Impressive. Being open about the journey and giving ideas and hope to others
is very commendable.

Also $100,000 a month from a company that couldn't scale like a software
company is really cool. I think more Hacker news people should worry a bit
less about'scaling' and getting a good product going first and foremost.

Thanks man, really appreciate it. It's been a fun ride! You're absolutely
right. I think, "will it scale" is often a fairly silly question when you
think about it. Not every company has to become a billion dollar company to be
successful. And while scaling geographically is great, one can create a model
that goes deep instead of going wide, and for a local business this could mean
totally dominating a city with multiple verticals. Either way, "will it scale"
shouldn't be the question. "Will it sell?" is more important, especially for a
boot-strapped company.

 

Ask HN: How do you learn a new language or library? - eric-hu

I've been reading through the Backbone.js source code this week.  While it's been a good exercise for my javascript-fu, it does feel pretty dull at times.  I'm forcing myself to power through all of it because I know that I can't really form ideas with tools I'm unfamiliar with.<p>So, out of curiosity, how do you learn a new language or library?  What's been most effective?  Has that changed over time?
