Give me a break. No self respecting "nerd" would call himself a nerd.

..here comes the white knights.

Just another example of selling pickaxes in a gold rush.

I hope people are skeptical of these results. I wouldn't be surprised if you made most of your money from your get rich quick program.

You had to take a course from another "how to get rich" type to realize the power of compounded growth?

The game's up when people like you start commenting on this board. Don't you have a SCRUM of SCRUM meetings to attend? That VB.NET isn't going to write itself.
Thanks for the downvotes because you kids can't read. I'm talking about the "Nail It Then Scale It" book being a copy, not "4 steps.."

No, they are dumb, and you can find them in abundance in pretty much any MBA entreprenuership class.
I believe there's even a startup that sells startup "plays", which are just excel spreadsheets with todo lists, and they're killing it.

I'd love to but I don't use FaceBook.

Automate your testing.

Ask HN: What happens to startups with legitimate A players?

I've worked at half a dozen companies over the course of a decade, and at each one there are 2-3 guys who are head and shoulders better than everyone else. I'm wondering what would happen if you stuck 10 of these "A" players in the same room for 3 months? And no, the ivory tower mouth breathers at google/amazon/apple don't count as "A" players.

Ask HN: Anybody live in government housing?

I'm about to start a company and will draw little to no salary for 1-2 years. I believe this qualifies me for government housing. Has anyone gone down this route before? I live in Massachusetts, USA which apparently has many social programs.
