Building a Successful Startup
David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of the Ruby on Rails web development framework, gives an interesting talk about how to create a realistic startup through his experiences at 37 Signals and other projects. This was filmed during Startup School 2008. His main point is that not everyone should set their startup’s goal as becoming a billion dollar company, in fact, most people can enjoy their life more and be successful by creating a million dollar company with a couple thousand dedicated users. He also gives great advice about to how to be a more efficient software developer.
Blog++
Welcome all to the new, updated version of my blog! I decided to move from my own blogging engine in Ruby on Rails to WordPress simply because I never had enough time to add additional features that I wanted to.
My current plan is to post more often, but have less detail in each post. This will hopefully keep things from becoming stagnant as the have been, and allow me to post at least once per day.
