I was thinking something along the lines of a portfolio of work or LinkedIn profile to get a better sense of your skills/identity. I actually have a scraping project related to a nonprofit grants prospecting startup and wanted to see if you

I think scammers, even the ones in Nigeria, use a wide variety of tactics. I think it's prudent to be wary in a situation like this, where the OP is explicitly looking to offer services for money in an unusual situation in what will likely

Hang out at top universities. People there are ambitious and always looking to work on stuff - and there's usually an event or club or two that you can attend where you can meet like-minded, action-biased individuals, even of you're not a s

I think you're being unfair. 1. The person on Twitter doesn't exclusively ask Ryan about the business. He specifically asks how he spends his day. Even if the asker wanted to know more about the business and less about his day, Ryan's respo

You might like Durham, NC. Small town feel with a slower pace compared to the big cities, but a decent startup scene with a few local incubators and universities nearby. If you want to work for a big company, Lenovo and a couple other big c

Hackers also like living and working near other hackers in a hacker-supportive community. Also, if you're a Berkeley or Stanford grad, you probably prefer living in an exciting city like San Francisco instead of staying in suburbia. And eve

I've started and stopped programming, but feel like http://www.teamtreehouse.com has been really helpful. They have lots of videos to help fill gaps in knowledge, with a bunch on building web apps from start to finish, including RoR and o

To offer a different perspective, I disagree with jnorthrop and think your value proposition is clear - you're helping companies encourage customers to share purchases and provide metrics of how that sharing affects the bottom line. I like

Under the ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct, providing legal advice without a license potentially could be considered "practicing law without a license" or, for licensed attorneys, the creation of an attorney-client relationship, wh

I was in a similar position as you: C++ experience from AP Comp Sci courses in high school, CS106X (accelerated intro-level CS course at Stanford, ended up majoring in something else), and Wordpress hacking from various projects. Worked thr

The idea is nice - when my fiancée and I travel to Taiwan for our honeymoon, I'd probably want to read reviews from people who travel like us (or have also planned out a couple vacation) rather than just any tourist. Some comments on design

It's funny - a lot of my classmates at Stanford who started out in non-CS programs switched midway or picked up coding skills later. There are three startups that come to mind, two of which are YC alums, where at least one co-founder did no
