python, machine learning, data mining, django and so many other tools and technologies which I would have never learned as these are not related to my day job(all java).

So I would still vote for keep doing side projects whether or not you finish it you have something learned in the process.

eduardordm, nice details you have put there.

Can u please elaborate more on :

"Why are you paying the heroku premium? Build you own aws servers, put nginx and set cheap instances behind it. Let capistrano be your heroku."

Like how does that setup works?

Well I know about that.You can open a company but can not work for it.What is the use?

Not fully related to this article but inline with the comments what I am reading.

I am always amazed at the different kinds of programs and rules introduced by USA for giving permanency to illegal immigrants where as people moving/moved legally (H1b/L1b etc) have to wait forever(like 10 years and still waiting) to get that status.People on H1B/L1B can not start a side business and these are the tech people(mostly) who can add lots of value to the existing market.

Jobs are plenty for both BE or FE.

For back-end, read an overview of Python/Django and Ruby/Rails syntax and how these work and then analyse which one you can understand intuitively.

Whichever language/framework you choose get in to the lower level details and you will master the things.

For FE, after HTML/CSS start with Graphic/Logo designing(With Photoshop/GIMP or wait for thanksgiving and you will get lots of deals on Adobe products) and UX principles.Again see if these things come to you naturally.

After doing little bit of both you should be able to decide yourself which one(FE/BE) is better for you.

All the best!!

No.Utilization is fine but application utilizing platform should not invalidate platform's one of the main reason it was supported by many!

What you are saying is acceptable if users are allowed use those developed apps freely(without app.net membership)but here first we need membership to access these apps!

Yeah for that part, now somewhere in that developer program information it says :

"Developers are free to monetize their applications through their own mechanisms; this program should be thought of as a “bonus” for building software that App.net members use and love."

So developers can add advertisements and now no advertising feature of app.net is void?

Leave the octave and think about the 7 notes. Basic notes, A,B,C,D,E,F and G and probably flats/sharps associated to those.

You said 88 keys = 88 notes but they are just same basic notes,one of those 7 +sharp/flat.

World is trying to get connected in every possible manner and here are some, want to isolate and have their own world.

Unfinished product has no value so finish it for 2 reasons

1. Probably you will get good number of users which might boost your motivation again.

2. If #1 does not happen then you can always sell this product to someone else(flippa.com) which will at least pay for the time you have spent on it rather than totally throwing it away.

That would be good enough to run web app/s so +1 for pyhon/django support!

Thanks for the quick response and you are right I did not provide project specific details because I do not have at this moment.But yeah I was hoping to get some place so that if I start something I could use that.

I sent request for approval and its pending for 9 days..don't think its for everyone.Anyways python support will create more interest.

If things are getting lost then:

1. During scrum take notes for everyone while they are speaking.

2. End of the call send out an email to all with Minutes of meeting(which could just be what you noted above or shorter version).

3. Next day/scrum start from the last meeting's note and see if pending issues were worked on or missed(if missed highlight them right away).

4. Use a tool like JIRA/Confluence/Trello or XPlanner to organise teams/tasks/stories and assign tickets for every outstanding issue/task(Do not hesitate even if it is a 2 minute task).

5. Circulate weekly progress to everyone so that everyone knows where the team stands.Tool like xplanner are very good in providing charts/graphs from the data you enter everyday.

Good luck !

Straight away to bathroom and take a glance at my email,facebook,general news and HackerNews on iPhone.Then tea and get ready for office!

Short but some details are there for 'why?' "it relies entirely on Sass mixins and does not pollute your HTML with presentation classes and extra wrapping div's"

So they are just promoting an approach which is nonorthodox!

Cool site! My suggestion for more features/changes:

1. Social share bar for each link. 2. Finding common links/stories in all those tech sites. 3. Probably a tab view? 4. Search feature!

You can for sure.But because you don't have a degree you will have to take a differet path. Prove you are what you say(great designer/developer etc..) Build your portfolio, make online repo and then get in touch with google,amazon,facebook,apple recruiters.All the best.

I think its otherwise now. I will mention just one example and same thing will apply to many. I always preferred to buy from amazon(picking just one name) because of no tax and so always better than those stores.But now Amazon is charging sales tax in many states and plan is to charge in more and more states.That will be followed by other online stores and then it will always be more convenient to go to local store(because price is same) feel the item and return it hassle free if you don't like it!

Same here, but I have learned that first start understanding UX and usability and then with the help of frameworks like bootstrap(there are many)anyone can easily put up a nice layout.Once you have that then it can be improved with nice graphics,logos and images.

Also I feel sometimes posting a link to a blog with some interesting story and features of your site can help too.But as eli said it is mostly luck!

An app which crawls over internet and gives best deal/price for any item you search and you never have to search 100s of diff deal sites to compare the lowest.
