kode4fun··on What's the next product that will disrupt the smartphone industry?
- I think intelligent personal assistants. Something like Siri but better and more useable.
kode4fun··on Ask HN: What are you Always Googling?
Ideas for apps, projects and startups.
kode4fun··on Ask HN: Do you zoom in to read webpages?
- I use GC as well so I don't zoom in. However, on my phone I do.
kode4fun··on Ask HN: Advice from Hardware hackers
- I think the best way to get into hardware, is to work on DIY/Electronic Projects (like you plan on doing).

- To go from prototype to completed product, requires alot of patience and resilience. Do you plan on using PCBs as well? If you do, do you know about OrCad or Eagle?

- I'll like to work with you, (if you don't mind).

kode4fun··on Ask HN: How Do I Inspire College/High-School Students To Work With Me?
Oh okay. I'll check in on that ghubbard. I appreciate your response. Have A Good Sunday & A Great Weekend.
kode4fun··on Ask HN: How Do I Inspire College/High-School Students To Work With Me?
Thank you for your response ghubbard.

My sales pitch is that

1. I have projects available that can make them get money (and skills on their resume), since they (and I) really need it.

2. Im ready to train them (as I'll be paying for their time as well), because although they are CS & IT Students, they've not been taught how to program good.

3. Im willing to work on their schedule (since many of them are students)

4. They can tell me what programming language or projects they'll like to learn (or interested in) and I'm willing to get what they want.

But still, it's almost as if everything I've done is a waste of time.

Is there something I don't know? Am I doing something wrong?

Am I crazy? They need money and I have a way of getting it for them, but yet no one wants to work. Like please, why is that?

kode4fun··on Ask HN: What apps are you most thankful for?
- I gotta say Hacker News. I've learnt SO MUCH from it.
kode4fun··on Does it bother you when people are incompetent?
So true codegeek. I understand where you are coming from.
kode4fun··on Does it bother you when people are incompetent?
What bothers me is not incompetent people, but rather incompetent people who don't want to be competent. Like in the beginning (of every skill), I believe that we are all incompetent/naive but as time goes on, you have those who try to advance and develop their skills and those who just don't care. It's the one's that don't care, that bothers me.
