Thank you. This has become my one and only default homepage that I open up starting each day.

None. If you're implying if this blog is simply link-bait, it's not. I have no need for links to this personal blog, I wrote this to bring out a few good pointers about the 'hustling' mentality in a Great come up story I really admire. Just a motivational post, nothing major..

Thanks for the data, pretty interesting. I was thinking of doing one myself here in a few for Freelancify

yeah, it only popped up half the time for me when I first saw the news, so I figured I'd post a decent "rewrite" that everyone could access. cheers!

hey danneu, Unfortunately no. The logic for the cucumber tests are written out, so if another coder took a look at the .features, they'd be able to figure out what the app needs to do. But as far as the tests working if I cmd 'cucumber'; they would all fail as they aren't defined yet.

The main reason for this was, me and Josh were actually going to only do Freelancify for a week or two without testing, then scrap it and re-do it again BDD test driven.

I ended up putting so much work into it in the weeks, that starting over from scratch would be a huge time-killer. One of the next things on the to-do is to go back and make these cucumber tests work.

Josh and I are probably also going to start on another small app so I can do BDD first, then code.

Thank you for this. I will have to look into a few off that list and implement them. All the models does have attr_accessible. Using CarrierWave for uploads.

Using MacPorts to install ImageMagick was hell. But when I used HomeBrew, it was like night and day.

Good question. The wordpress blog (webstartup.me) is on a cheap server. Freelancify is hosted on Heroku.
