    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    As a programmer, I tried to outsource a couple of components just to see if I could speed up development time. Was a pain in the a$$. The guy on the other end deliberately tried to make the whole thing more complicated and tried to bait me into paying more. When I hit back with a technical...

    The Slow Death of a Cubicle Life

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You know what's sad, the public library I've started working out of has a hot desk room with free desks, that have 3x the space yours does. I started the cubicle shit at 17 years old, and from the second I started full time I had the feeling something wasn't right. 24 now and tried 5 different...

    Is anyone making iOS games right now?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I programmed a Trivia game from scratch and launched it last month, and it has been ticking along well. An incredible amount of time and effort went into building it - I did all of the database development, wrote all of the application logic, all of the user interface, developed all the sound...

    Fighting Introversion

    MINDSET 
    I am introverted by nature, but a lot of people describe me as very outgoing and more of an extravert. I learnt to behave as extroverted. Put myself into conversations, hold conversations, chat, mingle, work the room. The social anxiety I had when I was at is gone. I am fine with meeting new...

    Motivation and Validation Story

    MINDSET 
    Don't ban yourself from the bar - limit the amount of poison you drink (if any.. who says you have to drink anything but water) Or you could do what the anorexic bitches do and just hold a drink all night. Nobody would notice if you did that. Networking and socialising isn't a waste of time...

    Want to Build iOS Apps?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I hate objective C, as I've always been a website developer. I wrote my third iOS Application 'TriviCup' in HTML5, Javascript and CSS. I can port it to iOS, Android and Windows with much less effort as I don't have to write it 3 times over and manage 3 sets of code . Read up on PhoneGap and...

    Slowlane Business>Fastlane Business

    EXECUTION SLOWLANE 
    You absolutely should. The web and webpages aren't going anywhere, the way people access them is merely changing. The internet will be here with or without the desktop PC. Smartphones, Mobiles, Tablets and soon, perhaps - wearable tech (Google Glass etc) - will replace it.

    Freelance Web Developer causing massive HEADACHE!!

    PEOPLE 
    Cut your losses and move on. Also, if you know nothing about web-dev, are the requirements getting lost in translation? Projects stuff up easily between two natively english speaking people if one is non-technical.. add to that the language barrier and you've got a recipe for disaster. You may...

    Is it better to hire a web developer or take the time to learn it yourself

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I was lucky enough to work in Website & Application developer roles right out of high school since 18, and i'm 24 now. All I'm going to say is, three years is going to pass by anyway. The web will still be around in three years, we'll probably all be more dependent on it than we are now (think...

    Droped out to pursue start-up?

    EXECUTION 
    If your business model works and you see continued demand in the future, you should find efficiency and scale it.

    Slowlane Business>Fastlane Business

    EXECUTION SLOWLANE 
    The shift towards tablets and mobile technology may see the PC phased out in the next 5-10 years or its home use drastically reduced. Look at trends emerging.. :)

    Just need your advice and opinion on creating my website.

    MINDSET 
    Websites and Applications are code. They are not bricks, materials, expensive steel and concrete. If you F*ck it all up, the worst case scenario is actually not bad because all the work you did on that one, can be taken and rolled into the next project. If it succeeds, you can still do the same...

    If You Don't Understand People, You Don't Understand Business

    MINDSET 
    He is already fulfilling a giant need in society. The need to entertain and temporarily motivate the procrastinator. Not that I can talk.. I mean I'm sitting here reading and replying to this instead of working. On that note, bye!!

    Hello! Again... from Australia.

    Hi everyone I was on here two years ago following the boards closely, quit my FT job at 21, and started two ventures, which both failed. After falling into a slight rut, I picked myself up, dusted myself off, and at my lowest point... I re-printed my resume and spammed it out to IT agencies. I...

    Increase My Earnings / Rate my site

    MARKETING 
    So I've launched my website - www.CarCrisp.com.au, and work on it in my spare time/weekends. It's making about $10 a week and it's not enough but hey, it's a start. Obviously, out of the people who do hit my page, people are buying my products, (they're car air fresheners) but I need to increase...
