Think of it this way: you don't have nearly as much to lose as you once thought. On the other hand, you'd better start living a good life now, because while you're alive is all you've got.

Better to live a day as a lion... you know the rest. Maybe I'm not old enough, maybe it's because I don't have a family, but I'd rather do something few others have done than just lay around with my family until they send me off to the reti

It's bad because those people ONLY plan to work hard, but not work SMART. It isn't just about building to flipping. They would never start a business at all. There is much more honor in pushing papers around and accomplishing nothing at som

Unless valleywag changed their post, I see nothing wrong with what they posted there. In fact, the above reply is more inflammatory. That said, the reversal to a payed model seems fine to me. It even sets a good example for the rest of us w

Your blog is very optimistic. You'll need that:) This is an interesting topic. I'm always trying to learn more about what other people do for publicity. I get really tired of all the bs stories with the founders who claim that they just tol

I don't know, I start to change for the worse when I isolate myself from all people while programming for a very long time. Good thing we have the internet these days.

Interesting, but this is just stupid: > Here's a tip. If you want to make money, why not offer something of real value to your visitors like a product or service. Provide content that is so good that people will want to pay for it. That

"There are strict taboos against money that isn't earned with sweat from the brow" A relative of mine grew up with many orientals and she too holds this attitude. It seems very strange to me but now at least I know where it came from.
