Re:ROI of Coding Schools vs. MBA
on Wednesday May 01, 2013 @02:00AM (#5636686)
I think these are fair points, and building on those points, doesn't it support that traditional 4-year and 2-year degrees may not be delivering education as valued by the market place? I can add that - at least for the current market - coding school graduates are finding jobs at the published market rates with relative ease ... in the Bay Area as you note. Can't comment for elsewhere.

What would be alternatives that come to your mind vs meteor?

The meteor-based app seems to be speedier ... maybe because of the way it's handling server-client data relationship better?

ummm ... so, well, if you really want to be loved and be genuinely good, then think about open sourcing. interesting pattern i'm observing among the new (younger) generation of developers ... many are implicitly not testing IE, and some are opening rejecting IE support ... and I don't think it was a question of performance as it was the values that go into the browser and the community behind it.
Here's an example from earlier this year. http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/01/bootstrapped-startup-saves-...

Right on. I second these sentiments. First, keep up the good work and best of luck moving forward. Very good that you're also reflecting on your successes and failures - always be learning.
The most challenging piece of a new business is, well, new business. And it's about growing your value proposition organically, one customer at a time, and refining the business. Analyzing bump in media attention won't really help you on that piece of the search.
Once you've nailed down the search, and you're simply focused on getting more publicity as you scale, then perhaps that sort of analysis will be of more use. But, I doubt it.
Re:Startup Ideas: A Simple But Powerful Heuristic
on Friday November 30, 2012 @05:16AM (#4852639)
Simple, maybe too simple of a generalization of certain market dynamics. For one thing, all businesses can be broken down to two or more sub-processes, and the flip seems to indicate the fact that there are overlaps between the role of the buyer and seller, or between the supply and demand sides of the market.
What matters is how might one might apply the heuristic to one's business - if it helps you, then power to you. God speed.
