What most programmers/writers/innovators often forget is that unless they spend time/effort and money on getting the word out about their products, the world will never see it. It surprises me how often I come across people that believe their product "will sell itself" and totally ignore marketing. Computers world wide are filled with great projects that not more then a handful of people will see. Whatever your idea is, make sure to spend as much time as you spend creating it, thinking and planning out your marketing of same product. Without it, your idea will still be "the best in the world" but nobody will ever know about it.

Ok, I will give it a go. The distractions from Chat are huge when coding. But I just have to look if I see a new chat pop up. So the only option is to bite the bullet and turn it off I suppose.

I'm only surprised that astronomers haven't concluded this long ago... Speaking of which, there has been a lot of these new astro sightings this year. Did they do something to the Kepler? I thought that spacetelescope was abandoned due to technical problems. What am I missing?

FTA "Mornings are for quiet, uninterrupted, and focused work. No emails, no chat, no calls until lunch break." I would agree with that. But how do I solve my addiction to chat? I feel naked when I go offline...

Well this is day 1 for me and I am loving HN already.

I'm making way too little if this is true...
