i guess its called the unfair advantage and there is even a book by the same name!

then you can passionaltey study people and find if they are not passionate in your passion then what passions they have and make their passions evolve your passions to passionately help their passions.

very valid point- but people do start with passion and iterate being the keyword based on understanding users and the market - however if you jump straight into competition/market without having interests or passion then you are driven by numbers and other people and have nothing to fall back onto in terms of purpose/vision/mission - so someone passionate in ornamental gourd futures can use the passion in it to underdtand other peoples/passion or interests in it and then in the process develop your understanding of them to feed what they are looking for coming from your evolved passion now - youtube was hotornot pics to begin with!

Why not check your passion and interest regardless of presence/lack of competition and then you can play a long game instead of being in a reactive state.

The problem with books in general and articles is that they always refer some more books to read or go indepth so it has caused me to move even far away from taking action- even the best/top 10 books is not the final list as they themselves refer another 20-50 books so i feel like its never ending cycle of slippery slope. I have completely given up on reading books and occassionaly chatgpt the problems i am currently faciing and go from there rather than ever reading a single book or article.

wow..excellent advice. You made me day and week!!

This is really helpful. I was being pushed to upgrade by the programmers i am trying to hire who say old website code is kind of spaghetti..and a new clean rewrite in node/ruby will go a long way in hiring good bayarea programmers.

it also helps to find more programmers here in the bayarea if i switch to ruby, node etc all the cool programming dudes that i want to hire -are not in php.

Based on the website and code base i have, i just want a rough estimate..are we talking 2 weeks, 2 months or 6 months here to rebuild in a new language? does it provide any advantage that the code was already written and api's work etc in the other language? trying to see if something can be reused or is it gonna be a total build from scatch new website..

Thanks for the detailed rundown. How long do you think it will take to rebuild the existing letslunch.com website from scatch in python? just a rough estimate without going for the nitty gritty of table sizes, length, number of lines of code.. letslunch has data of 90,000 users, 60,000 lunches, 12-15 dynamic pages and about 6 api's that we use from linkedin, facebook etc

website is kind of slow and some bugs..so i am wondering if refactoring or bugs fixing is worth it or switching to a new modern language.

i thought new languages are easier,scalable, more libraries etc since they are new. But it will take more than a week for sure to port the site data to new rails/node. Thats why wanted to make sure its well worth switching.

Thanks for the helpful tips. Its hard to live in SF and not feel like missing out on Ruby/rail, node.js and other new fast and easy programming languages.

I'm an Entrepreneur with 12+ years of industry experience in product management, launched a startup www.LetsLunch.com in 6 countries and worked as SQL engineer for Wells fargo. Pretty comfortable with the life cycle of product management, PR, community management and growth.

The skill here is to flow in waves -start with socializing completely for days/weeks where you get to warmup, practice, improve your skills etc then get back to coding- again warmup,get fully into coding - while also simultaneously reflecting on the socializing you did, internalizing what you learnt, measuring your performance etc.. repeat the cycle by cutting down the time you spend in this cycle..this way you will reach a day where you can find a healthy balance and ability to switch on/off whenever you want.
