Thanks, that really means a lot. Over the last few months I've been working hard to refine it. I feel like I'm finally getting there.

Thank you! It totally was, and it continues to be. I built the beta in my free time when I came off missions on my last 12-month deployment to Afghanistan (returned April 2013). When I deployed in A…

I'm doing http://justaddcontent.com solo and self-funded. It turned into a bigger project that I anticipated, especially for my first product. I started working on it full-time in Oc…

I love using my Gmail inbox as a to-do list, but it could be a better experience. This thread inspired me to finally give it a shot to see where it goes instead of waiting for somebody else to build i…

Understandable, but also unfortunate. I saw the whole original talk and thought it was amazing. It's rare to get that kind of honesty, especially from a unique point of view. Unfortunately, ou…

I posted my thoughts on the conference in another related thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7334744 But since it's relevant, I'll post them again here. TL;D…

This was a great conference. I didn't attend (I'm male), but I watched the livestream and learned a lot from the speakers, so thanks for sharing your lessons learned. I especially liked the…

So, can we cash in on that retroactively?

I love the company, but I sold all of my stock a few weeks ago for a nice profit. I'm sure the true value will get there someday, but I'm no gambler.

That sounds undesirable. I go 6 days/wk for 30-45min. I love the benefits of working out, but it's more of a mental break for me. I listen to Mixergy, learn a thing or two, and reset myse…

I really enjoyed this article. Most of the stuff I read makes me feel guilty for obsessing over the details. I'm a single-founder, work alone, and do the design and development myself, so I end…

Here's a related article, with more opinion: http://bigthink.com/risk-reason-and-reality/the-more-intelli... When I was younger I used to actively seek out articles like thi…

It's bizarre to watch that video. I spent a year there in Helmand. I recognize Kajaki dam and the streets of Lashkar Gah. I must've driven those roads hundreds of times. One of our interp…

WordPress (PHP, JS, SQL). WordPress powers over 20% of the internet, is used by over half of the top 100 sites in the world, Fortune 500's use it, and the government uses it (i.e. http:/&#x…

So that's why everyone seems to recognize me. That makes sense though. The more closely faces represent the golden ratio, the more attractive they're judged to be. Therefore, the more simi…

In late 2008 when I was in the Marines and deployed to Iraq I was following too closely behind the vehicle in front while crossing a wadi and we hit an IED (the first of 3 that day). Nobody was killed…

Sounds cool. In the 4 years I've lived in SD, this is the first I may actually make it to.

I agree, but you'd be surprised. Trusting the wrong people to manage it for you is a great way to start. Getting a god complex and becoming involved in high cost ventures in business you don&#x…

Same here. The $25M/year is a great insurance policy to keep you from doing something stupid and blowing it all, but I'd definitely take the ~$300M or so up front after taxes.
