I don't know man. No one got this upset with the Potato Salad kickstarter.

From a design standpoint, great job on the site! I love all the little interactions and attention to detail. I also like the overall scope of the service and will use it personally. Awesome job and good luck in your future!

Yes! I too would love to know how it works under the hood!

> "When I got into the web development business there were no college degrees for it, just CS at the time."

What specific field of study is this referring to?

You make some interesting points and I appreciate that you weigh out different aspects. The things that you mention are very inspiring to me. Everything that you've accomplished makes me want to work harder than ever. Is there a way I could reach out to you privately to ask you some questions if you don't mind?

> "On a similar front, C.S. programs don't do a great job of teaching what industry really feels like - if I had known, I might not have gone into C.S."

Just curious, what would you have majored in to know what the industry is like?

Thanks for sharing your great advice! I truly appreciate it. I'm currently in an intern position with a software company. Working here opened this whole topic for me.

I was contemplating whether or not I was making the right choices for my education. Sure, everyone's different when it comes to learning and choosing their paths. I just want to make sure I won't regret my decisions. Again, that being said, there are pros and cons for these types of situations, but that's besides the point.

I originally plan on majoring in the businesses field, while minoring in something to do with computers(CS, Eng, etc.) Ultimately, I want to create tools for people to use, make them pleasant to look at, all while contributing to something I could be proud of. Luckily, I have a little bit of time ahead of me to really think about my options to send me into my future.

I agree. What you've said can be applied to anything.

I've been hearing hints of this for some time now. Doing the hard things in life can open new doors as an individual, or steer you into the right direction for something else.

Thanks for your input. Adding to what you've said, I've read and heard on some occasions (from professionals in my sector) that taking some CS classes as electives was beneficial and wasn't too overwhelming.

Linode has always been the go-to for my small and large scale projects.

All this time that's what I've been thinking too.

If you got by not doing any or most of your homework, then it wasn't worth that much points wise I would assume, right? Unlike you, I happen to be obligated to go through numerous iterations of problems and sets just so I can satisfy the 25% homework portion of the total course grade.
