That's the same way I got to know everyone I now consider friends and advisors when I moved to San Francisco without knowing anyone. I agree that coffee dates with brutally honest people are the best - they may sting a little but I've learn

This is brilliant - i'm in the same boat as your sister and I'm loving the very simple, very encouraging platform they've provided. Perfect for us non-techy people.

Definitely more to the story... but still a fascinating look at how degrees don't mean everything (obviously)

I've found this particularly beneficial when having meetings with people who are more successful than you or have wisdom to impart. I try to say very little except things that will goad them on (to talk more) since within each conversation

"His misdeed was to think thoughts that are not allowed to be thought" << could not agree w/ this more, people are WAY too sensitive on both sides & fail to realize what really matters in life (including freedom of thought).

Thanks! Yep, we're up, running & making money - rolling out a biz model change next week which gives us more recurring revenue.

Lol, thank you for being funny :) This thread has brightened my day - and stirred up a serious desire for a pudding cup.

Crap, it's getting more offensive the more you think about it? :(

It could be :) You definitely don't leave Vegas unscathed

Like I said, wasn't meant to be a cleavage shot - just a picture - I didn't dissect it and think "hmm... how many people will be offended by this" maybe i am just jaded from growing up in Vegas but in my world that is so not a big deal.

I see what you're saying, definitely not trying to join that camp, but point taken.

I don't expect someone to work as long as I do, I know this is my baby - maybe that's a line I should cross out. I think 8 like a normal job is great, if someone gets excited about a project & wants to work late w/ me I'd enjoy it - tha

I'm assuming I won attention whore from the tone of your comment? I'll take it, though the whore part is a bit offensive - but I usually don't bitch about things that offend me. I'm not knowledgeable enough w/ technology - hence why I'm loo

That line was a joke... I like to try and be clever in my writing but obviously it often falls flat :) The strength of the position is how far we've got without a CTO - product shipped, iterations made, sales & traction - not me or my p

it is how i represent myself online & off - just me being me, nothing racy or sexual intended.

First off, that's just a cool picture I like. I didn't even notice any cleavage until you mentioned it - sorry - wasn't meant to offend. I wouldn't be offended if a guy had buff arms in a picture or his shirt opened a little & you could

Yep, you caught me I got confused on effect & affect - guess i should open a whole new position for it. Though the idea of someone watching over our pudding & panty operating does sound appealing since that is a large part of our op

I work all night, I work from early morning to late, late at night so yes I do expect someone to work with me...

Since we recruit half of our VA's from the Philippines it makes perfect sense to have an office there & a person who takes care of recruiting directly from the Philippines. We're bringing in a designer in S.F. but for now - since we're

No several people said that :) I didn't realize the double meaning - see, this is why I need someone far more tech savvy than myself.

by maren 15y ago
Totally agree - I'm a complete newbie when it comes to tech but I am learning at a fast clip because of HN :)

Great points on storytelling

So true, I'm completely non-technical but I've built a business that is bootstrapped, ramen profitable and growing - now we are actively looking for a Technical co but I'm realizing that I need to learn the basics myself as well. Awesome ar
