alexlumley··on First Rails app complete. Where to Next?
Hey man,

Really like your app and seems like it makes sense- I would definitely use it. If you really want to get good, why don't you try writing the website again? Yes that might take a long time, but by giving yourself another feedback loop you will learn how to do things faster and even correct your mistakes.

Best of luck.

Alex

alexlumley··on Fire Me, I Beg You
Very scary to think of how long you can go in life doing something that you don't want to do, if you never think about what you secretly wished happend. SHIVERS.

This is a great summary. Thanks for sharing.
alexlumley··on Ask HN: How to train your brain to recognize opportunities for innovation?
I wish there was a way to work with other people to think and talk through big ideas. Talking with other people seems to be the best way to actually find big problems to solve as you never know where your conversations might take you.
alexlumley··on The House Y Combinator Should Have Built
As a guy who lives in a house with 5 Bain consultants (not hackers I know, I know, but smart, driven people) I can tell you that living in a house with other people you work with is absolutely awesome. Surrounding yourself with driven, talented people really helps creating new ideas, meeting new interesting people and in general creating an awesome environment. While I would love to have a "Hacker House" my MVP of having a consulting house is working out wonderfully and I highly recommend you try it.
