We meant to post a Show HN. We'll work on the usability. We built this out of a startup weekend. Not exactly a startup yet, but we had a lot of fun. Thanks for the feedback.

It's great seeing all of these commands and shortcuts, and seeing that you know a lot of them. These never cease to be useful.

Even though it seems simple to someone who knows Linux, you can always impress marketing/business people by flying through Linux with these helpful commands, shortcuts, and tips.

You're right. Call it in the air. Be sure to have a coin that's tails on both sides. It's the only way to go.

I've never looked into Mechanical Turk either. Sounds like something that could be helpful.

I wonder what a good budget would be for using it successfully.

I love the advice as well. I have some projects I've done that I've never bothered to put on Github. I'm making an effort to get them up there although some of the projects aren't refined.

For example, I have a project I did in 6 hours, so I know it's not the best code I could write. However, I think it's great to share what you've got. As Seth Godin would say, ship it.

To me, it's definitely worth it for people trying to pickup a new skill like programming.

I hope they pitch this to schools, particularly middle school and high school. Something like this could potentially handle the curriculum for a programming course. It would be a lot less expensive than paying someone full time to teach a course.

We need more of this.

I like the article. I learned to tinker with computers in much the same way. Not that I'm proud of it, but I remember finding programs for AOL that would fade your text into different colors. I was so interested in how these types of things were done that I tried Visual Basic and bought Borland C++ when I was about eleven or twelve years old.

Did you reverse engineer your entities from a database? If not, you should add that as well. That way, if the database changes, you can automate the creation of those entities. I like to follow "don't repeat yourself."
