There's not much point posting an article here, if it's behind a paid wall ...

Hard to believe, based on evidence and everyday experience ...

"the entire Javascript community seems to suffer from ADHD"

From what you've written, you are at the stage where you put in "sweat equity".

Not meaning to sound harsh, but at this early stage, you're not really investable - and other than your immediate circle of "the 3F's (Friends, Family and Fools), no one is going to invest in you - until you prove that this is more than just an idea.

You need to get your first PAYING customers, and establish some numbers that would entice an Angel or other professional investor to take a closer look.

You will have to be creative (part time job, consulting, sell your car etc., etc.),as to how you survive or feed yourself until you get to the stage where you are "investible".

If I got a dollar everytime someone approached me for money for investing in their MVP - without first having proved that it is a viable business - I'd be a very, very, very rich man.

What the hell, was this arduous, tedious article all about?!

We do logic and rationality here, not belief systems ...

$1000 an hour?!. A fool and his money ....

Regarding your recent Kickstarter campaign, first kudos to you, and well done.

However, I'm more than a little intrigued about the mechanics of HOW you pulled that off.

More specifically - I was under the impression that Kickstarter only raised funds for companies operating (or at least based) in the US, and a few other countries (all? in the West).

How was it possible then, for a company based in Pakistan, to raise money from Kickstarter?. Were there any particular obstacles that you had to overcome?

Oh, the irony of it all ...

" it's all about not doing anything that someone can point a finger at you for later. Nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM, Oracle or Microsoft."

"Groupthink" writ large - BUT, it is the unfortunate reality.

By the time a small dynamic, free thinking company becomes an "Enterprise", it has metamorphosed into something almost unrecognisable.

If Microsoft continues like this - I'll have no choice but to start liking them and doing more dev on their platform ;)

Somehow though, I can't seem to silence the inner voice in my head that keeps asking: "Can a Leopard really change it's spots"?

It'll take a few more iterations of MS's displays of commitment to "Openness" to get me to believe that they have fully embraced the concept.

I won't be holding my breath ...

Drawing conclusions from a sample size of 1. Never a good practise

Wow, is that your take from the article? It just goes to show you can't please everyone.

I wonder if you would feel different if you were the one UNDER that bus?

Ok. let me put it this way. If it was YOU under the bus, would you appreciate it if the bus was lifted off you?

Funny how when I put it like that - suddenly the answer becomes "obvious" to you.

It's cold blooded "logical" (to an extreme) people like you that are often a menace to society.

One of the more profound things I have read in a long time. It seems to confirm a lot of things I have long suspected ...

Career advice for a 13 year old? - GTFOH

YOLO - a 13 year old shouldn't have to be worrying about a career FFS!

In order of relevance to ME:

1. Give less of a fuck (without being an arsehole or deliberating provoking others), but being more adventurous and establishing my own truths, rather than accepting generally perceived "wisdom" of sheeple.

2. Be more bold (did I mention that already?) - Yes, Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

3. Of course, have more sex ...

Makes one proud to be a Brit - or more specifically, a Scott!

"Our equity prices now mostly represent central bank interest rates."

What are you talking about?. I fear you may be confusing the Fixed Income market with the Equity market.

Equities (in general, as a class), are negatively correlated with interest rates. Specific sectors though (e.g. Banks) may be more positively correlated to interest rates - but overall, the link is tenuous, at best.

You are aware - this article is behind a wall?

Best title ever ...

Too much time on their hands, and not enough REAL problems to keep them occupied.

And the point of this being ...?

Crying IS a sign of weakness and immaturity. Ever wondered why children cry more than adults?

We're turning into a bunch of sissy, "touchy feely" men in the west - it's enough to drive anyone to suicide. This whole political correctness thing has gone too far - and I say that as a minority myself. Yeah, so I'll get downvoted - so what?! - Newsflash - there are more important things in life than points on HN!

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle".

Something unfortunately, we all have to keep reminding ourselves off (Yes, I know it's difficult to remember that when dealing with a jerk!).

Every time man tries to "disprove" the less desirable characteristics of human nature. They inadvertently end up proving it themselves.

Case in point: man abandons wife and two young daughters to prove to the world that human beings are not selfish.

My thoughts, exactly.

A voice of reason - thank god!. I really don't see why I versioning system needs to be THAT complicated FFS!
