2,401 | comment | danielha | 2007-03-05T19:04:18 | null | I'll be the one that points out the obvious problem in that. After realizing the strength of a domain proposal, what stops another from quickly grabbing that name? I'm assuming this is all prior to you actually registering the name yourself, since you'd sink a lot of money into purchasing every proposal you can muster up. | null | null | 2,396 | 2,396 | null | [

The company hit a positive monthly cash flow a few months ago and looks like it will break even in 2007. The invaluable lessons that I've learned in the years since finishing college have given me a much better perspective about how the real world operates and will certainly help in future entrepreneurial ventures. Holding down my day job at a multi-million dollar software company (with less than 20 employees) has also helped me learn how to manage and how to sell.<p>I will be 26 next month, and I've never felt more prepared. | null | null | 2,260 | 2,260 | null | null | null | null |

Yet, 5 months into it, I am already getting pretty restless with other ideas I want to pursue.<p>The only good thing in this episode of my "entrepreneur's ADD" is I am planning ahead. I am thinking by May I should begin work on my next idea which is in itself progress for me(rather than waking up one morning and abandoning one ship for another). <p>I simply need some experienced folks to tell me my killer idea can still be done six months down the line. The good thing about the nature of my idea is it relies more on implementation details than the concept itself. <p>Seeing the bad job the current players have been doing in the space for past two years I want to say it is unlikely they will figure out what they are doing wrong in the next six months. If only I can convince my mind of this so it can focus totally on more priority items:) How would you?<p>To be clear I am beyond the stage where I will ACTUALLY leave a venture that is going well prematurely for another.

2,471 | comment | phil | 2007-03-06T01:09:29 | null | The nice thing about google analytics is you can have it set up and working in 5 minutes. The nice thing about mint, or rolling your own, is that you can get all of the metrics you want - googalytics isn't really extensible.<p>One thing is, neither googalytics nor mint (I think? don't use it) can report on xhr requests, since they run script onload. Anybody out there have a tool they like for doing that? Like a favorite log analyzer? | null | null | 2,426 | 2,426 | null | null | null | null |

2,485 | comment | pg | 2007-03-06T01:36:00 | null | I'm considering doing this for questions (i.e. submissions with blank urls). I think it would be a bad idea for stories. | null | null | 377 | 363 | null | null | null | null |

2,491 | comment | dfranke | 2007-03-06T01:58:50 | null | It was explained to me at a Microsoft recuriting session that I attended a couple years ago that if you work for engineering at Microsoft your job title is either Designer, Programmer, or Tester. People who do one don't do either of the other two. (Although, surely there must be some niches like their research department where cirumstances are otherwise). So, since all Programmers are confined to the straight-jacket given to them by the Designers, the ability to optimize is probably the best way to differentiate the good ones from the mediocre ones.<p>Needless to say, I wasn't impressed by the recruiter's pitch. Then again, the recruiter probably wasn't impressed by the Tux polo shirt and EFF cap that I arrived wearing :-) | null | null | 2,456 | 2,367 | null | [

2,493 | comment | amichail | 2007-03-06T02:15:22 | null | Eclipse makes Java a compelling and highly productive language. Without Eclipse, perhaps Java would not have been as popular as it is today? | null | null | 2,448 | 2,448 | null | null | null | null |
2,494 | comment | amichail | 2007-03-06T02:24:58 | null | I wonder if it would make sense to make a search engine platform where (more technical) users can submit code for domain specific query entry, search, ranking, and presentation of results. Moreover, such code submissions would compete with each other, with more effective ones rising in popularity in their respective domains.<p>Unlike APIs that are currently available, the submissions made by users here would make up the core feature set of the service. <p>This is sort of like intentional programming, but applied to search:<p>http://youtube.com/watch?v=tSnnfUj1XCQ<p>http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZZDwB4-DPXE | null | null | 2,467 | 2,459 | null | null | null | null |

Google did that for their early rounds. But few startups are that hot. | null | null | 2,460 | 2,411 | null | [

2,496 | comment | goodgoblin | 2007-03-06T02:42:23 | null | Great article. I'm personally starting to burn out on programming myself. I've always shunned the cloud around programming, but I'm finding that embracing the teamwork part a little bit more is helping me to recharge a little bit. Would love to quit and go hiking though.. that sounds rreally nice<p> Also loved how when I voted it up, but I wasn't logged in, my vote registered after I logged in. I'm guessing that's a continuation? | null | null | 2,367 | 2,367 | null | null | null | null |
