There is a really good book out there on one person startups called the $100 startup by Chris Guillebeau - it gives loads of examples of startups around the world, which were started by one person ( http://amzn.to/1Kb63VH )

I would say it kind of depends on where you live. While this would be totally o.k. in the U.S. and pretty much no problem at all in the Silicon Valley, it would look fairly bad to a European employer.

You should check out the Growth Hacking class at onemonth.com - I have taken the class and totally love it. It walks you through a full product launch from building a landing page, writing perfect copy to selling. Lots of great advice in th

After these awesome videos, you now know how to start a startup. Next up: grow the startup. There is lots of good reading on growth (like this post by Paul Graham from 2012, which is still super valid: http://www.paulgraham.com&

This is terrible for anyone who relies on Flash to get any kind of interactivity going inside the FB timeline. It would have been better if FF would just display a warning and then let the user decide if they want the Flash content blocked

I had to do this many times and the advice from steven2012 is gold. Do it personally, do it with dignity. It is important for those who stay as most likely you will be laying off some of their friends. Do everything you can to allow those w

I believe any question that relates to your life outside work such as your marital status, your kids or how your relationship would endure a startup job can get you in trouble in the U.S. - but I am not a U.S. HR pro. However, I learned tha

I am not sure I understand the reason for doing this? Why not set a calendar reminder, which then pops up at the desired time? I find mail more and more useless as all the important stuff gets overrun by spam.

Someone figuring out how many customers a bakery needs to survive and then guessing the number of people who live in New York and deducting the number of bakeries from that. Not bad :)

Yes, I had it happen that people are great on paper and in the interview and did not work out. In each case it was a sales hire. The people in question were excellent sales reps. They knew how to sell themselves as well. However, one of the

what is so great about introducing gadgets like car play into old and outdated technology like cars that need gas? Seriously, the big innovation in the car industry is coming from Tesla and not from Google or Apple. Tesla's plans to ha

Like it. I do think there is a need for a site like eduhunt. Teachers are constantly on the prowl for good new tools (at least good teachers are). If the site becomes as big in its niche as Product Hunt, it will provide a much needed curate

your post really does not want me to ever upgrade my MacBook Pro from 2012. What I really love about this machine is that a) you almost never need to reboot it (I do it out of habit once per week) b) it has never slowed down All the folks t

You still have it a lot easier than Germans or French folks for example, where you also need to consider formal (Sie) and informal (Du) forms when addressing people.

way to go France. Instead of punishing the guys who riot and light up cars in the streets, you punish an innovative disruptor.
