Not bad for a PHP in one file guy, huh?

Oh and this article could have been written 15 years ago.

If you are facing minimum of £27k tuition debt in England which AFAIK gathers interest from day one I would probably skip it. And it's even worse in the US.

As far as webdev goes, you could do a bootcamp and be earning money within 6 months to a year. That's money that's hopefully going into your pension fund and earning interest while your peers are still in class.

Or you could learn to code using cheap and/or free resources. College isn't the only place to learn things nowadays and I think a lot of people haven't caught up with that yet.

I used to think nothing could beat the college experience for bonding but I think the formula of lots of people doing the same thing every day in a niche environment they want to be in is easily repeatable. I'm still in contact with digital nomads I hung out with in Bansko two years ago and I was only there for a month. But it was an intense month of seeing each other every day, just like college.

Oh and don't worry about not finding a dev job if you don't go to college. Employers are coming around slowly and there are lots of success stories out there: www.nocsdegree.com

You'd be in good company. Honestly for lots of people especially those who want a career change and aren't 18, going back to college for four years and the debt that goes along with it doesn't make a while lot of sense.

Heck, even if you are 18 you could learn to code in a year or two and then be earning good money by the time you are 20.

I've published over 90 success stories of devs without CS degrees over at www.nocsdegree.com if you wanna take a look

I've used Simple Analytics since day one of my site. Thoroughly recommended for privacy.

Fathom Analytics is another option.

Going from $2,500 to $210,000 is pretty dope.

Awesome to see remote work level the playing field faced by people from poorer countries.

Argentina's economy has been wrecked in recent years.

I've been using Simple Analytics since day one so I can kick back and relax I guess

I think it's a good time essentially because everyone else is scrambling for jobs. There is so much competition for every position. Whereas if you are building a business you don't need anyone's permission to get going.

I made the mistake of jokingly asking people if they wanted a hey email address.

I had 12 responses in a minute.

Two DMs offering $100.

They are going to make a killing.

I'm a self taught dev.

I thought it would be cool to find how other devs like me deal with imposter syndrome so I've collected their stories and strategies.

ebooks are a great way to make a little side income. Or if you follow Pieter Level's example, you can make over 200k from one book.

You don't need proof-readers, agents or publishers. It's democratic and free.

I learned the hard way that no-one is going to plan your career for you.

It's good you are being proactive. But unfortunately lots of companies aren't clear about how to get promotions etc..is there someone in HR you can talk to? Or the founders?

I would just make sure you're at your A game if you are looking for promotion routes as well.

Nice list!

I might make the sustainability categories more prominent and have the filters closed as standard? It took a bit of scrolling to see the sustainability filters. Still, good work!

I see quite a lot of people update how their startups do on Twitter so I thought I'd collect all this info in one place.

Wow, really cool scheme! Would love to see it in Scotland.

A friend nicely lent me his bike and I've been going for rides every day during lockdown. Really got the cycling bug now and a scheme like this would be great.

Thanks a lot! Yeah, don't know why other sites don't show what you are going to learn!

Founder here - I thought the current options for finding bootcamps weren't very good!

I added a few options to filter a list of bootcamps like what stack they teach, whether you can defer payment and if there are scholarships.

- Sheet2Site: backend from google sheet - Ghost: blogging - Zapier: connecting forms and google sheets - Checkout Page: take payments without code

Haven't polygraphs been discredited as inaccurate by now?

Wow, that's mad.

It's like a company that sells bikes not letting staff cycle to work.

Yikes!

A good point. Quite a lot of people that have /open pages do also blog about what has and hasn't worked and have product roadmaps as well. They are just often not included on the /open page for whatever reason. I guess just because we are used to the template of showing revenue and maybe traffic.

Great :)

Where do you want me to share links to my interviews?

Yeah, happy to do an interview!

How can I submit?

I thought I'd put something together for people working from home.

I've been working remotely since July and honestly, the lack of social contact gets old fast.

As a Scotsman I've never heard of no-true-Scotsman.

Sahil was nice enough to answer my questions. A true hacker.

that's gonna end well...

Author here - not pushing any site in particular but house sitting is a nice bit of travel hacking.

It usually involves looking after pets.

I felt good about it as well as it doesn't have the Airbnb issue of raising rents or changing the nature of an area. I'm just minding someone's place while they are on vacation.

WIP came out long before Product Hunt started doing something similar.
