karnajani··on Leaving PHP is too expensive
Totally agree. PHP7's speed is awesome. And the service that the author points out (Laravel Forge) provisions VPSes with PHP7.

The author is totally right about Forge, I have never EVER had a better provisioning experience.

karnajani··on Take me as an Intern – 19yo student seeking internship
This is awesome. I'm not in CA, but I hope a team over there picks you up.
karnajani··on oDesk to merge with Elance
I've been living completely off of my oDesk earnings for the last year. My rates are usually between 35-50 dollars/hr

I'm pretty sure there are tons of folks out there just like me living comfortable lives with their oDesk earnings.

karnajani··on How we pay royalties: an overview
Incase you're not looking specifically for Spotify, Rdio is available in Canada legally.
karnajani··on Stop Freelancing
I thought we were calling ourselves consultants now.
karnajani··on Startup CEOs: you are overestimating your tech talent
They may have not had 'hard' problems to solve as part of their core app.

But it seems as though, solving how to scale a CRUD app is a problem whose solutions are still being discovered.

karnajani··on Qwerty vs Dvorak: Dvorak cooked the books
Good lord that was awful. I had to think long and hard about whether or not I really wanted to read the article.

karnajani··on Caffeine Spray, Brought to You by Peter Thiel’s College Dropout Challenge
Seriously. All I could think is,this is one of the world's toughest problems?

I get the spirit behind the idea of giving kids money to tinker, but this creates what's equivalent to a programmer who has only learned from stackoverflow and w3schools. There is a lot missing that's still part of the standard college curriculum, and the worlds problems will most likely need just as much theory as practical understanding.

karnajani··on Kim Dotcom’s Mega Opens For Early-Access Users
mega.co.nz is showing 'access denied' when I tried accessing the site.

Edit: Looks like the article mentioned that on the last paragraph. It has to do with early access protection.

karnajani··on We got a takedown notice from LifeShield for our positive review
I understand that LifeShield may not be a popular company, and that their rep was totally in the wrong in this matter. But the level of outrage shown by Jeremy is just ludicrous. They apologized several times over and explained that they were dealing with cranking out a job under extremely tight deadlines (something we should all be familiar with) and managed to screw up.

The 4-5 instances of apologies, retraction of threat, and admittance of error should have been enough. But it seems like OP felt so entitled to being treated like a 5-star customer that he had to complain till he was spent.
