QuantumGuy··on Ask HN: Is it worth open-sourcing my early stage startup?
It doesn't really matter as long as your startup is good, people really could care less. Besides with an open source startup people can help you debug. Which is exactly what the people I am working with did. https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg/wiki/Business-Model We even got a kickstarter for our open source startup http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lefnire/habitrpg-mobile So no it is not a bad idea to open source your startup just be careful.

QuantumGuy··on How I learnt to code in one year
First and foremost I have used both products and enjoyed them both. To be honest Team Treehouse is great it really is but yes it does feel like you could pass the quizzes without really knowing anything. That being said their content was excellent but I wish they had more advanced topics. Soon enough though they are going to start getting into command line and the advanced parts of CSS(see here http://teamtreehouse.com/roadmap). Codeacademy on the other hand made it impossible to move forward without really knowing the material. Problem with Codeacademy though was it's lack of material. It only covers a few things at the current time relative to Team Treehouse.
QuantumGuy··on How would you teach a middle / high schooler how to code?
Codeacademy.com it is free and contains lessons on html,css,javascript,ruby,python,jquery, and apis. Plus if he really gets into it you can always sign him up for codeschool or team treehouse later.
QuantumGuy··on Ubuntu's bug #1
It is recursive but currently that is my #1 problem with it. I know I am not alone in that either. Back then yeah Ubuntu was awesome but if this keeps up then even less people will adopt it. Canonical needs to get it together.
QuantumGuy··on Ubuntu's bug #1
No Ubuntu's #1 bug right now is it is incredibly buggy. I kidd you not every five minutes I get a system error. I am running a machine from last year and everything. It has become a horrible OS and it sold out.
