Re:Dell in $24 Billion Deal to Go Private on Tuesday February 05, 2013 @10:04AM (#5170937)
I guess they get $13.65 per share in cash and that's it

Exactly! For $2bn out of $24bn they can talk but not much more.
Obviously everything depends on hmexx's credentials, but I think to many this may be quite attractive proposition (depending how fast you can achieve MVP) eg. if it's a 1-2 month thing you can just take a break from contracting and do this - if it works out - great! you have 50% of the business if not then you just go back to contracting...
Re:Show HN: Landing page for my startup on Sunday September 23, 2012 @10:05AM (#4560959)
We have just deployed first version of our online survey software. We think we have built some great features (more coming soon).

I realize there is still a lot of rough places there, but we're working hard to improve the site and make the landing page as clear as possible.

All suggestions and opinions welcome.

Re:Ask HN: Where would you go if HN shutdown for 1 month? on Thursday August 23, 2012 @05:03AM (#4421496)
I'd go on vacation or do more work ;) and sure I'd come back after a month!
There is a lot of good advice in previous comments.

I'm just wondering, how is that you say you can code and you cant find a job / project to work on. I did my first project for money in PHP when I was 16 - no degree, no experience and not much code to show - just few HelloWorld playpen projects.

People rarely ask developers for a degree and even if they do, once you have impressive code to show is worth much more.

So my advice would be maybe harsh but simple - stop complaining and get working!

you can always use "drug dealer's" method - do the first project for free :)

as most comments mentioned before - there is plenty of those apps around - I don't really see anything new in this one...
