When the new equity crowdfunding rules go into effect, I was thinking a more interesting model could involve equity. Every person in a "startup cooperative" could own a piece of everyone else's startup. It might help minimi

I don't think it has to be open-source... you just need to release things. And what's a great motivator for releasing things when working alone? It's having other people expect you to make progress on your projects. That&#x2

When I went to tech meetups I met a couple mentors that had office hours... the first thing they started talking about was how much money they helped startups raise. They acted as if that validates any advice they gave. And their advice d

This is why I don't like posting my product ideas publicly for anyone who searches keywords. If I give away all the details of my implementation, I could be helping someone else who is doing "competitor research." If I don&

You've described the Managers at my part-time job exactly. I spend 4 hours shoveling snow in near sub-zero temperatures and oops I missed a spot by the side of the dumpster... who cares? Do customers go by the dumpster? No. Is it aff

I remember that website. In college my friend and I called it the Pet Rock of the internet. Still can't believe that idea made $1 million. btw - I'm making a club for people to discuss/show their side projects and startups

Yeah I think I double-posted while in anti-procrastination mode. I don't want to spam, but I want some people to join my club.

To get a low-wage job I had to lie on my resume. Retail stores won't hire you if you put down you have a CS degree and a few years programming experience. They want long-term desperate people. I was desperate but it looked too much

I'd expect 100%. Why involve the boss? Why not just release it on your own? If your boss has good leads to send you, you can have him sign up to your affiliate program.

This sounds like a bad idea. If it's big in North America and Europe one of those competitors will be entering Korea soon. If they don't enter Korea there's a reason for it that involves the specifics of that market. But yo

As Paul Graham says Startup = Growth. If you think your project has a large enough market and can acquire users exponentially then it could be a startup. On the other hand if you need to do a lot of work to acquire more users or it's

I'm way too broke for a co-working space. The plan is to initially use Google Hangouts because the cost is $0 and there's no time wasted travelling to a physical location. If more than 10 people join there will need to be more th

I think what most developers need is mentors, direction and a community... that's why we'd do almost anything to get into an accelerator. We think "if 50% stake for $100k is the best offer I can get, I should take it because

I thought this post was going to ask... why are any of you looking for jobs? Isn't HN for entrepreneurs and founders? Is everyone else too scared to live in poverty until their ideas succeed? That's what I think when I see &quot
