    Hello - Software Engineer from Vancouver, Canada!

    Welcome Idinh. It is great to see a Software Engg on forum who has expertise in Python/Django. Are you developing any prototype to scratch your own itch? I could not stop asking because I have been learning Rails since last few months and I absolutely love it. Especially the prototype...

    1 million in 7 months? Have you made your first 1k from passive income? If not then stop day dreaming and start thinking how to make first 1k. I do not want to sound rude but 1 million is not enough for your dream. You need to make more to get into movie industry. Heck even if you have several...

    Want A Front Row Seat To Watch a Train Wreck?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I do not know if it is coincidence. Since last three or four year, I used to buy regularly from buy.com. But I have stopped buying since one and half years (right exactly when rakuten started showing up in their front page header). It is not because of Rakuten name though. I felt that they are...

    Man outsources his job to China. Spends free time on reddit

    FUNNY 
    Sometimes really smart people do stupid things too. I mean why did he send the USB authentication token to China? What if the other guy break into the system and do something huge damage such as wiping the database or implant malware. He just could have delegated the job and should have received...

    Non-Technical Founders: Stop Learning How To Code

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I agree with Skys. There are few stories when people started learning new skills at their late stage of life and still made big impact. It is how you look into it. My personal story is: I am from health care background with tons of ideas which involve interfacing both software technologies and...

    Do you need free logo? hit me up!

    I absolutely agree with MJ. It is a brilliant idea to market your skills without driving away or turning off people. I can make a corollary example to that. When we go to a food court in a mall you see some Chinese or Vietnamese restaurants offering you a bite from different dishes to taste how...

    What have you learned this year? (Updated: 2024)

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Wow, so much of wisdom. Things I learned in 2012 and before years:- 1. Everyone you meet is better than you at something. So work with them and try to find and leverage their skills, knowledge and expertise. 2. Never ever put your fate in other people's hand. Or try not to put yourself in a...

    On my way - my first product order

    Hi Blackkramer, I am just curious. Why did you decide to import instead of export? I meant Canada is rich in natural resources. You can make more money by exporting natural resources (have not much idea but guess minerals, oils and woods and wood pulp etc) and goods related to it compared to...

    Monogamy vs Opportunity. Who Wins?

    MJ has hit on the head. If you have too many ideas then it is to pursue one or two. But not more than that else you will not able to give enough time to test which one is working. Slowly you will know which one is bringing more dough and has to the chance to scale. Obviously you have to kill...

    Take it in a positive way. You have now all the time to devote to your business. As healthstatus said, one day you have to show her(his Dad and the rest of world) that you have the potential and she was dumb enough to find that potential in you. It should motivate you like hell to go for. Also...

    NaPal. It is a great idea. In fact I had the same problem in my last apartment. The chain will get stuck and the water will be flowing all night which is bad for pocket. The product has to be a non stretchable material and at the same time it will be slippery enough not to get caught at any...
