Re:Ask HN: Looking to learn some more marketing on Thursday October 22, 2015 @02:00PM (#10433756)
Better than any course is real life experience, learning as you go.

Here's an idea. Pick a product on Clickbank, set up an affiliate and train your marketing chops with it.

Re:Ask HN: Which of these Job Ad writing strategies do you use? on Thursday October 08, 2015 @06:16AM (#10351783)

Ask HN: Which of these Job Ad writing strategies do you use?

Hey there!Imagine you are a developer. You need work. You decide to go to your usual job boards to have a look. And then……That feeling when you are looking for a job and you wade through hundreds and hundreds of job ads that all look alike, they all read like a dry laundry list of requirements, and they all feel like they come from one big boring corporation that you DON’T want to work for?...

Tell HN: I am tired of programming, this is what I am doing next

If I write one more line of code I think I'm going to puke.This may be burn-out or it may be not. The point is, I do not want to do programming anymore. I am sick of it.I am changing my career path, and I want to do it as quickly as humanly possible... 100 days to STOP being a programmer.http://100daystogo.co

Re:Ask HN: How happy are you? on Monday March 31, 2014 @04:07AM (#7500252)
"happy" is not something constant so it is difficult for me to evaluate it as a whole. For example, right now, as I am about to go to work, my happiness level is at around 4. But When weekend comes and I am doing my thing, then it can go up to 7.
i did not find the comment rude, nor immature. In fact, i tend to agree with it.
Re:What I Didn't Say on Monday December 30, 2013 @04:17PM (#6987019)
This. A million times this.
i think it was '97, I was 23 and I met internet for the first time. Never programmed before. But there and then, I fell in love with computers. Sarted making music on the computers. Started doing illustrations on the computer. Learned programming.

I too, think this is awesomely funny and very well constructed! Shame that github censored it.

I am very much interested in this topic too - specifically for the UK market.
Re:Ask HN: I'm afraid I will always be a mediocre developer on Monday October 21, 2013 @02:33AM (#6583737)
I hope things get better for you really soon. And thank you for reminding me to be grateful for the things i've got.
Re:Ask HN: How habits work? hacking habits advice on Sunday October 20, 2013 @04:26AM (#6579290)
The new habit you want to introduce should be a small thing (maybe a tiny component of a bigger change you want). And you always have to set a trigger for it and celebrate once you do it... Stupid example: I want to introduce flossing my teeth, so i start with a tiny habit - flossing just one tooth right before i start brushing my teeth. The trigger is something I already do every day and it already is my habit - brushing my teeh. So, everytime i go to the bathroom with the aim to brush my teeth, I imediately remember that I'll floss one tooth. And after I do it, I congratulate myslef for doing it (a celebration).

Important - you can't start with 25 habits you want to change. You will fail if you do. Start with 2 - 3 really tiny ones.

You might want to try tiny habit exercise: http://tinyhabits.com/join/

And you alsow might find this book helpful understanding how habits work: http://www.amazon.com/The-Power-Habit-What-Business/dp/14000...

Re:New Zealand bans some software patents on Wednesday August 28, 2013 @08:15AM (#6289369)
I am really impressed lately with New Zealand (it started with this MP speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfSGOK5jC9I).

Finally a country that is trying to correct the nonsense that are software patents.

i can already predict loads of Vine cat movies ;)
word to that! :)
Re:Dear YC companies, I responded. You could do the same. on Tuesday April 09, 2013 @05:24PM (#5521500)
Totally agree. Even worse is when a company promotes a certain set of values on their blog and elsewhere but then fails to actually be what they "preach" :|

Re:My Journey Starts Here on Tuesday March 12, 2013 @08:51AM (#5361457)
good luck and i wish you from the deepest of my heart that you make it.

I see myself in your story - with few corrections it can actually be my own: expat, recovering from a breakup, left permanent jobs to pursue freelancing while waiting to find my purpuse ...
