It's really nice that you've found a few spineless coders to do work for you at a reduced rate because you cater to their egos - you are a superior businessman. In my opinion any "great" programmer will strike out on…
I wasn't trying to be cool, I was answering his question in a straight forward and honest manner. Other people seem to be more interested in trying to blow smoke up his ass talking about interesting problem domains and…
Anyone who claims that money is an adjunct and doesn't work in academia or charity is bullshitting not only who they're talking to, but themselves as well.
Sure you did, you mentioned elance didn't you?
Good, reliable programmers are very expensive. Think $200k/year minimum. This might not have entered into your vision of reality but I assure you that's how it works. If you keep getting shafted by cheap programming…

Every time I've thought about using Twisted for something, I go back to their documentation and remember why I wrote it myself with asyncore last time.
Stop the madness. Just stop it.
I think I admire Ellison more.
"We want someone who is passionate enough to spend the weekend working on something cool" Tell them you want more cash and equity for your hard work. If they don't give it to you, quit. Why are you putting yourself…
At the risk of sounding crude, I experimented with all sorts of drugs and sex in college, but the best high I've found yet is scoring business. Maybe I am a money loving robot, but that's my position on the matter.
> I stayed up for 3 days without sleep to implement this thing You probably could have done it in 2 days if you had slept.
This is what I've always done. Are there really people out there who feel the need to explain themselves to carwash attendants and waiters???
This story has so many missing pieces it's not even worth reading. What I want to know is who's the engineer he suckered into getting his first codebase up and running?
The use of words instead of numbers to indicate integer values is especially annoying to me.
I don't know if this is "beautifully designed" - more like "sparsely and starkly designed, which conforms to someone's particular idea of beauty".
NEWSFLASH: As people get older, they start turning into the old people!
> how much of a loser we actually are. And if that happens, then you go back to fixed income and live happily ever after. At least you're not left with the unknown.
I think reality is somewhere in between "V-shaped recovery" and his predictions of misery until the end of 2011.
> Adding software cannot improve the hardware What do you mean "eh"? Software can definitely, without a doubt improve the performance of the hardware. That's what device drivers and firmware exist for.
Like regular velcro, shear load capacity is probably much, much higher than the force it takes to pull apart. Think about the most common application of velcro - shoes - you're keeping the two sides of the shoe…
Yeah, rsync.net
