Network connectivity is one very big problem. What good is a blazing fast server with 2Mbps (disruptive!) link? This is the very reason a lot of people would hate their own servers. Cloud = connectivity + (computing power)
Yay! for connectivity.
Looks nice. But, how about not executing any JS content that is injected by plugins or theme other than what is required(like jQuery etc.)? I am talking about the "Tweet" link. Is that possible?
"Guys are fascinated and scared by girls who roll up their sleeves and take on a job that society labels as “men’s work”"
I always opined that, "women have a lot of emotional strength". You can just imagine how difficult it is to take care of, and raise a toddler. It is so hard. But, somehow women are naturally good at this, and I am just as fascinated by this fact.
I think any beginner would love to have a [cross platform] offline browse-able reference/tutorial/guide whatever, be it MDN or W3Schools. Going to google for every damn thing is just a waste of time. And, for people with little stacks, it usually deviates them making them forget what they were trying to do in the first place. I am talking about something like php.net's offline 'chm' file. But, for html, javascript and css. Does anything exist already?
Why take all the pain of creating/editing screenshots, explaining through an article? You could have made a video instead. I personally prefer videos to articles when it comes to learning something -new-.
I have a win 8 professional license from DreamSpark(my university had to apply for this). The license I got was valid for 2 years, and I graduate in 6 months. So, it's not really hard like you say.
And here I am, still desperately waiting for the perfect speech to text converter that just removes need of having to type text entirely. I can see a future where programs are narrated.
Just the other day I was looking for ways to offer email@mydomain to people who request it. I found that GApps was no longer offering free email. So, I ended up using Forwarders in cPanel to do the thing for me.
Forwarders in cPanel simply copy all incoming mail to email@mydomain to myother@email. If I didn't already create an email account email@mydomain, the incoming mail WILL NOT be stored on server which makes this a feasible solution. If I had, incoming mail would be copied to myother@email.
> find somebody knowledgeable in the field or industry,
This, or actually get yourself into the field, work for some time.
In a lecture(startupschool), Jessica Livingston(Partner, YC) talked about a guy who made app that allows users to order food from their phone. She said that he was an example of 'a good founder' because he actually joined a restaurant as a waiter just to learn how things worked.
Take away? (Get your self involved in, know widely about, find spots which you should do better) in the field you want to start your company in[Joel Spolsky also said something of this sort in his lecture!]
We're thrilled that you've come all the way here to buy our products! Thank you!
However, we did not expect the load on our servers would be this high. We are working hard right now to fix the problem.
Please be patient and come back in a couple of hours.
There's still time...

I thought this was the reason apps existed: to cut down loading time. I hate it so much when someone, in their app embeds a browser and load their site.
I think there is no point in regretting. Regret can only lead to more regret in future if you don't concentrate more on the present.
“Whatever happened, happened for the good; whatever is happening, is happening for the good; whatever will happen, will also happen for the good only. You need not have any regrets for the past. You need not worry for the future.”
I remember awhile back here on hn, a guy did an experiment: hire somebody on craigslist to watch him while he works. That's all. It turned out to be pretty productive.
It's even more awesome if you can get someone who understands your work.

So find & _pair_ with a programmer you are compatible with.
Do other fun things as well.. like say, play prince or blood or lion king. Growing up playing these games along with mspaint and pinball, formatting c drive couple if times made up my childhood.
And due to having a computer early in my life, I turned out to be more technically "aware" than most of my peers.
Now the important thing for me was having that curiosity. Leave them curious for more. :)
It seems there is a bug when I enter this line:
