It looks amazing. I'm trying to figure out the best way to read this. The printed option looks good. This is definitely something I want to sit down with and soak in.

Before you hit compile, look at the key lines of code that you just wrote and think about exactly what you expect them to do. Then compile and run the code. Don't rush to compile. It'll take longer in the long run. Also, it's less enjoyable

I read about half of Dive Into Python, and it was pretty advanced stuff. It's good if you know another programming language very well. The book starts out slow, but the difficulty curve accelerates very fast. I wouldn't read it cover to cov

Heroku is awesome. Great idea, great vision. Scalable hosting makes so much sense for web applications. If they get it developed and working properly I'd definitely pay to use their service.

Yeah the tech talks are awesome. The Museum of Computer History has some great lectures on tech talks. One that I particularly like is titled "Great Principles of Computing". It's a nice summary of the past few decades of computing principl

Yeah I'd like that too. It could have more about learning how to build software and different technologies.

Nice. I like your list. I forgot about reasons 9 and 10. I've known some pretty opinionated people who I would imagine would be very hard to do collaborative work with.

Lol about the "dreaded single founder thread". I don't keep up with YC News everyday, so after I posted I figured that this topic has definitely come up before. Oh well. Maybe people have changed their views since the last time it was poste

Yeah I agree. Working on something with someone who is excited about the project is a pretty great thing. Combining strengths is definitely a huge advantage too.

An alternate for the question would be: What advantages are there for having a co-founder? Mostly I'd like to read people's opinions and not particularly argue for one side. In my opinion, the right answer depends completely on what type of

The way I see it now, it's a harder to stay focused and committed to one vision if you are by yourself. Having a co-founder forces you to choose one thing, define it so that both of you understand it, and then show up every-day to implement

What are the downsides of being a single founder (ie. not having a co-founder)?

It took me a pretty long time to get excited about engineering. It's kind of funny, because University really made me dislike education/learning so much that I had to go discover all the good stuff on my own. In the article, I definitely ag

I like this post because it shows what it's like in a different part of the world. Reminds of Bill Gates's recent talks on global inequity. I liked this quote: 'I have this idea in mind that regular players should understand that people do

That was hilarious. I still can't really gauge how serious that guy was. From the article: "Situation 7: you have a small, lightweight startup company filled with cool young people with long blue-tinted hair and nose rings and tongue rivets

Sorry about being off-topic. I posted it in a flash without really thinking, and it didn't even occur to me that it was off-topic. The reason why I asked is because I am still trying to figure out what kind of program/service I would want/n

I've read most of Paul Graham's essay's and have read that he was a philosophy/classics major, so I wonder what sorts of books influenced him. I'd like to read a few of the old books too, but I don't know where to start. Here is a constrain

I'm reminded of the quote that goes something like "don't let your schooling get in the way of your education." The reason I think this applies is because engineering isn't really like what is taught in schools. It's probably the best you c

Yeah Woz and Jobs were a great combo. It amazes me how well they matched. It seems harder to identify a good "Jobs" type person. Good presentation skills... Couldn't you just get a smooth talking MBA type? An MBA that is good with technolog

Great interview. 10/10 I love how Woz described his relationship with Steve Jobs. What a great story of how Apple got started.
