Argument accepted. US and Germany are a totally different world, as I learn from HN every day. Here in Germany U don't get anything out of Open Source contributions. Not even web startups are looking for that attribute.

Ur answer shows clearly, what big mistake the YC guys did. If they just want to be in Ur company, they should've asked U that for free. I think if PG comes to some one year startup and says "Hi, I wanna be in Ur company for 5%" nobody will

Why did you clicked on the link? I clicked on the link to get an answer the question that was the result of this article. :-( But anyway, it is good to be reminded, that not working too directly is the key point.

with guidance from HN and friends I have changed a little bit. Hope this is better (but still does not feel good enough): """The company ticket-web GmbH & Co. KG faces a big step in its evolution. The supplier of technical solutions for

Hi alain, thanks for your help. I will look to find better phrases, to replace these. @your PS: Yes and No. I thought maybe for a week about adding this question here. In the end I decided to do it, because: - it is about what I hack - As r

I wanted to write the same advice. Read that blog, from the beginning! And stop writing a business plan! You don't need one (at least as long it is not a task from one of your professors). I would suggest these sources, too: http://startup

Hi RiderOfGiraffes, thanks for your harsh critique. No I didn't use any translater but my own mind. ;) If you still want to help me, please tell me, what exactly did you understand until now. Maybe this way I am able to see, where I have to

I like to see that with actual data! Nice post! I just want to add, if you write less words, every word counts more. So you must be more careful, too, if you write shorter messages. I wonder how the stats would look, if you take this in con

what can I learn from this article? That is, what I can read there: You have to create images and sounds and if you can't you have to buy them. And no matter what you do, in the end you still have to pay your rent (what will be more as $1,

There is that point, too, where you not have to look up how to formulate something in your new programming language, but can write it just down. Is that not "fluent"? What do you guys think about learning just one programming language or ju

this stuff is not reinventing the wheel. it is just building your own wheel, to better understand how it works. and other people (like i.e. me) like it, because then they don't have to write C, when they want to hack a little bit into the p

Yeah, yeah... In the past everything was better. The trees where more green, the summers where more sunny. Even the women looked better in the 90s. I am sure you had more hair in the 90s (or from personally guessing your age, maybe you have
