I did the same thing and ended up with the same feeling.

Hey, great list! I want to start working remotely soon and will make sure to go through most of the links you curated there. Thanks!

I don't get it, what's the problem with Swift, iOS 7 compatibility and iPhone 4? I've been working on an app for iOS 7+ devices for a few months and everything is working ok. The pains I'm facing with Swift are far from compatibility with iOS (debugging is hell compared to Objective-C).

I love Inkscape, but not having a native OSX build sucks.

I have the same feeling. Even if I apply with a low rate, there's always 20+ in front of me. Clients don't even have time to answer everyone (my guess).

From what I've read in this thread, Parse isn't that good for production, but there isn't anything better, is that correct? If not, what are good alternatives to it?

Embedded lyrics please

Question is: are you guys willing to pay decent salary? I've seen this "can't find local work force" talk a lot, but most of them want local work force paying minimum wage (when comparing to other places in the world).

About equity: I don't see anything wrong in wanting a pay check. IMO equity is a plus a company can offer employees as a way to help hold talent - not salary substitute.

Not stupid at all, I still don't understand the reasoning behind it.

Where did you find this market rates information?

This. I'm an iOS developer and only working and learning new things in the field consumes all my time. I can't image how would I start working on different technology (say node.js, which is something I want to) without impacting on my iOS learning curve.

Why Thailand? Low cost of living?

Is there anyway to buy their The Feasibility Study book? I'd love to help them and get one copy.

Lol at you thinking that being able to import your PS4 is priority #1. I too hate the import tax, but this priority is way down the list of what the government should be tackling.

I totally agree with you. It's not because it's English per se, it's because we need one universal language. English is the better choice because all the code that we have to write is based in... English. "while", "for", "if", "switch", "return", those are all English words that weren't picked at random: they have actual meaning on what you're doing. If you are programmer and don't know English, you'll never be a great programmer because you'll never understand the basics of the programming language you're working with. By the way, I'm Brazilian. You want to start programming? Great, learn English first. It's not hard and it's gonna make more good than harm to you.

It just seems wrong to have three kids under 6 and a wife pregnant and still try your luck on creating a new company. I think before anything else, you need to be responsible with the ones that depends on you.

I don't understand, why is this relevant to Hacker News?

"The only problem is that you have to install something."

This is a question I keep asking myself, specially within the web development enviroment. The company I'm currently working for wants to use Java for their web service needs (I'm trying to push a RESTful approach, but I'm have 0 knowledge of how they could start that in the Java world). So I ask: is Java worth learning for web development (scalability, lines of code, etc)? If not, why?

Do you guys have contracts with the carriers to have access to their API?

Being an aspiring entrepreneur, I'd love to see Brazil there.

Maybe having an online database of spam emails that every self hosted mail can access could be an answer.

"What tools will you use to build your product? Python (top to bottom.)"

Yes.

I'd suggest for you to change the title of the page so it looks better on my bookmark bar. :)

That is so cool, I was dying for a site like this.
