One thing that has really helped me is a mastermind. While I know the mastermind is for entrepreneurs, is there something similar for coders?
Also, check out local groups like cocodevs or meetups.

Re:Ask HN: What do you call someone who has 20 apps released but can't...

I typically outsource through oDesk, It was very hard the first time but each time gets easier. The hard part is keeping decent developers. Even the good ones, you become a side project after the first one, despite increased budgets. Typically, they don't turn down work and you suffer instead of them telling you to wait a month and risk losing you. I have had a simple crappy app made for $75 all they way up to a few grand. Typical release ready non-game app can be had around $750. Games apps can be all over the place as far as development costs.
Ask HN: What do you call someone who has 20 apps released but can't code?
I wrote my first 3 Android apps and they sucked plus took a long time. So I switched gears to mockups, photoshop and outsourcing code. I have about 20 apps now, but I am not sure what yo call myself.<p>Is this a marketable skill within a company? What further training/degrees/etc. should I pursue?

I know it sounds weird, but I have been using a dresser as a test for a standing desk before making the investment.I seem to really be moving as a stand at my computer. I lean on one leg or stand really wide. What does everyone else do? Am I weird?

Interesting read as I hire mainly through oDesk, hopping to be able to hire full-time developers some day.

It can be tough, I'm in a technical/educational environment yet I cannot find anyone interested. Has anyone had luck with meetups or something similar?

It is open to anyone just starting out or if they have been doing it a while and are trying to take it to the next level. The only requirement is participation. Let me know what you think.

I’m Wes and I’m a wantpreneur. I have a full time job and I have been developing web/android apps for over a year.

However, I’m ready to take it to the next level and I am struggling again. I am looking to start something...

Re:Ask HN: When is a startup a startup?

Thanks for the response. I have created a few low quality android apps and make about $30-40 a month. It is a hobby, hopefully something more in the future.
I'm just amazed at how freely the term 'startup' is used to label anything and everything.
