There is no stability anywhere. Big business fear startups. Startups may be worried of big businesses or competitors, Employees may be fired...it is just the way the world works.....

hackershelf.com is a good place to source for hacker books, most of them are free.

Really lovely UI. But was wondering why the title "Dropsend" seems not aligned with the rest of the page content.

The thought of being interrupted doesn't make me want to start hacking complex stuff. When they are all gone you can do the impossible....

A php mysql book like this may be a good start.

experiences will vary, so I'd just ask you to follow your heart on this issue.

All software couldn't possibly work perfectly for you....? So fix a problem you have or one you think you will have soon. Alternatively, go have a chat with a prof or business person or whoever and ask them what problems they would like solved.

Hi, You are in the right place on HN. I d suggest you get rid of the anxiety. As tech people we have the ability to create stuff that other 'mere mortals' find amazing and useful. You should think about that more.. not just that but find a problem and solve it. About being your own man it starts from within you and is not just something that happens to you. If you started a business you'd depend on your clients. As Ceo you are answerable to the board- they'd be hoping you dont screw things up. So it never ends.. things important to us will always be in the hands of others- also we need to give them what is important to them by solving problems. You are free first from within!! Good luck!!

IMHO, Unity is a work in progress. It definitely requires more resources to run than other environments and it requires some getting used to. I miss the good old task-bar for quick switching instead of moving the cursor to the extreme left waiting for the tab to slide in, clicking the appropriate icon which may then load an undesired window if the sought application is running more than one instance. I tried 'mousing over' the topmost left corner too.. it is also slow. However, unity is clean. It just hasn't figured out how we want to do what we want or who we are.
