Have you actually built all the sites you mentioned on the page ? The designs look great to me. Very clean. I think it is just about right for the content. Anything more will make it too much.

Good point. But the idea is not to suggest an exact match but recommendations based on the user's preference/inputs. It could be different for everyone of course.

Before I write my advice, I want you to hear this. "Do not worry about the fact that you are not finishing your side projects. The idea is to learn and not necessarily get to the end goal i.e a working app". I am usually in same boat as you

Always happy to see Flask related stuff on HN front page :). Being a novice python wannabe, I am still struggling with thread locals but more than happy to keep working with Flask. Reading the source code is fun.

"they should follow the same legal requirements" Perhaps. But they certainly do not have the restrictions of financial audit requirements and things like Dodd Frank etc. which is overwhelming all the major banks right now and is a big way t

I just did this and it was cool. But, if you are a complete beginner to version control in general, it may not be simple to follow. It tries to explain a few things such as creating a branch, checking out etc. but for a complete beginner, t

Yes but with added responsibility of running my own payroll etc using my corporation. However, no more red tape stuff like performance management, raises, bonus etc. Client and I agree on a rate, I get paid and when done, I move on.

I have a wife and she has a decent job. No kids yet but planning one soon (next year or so). We can live off her income if we live within our means which we are doing already. I have more than 18 months of savings based on our current cos

Take a relatively non-complex but not too trivial project that you did in PHP. Do it in Rails and Django both. See how it feels and then you can possibly decide. I only work with Python but was not sure between Django and micro-framework s

Yes sure. But keep in mind that just trying to compete on price may not be enough.

Every country has its good and bad, in terms of people, culture, society, taboos etc etc. I have lived in 3 countries including the US and I think that it all comes down to how you look at things that are around you. The best thing to do is

Sorry but I agree with the parent poster. I bounced immediately when I was taken to sign-up page. Show us a demo or let us do the actual thing before you make anyone sign-up.
