Are you kidding me? This is just regurgitated bullshit with upsell's and ad's for his own gain wrapped around it.
1. Am I Passionate About This Business? 2. What Am I Passionate About? 3. What Problem Am I Solving? - "remember to stay Laser Beam Focused!"
This is complete garbage...
I actually have found many great examples searching through the archives of HN. What I would prefer is something that helps hackers get out from behind their computer and effectively sell to potential clients, in person. Something that helps hackers effectively communicate with others, in person. Things like this would be helpful to me...
Who says I haven't? All I'm saying is I wish he'd charge more. He would get more money overall from the people who would not have thought to do such a thing :)
Honestly, I wish he would charge more. I've gained so much value from this over the years that I would gladly pay a much higher monthly fee.
Totally agree, I still remember the pain I had almost a decade ago install something as simple as a Borland C++ IDE. What a nightmare that was for a newb like me, zero resources online to dig through. Today, you want setup and IDE or get iPad development going? There are TON's of resources with thousands of examples. Hitting an error when setting it up? Copy, paste that error into Google. 9.9 times out of 10 you get someone who hit that error before and has already solved it.
I'm just not buying into this "oh, life is so hard to set stuff up nowadays" routine...
I'm not following you on the pain of setup. I'm finding it easier to setup things these days than I could 10 years ago.
- Need a webserver and database setup? Easy, a few clicks on Heroku and I'm good to go.
- Need to learn how to program something that you can then deploy to Heroku? Easy, just follow these 13 steps and you're on your way:

WTF is so painful about this?
