slinger | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Best business advice for software developers

> It's a skill that can be learned like every other skill. You can take the "in 21 days" route or the MOOC / University course route

Sorry, what did you mean by "in 21 days route"? Also, do you have any MOOC on doing business to recommend?

"It suggests that the quest for knowledge includes failure, and that just because one person may know less than others they should not be afraid to ask rather than pretend they already know. In many cases multiple people may not know but are too afraid to ask the "stupid question"; the one who asks the question may in fact be doing a service to those around them" [0]

slinger | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: An idea that you could not implement?

I don't think these ideas would take over communities neither the world, but they are awesome:

1) Some kind of crawler that goes through YouTube videos indexing them and its subtitles and then when a user searches a word or idiom the web app would show some part of a video that speaks exactly that search term. I know there are other services that does that, but I want something more natural since these services use some kind of text to speech with a robotic voice and not a real life situation.

2) An old school open world MMORPG with modern graphics and a mix of Ultima Online (PVP) and Diablo III (Dungeons) gameplay. Nowadays every mmorpg is a copy of World of Warcraft with a different story. There is no innovation...

EDIT: add another idea :)

Thank you for answering. As I suspected, a good network is a real deal. Making a good network is too difficult outside a tech hub as SV. Fortunately, we have HN and other online communities.
