I'd agree. However, reading it is hard, really skim parts and come back to it over time. It's also where the Lean Startup started.

Yes, it has for quite a while now. To be clear, .NET Core is cross-platform. .NET Framework (old/existing) is still Windows-only. You can target both by targeting .NET Standard. Still confusing, I know :(

The certificate has expired, Chrome gives a nice ugly warning. But thanks for the link, I'm curious.

Ironic considering the username. In most people's instances, I wouldn't consider this a good idea. At least until you've shown good traction for a few months of adding new customers.

Ship a product. By doing that, you'll have to figure out SO much stuff from front to back. Doesn't even have to be your product, it could be moonlighting project. Just ship something from start to finish.

That was helpful. I have been confused many times.

It made me realize that the internal nuget packages we create (private), we should be targeting netstandard.

SQL Azure sounds like.

Send a resume with a bit about yourself to me at scott.josephson at fmgsuite.com

Nice read and flow plus a great end.

Personally i think the typos add to the realism.

I love following along on Twitter when I can't be there in person.

I built my first SaaS app http://sharpplm.com, Quote Management for manufacturing companies. It has been pretty much autopilot and is still making $2k per year.

I am currently working on http://gemssports.com. It is activity, payments, member management for sports companies. Think sports trainers, tournaments, softball teams, etc. We are just getting rolling but having some good success.

That is definitely some neat engineering and manufacturing. The downside is how much landfill waste is created.

It's also interesting how we've been using the same principles with cloth diapers for a long time using cotton, fleece, wool, bamboo, and plastic covers.

Senior Software Engineer | FMG Suite | Full-time employee | (Minneapolis/Duluth) Minnesota or Wisconsin

We are a small dev team that works mostly remote, tries to be agile and try to be a good place to work. We are a self-funded SaaS company for a niche industry and a lot of growth. We work mostly from home, but try to get together monthly or so when we can. We run ASP.NET, C#, and everything is on AWS.

You should be able to work by yourself, but have very good communication (big deal for remote teams). Full stack experience is a must.

We don't have a job posting page up yet, but reply to the posting with an email and we'll talk.

This is so true. But it's also not surprising how long it takes things to go from science updates to general population "common knowledge".

Also, I just can't help but notice your ironic username.

It is really amazing, but I'm left to wonder about something.

Now that we've dug it all up, and are exposing it to air, the items won't last nearly as long. It seems like some items should be left in an inert environment. Do they do things like that?

Wow. Thank you for sharing this. Amazing to try and wrap your head around this.

I'd suggest Darn Tough wool socks. Buy two of them per season if you want. They are guaranteed for life. No, they really are. Return them, and they send you new ones. My wife has returned them twice. I'm still on my first pair and I run and go backpacking. They are awesome. Plus, wool is one of the best materials for not stinking (anti-bacterial) so you don't even have to wash them (every time) if you leave them out to dry.

That was a fun read.

It took me a bit to get my head around the use cases. It's sometimes amazing how many different ways you can twist a simple (complex really) thing like email into a product/idea.

Yeah, I just got an email on it too. (Customers)

I liked that they actually explained what their encryption was versus just letting you guess.

We use them integrated with New Relic, so I'll have to look at what the permissions are there.

Ha, agreed. I always tell folks don't worry about problems down the road. Your company has to get there first. (This is usually to bootstrappers and startups.)

We often worry about things before we REALLY know what the product is. Or even sillier before you have customers.

Quite an interesting talk. I liked the format: "How to get more rps?..."

It's humbling to think of the scale that some other folks deal with. I'm concerned of 2x growth with running a couple thousand sites on a dozen servers.

You can't just hit up SO when you run into a problem at Facebook's scale.

Take a look at Dell's XPS 15, seems to fit your bill. I have the older version XPS 15, and it doesn't have the hi-res screen (1920x1080) and isn't too thin/light, but is great for me.

I am running a Dell XPS 15 (nice machine btw) and currently using 11GB of the 16GB RAM. I'm running way too many Chrome tabs (20 at the moment) and have a few VS projects open with one running, SSMS, an RDP session, a few other apps. The one VS solution is >100 projects (we're working on getting more into nuget packages), so that is the primary killer.

Very interesting, especially the water usage.

However, I'm curious to know what the electrical cost is. I know LEDs have to help with efficiency, but is it still enough?

As a .NET developer, I've been looking forward to official Windows support for a long time. I am installing it now!

I'm hoping with better VS support for Node.js, there will be more MS shops playing around with Meteor and Node.

I am a mechanical engineer as well that turned to programming. I only had Matlab and Fortran experience of all things out of school. I would be very honest with yourself whether living in the US on the West Coast is your dream or being a programmer is your dream. These are two separate things and are not necessarily related. Assuming that you want to go into programming, then figure out what type of work you want to do. But if you are flexible and not in the goal is more to live in the US then I would suggest going the web development route. I learned pretty much entirely on nights and weekends doing small contract work what we call moonlighting. Then after several years of that I decided to go out on my own. I had never worked officially as a developer but was able to get my first full-time contract job without showing a resume at all. (It was from a reference.) The thing that I love about the web development space especially is that no one cares what your degree as they only care about your experience and knowledge. If you can build a simple web app that does something and it can be simple and put it out there on a real site then you will have no problem getting a job.

All of this is assuming that you legally can get a job the US.

One thing that helps me (other than.my wife and kids asking when I'm done) is to go for a short walk. My wife knows that its part of my routine and is usually pretty supportive.
