If you have 50 developers and you can't "manage the tooling for off of this internally" you've got WAY bigger issues.... SMH

Perhaps but I don't think the author is the one that submitted it.

Neat take on the game but if you get a low numbered piece stuck on the bottom row and then covered with higher number pieces it's impossible to use it.

Thanks for the comparison.

nalidixic | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Strategies to get free adwords coupon?

I've had Google give them to me if I sign up for Adwords for a new project but end up not using it for a few weeks.

They usually give me a code for $100 dollars free.

Ditto. I'm in Calgary and there is no way you can live off 1k a month here unless your payment free and even then it would be tight as hell on 1k.

Hopefully never. I can't stand finger prints all over my screen.

Personally I think you should both focus on marketing.

What you think may be awesome features could turn out to simply just be waste. Market and get your initial users to tell you what else they need.

I also write on the Microsoft stack full time at work.

About a year ago I started working with Ruby on Rails for all my side work and hobby projects. It really is an awesome mind shift from .NET.

So I guess my vote would be take a look at Ruby on Rails!

I'm confused on the benefits? How does it connect me with people? Is it just a giant chat room?

nalidixic | 13 years ago | on: Gimp Layers For Developers

Again great suggestions. I didn't really know where to start so I threw something simple together to get some feedback. Thank you!

nalidixic | 13 years ago | on: Gimp Layers For Developers

That's a good idea.

nalidixic | 13 years ago | on: Gimp Layers For Developers

I'm going to start writing tutorials on Gimp. I'm not sure at what level to start so I'm throwing this out there. Feedback or suggestions is appreciated!

nalidixic | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do I generate leads?

I think it's awesome your reaching out for help. I think the problem your going to run into is the same problem I've run into many times before.

Your basically starting in the wrong place. Rather than coming up with an idea and trying to find market fit and leads you really ought to be finding your market and learning how to help them. If you take that approach not only will you know how to reach your market but you'll also know more about how to sell and talk to them.

A few questions to consider

1) Do real estate agents buy software?

2) Does the pain point your working on make them more money or drastically decrease pain?

3) How do you plan on reaching your market?

I'm not saying I'm an expert on this by any means but I'm learning as I go and have come to the point where I won't bullshit myself any longer on useless ideas.

Cheers!
