"It has pushed me to reconsider. The number 1 company I want to work for instead is Uber mostly because of it's astounding growth -> I'm more likely to get rich."
Ask yourself how likely ? Is it 50% or more like 1% ? I know very little about Uber, mind you.

I just wrote a buggy program, should I stop programming ?
I just failed a business, should I stop being a business man ?
Obviously you should stop because it never worthwhile to spend time on what you like to do :)

Hype (partially) is a factor. Others are :
- Fear of missing out on the "next" facebook.
- Investors are risk averse. They tend to flock in to deals where other investors are already in.
- Disruptive market technology (with huge potential payout) -> invest a lot -> get bigger equity/ownership percentage and then make some big returns.

2%-5% I would say.

Serie A ? If yes, 1% equity min, more if your direct boss is the CTO/CEO.

Well, if he is also working for free, then it is "reasonable". If he is not, then why should you ? Unless the reward/risk ratio is very good for you.

- Do non CRUD work outside work
- Once you have enough experience/knowledge, seek out a non CRUD job.

Write code with it. Nothing beats hand-on experience.

I believe the system should mimic the email system:
- a simple unique identifier. Eg: [email protected], [email protected]
- any mail client would do
- mail content (amount and currency details)
Paypal does this but: - it is fairly convoluted process now - requires Paypal software (website or app)

You are right. Code optimisation should be a process rather than a task in itself.

Priority list ? Good idea. I have a JIRA instance for my project with all tasks though none of them are prioritised. It might seems slightly overkill but I guess I could use it to prioritise task/issues with it.
PS: Lumberjack ? Are you the one who wrote the Cocoa Lumberjac logging API by any chance ?
How long has your C++ or iOS or Android taken to develop?
I have been trying to develop iOS/C++ apps for the past year and I have not finished any single one yet.How long do you usually take to make a beta version of your app ?
Little development time vs perfect code?
I am sure I am not the only one to have this "issue".I have created some small libraries for my side projects (mainly C++ lately) but I keep spending an awful lot amount of time trying to make it look good and take into account all corner cases while I should probably just be hacking away to get something working (i.e some kind of prototype).How do you guys deal that ?
