Bullet Point Blog

The timing couldn’t be more interesting as I’ll be finishing up my MBA on Thursday…

Go and read this…I think its a smart piece that some of the lesser techies should read…and even the 1337 nerds…

I use the word “Developer” pretty loosely…I’m probably more of that guy who shouldn’t have access to (my favorite editor…) Notepad++. I’m not so sure we should be calling this Sage Advice either…but alas here we go:

• WRITE SOME CODE – It doesn’t matter what the code does, just write some code
• Don’t try and find the best method to do what you want…the method that works is the best method
• Make your code public (unless for some silly reason you absolutely can’t…and then share with trusted friends), someone will look at it and tell you why you’re an idiot
• It’s important to know that your an idiot and there are many people way smarter than you
• Try lots of projects…sometimes you’ll figure out the problem you want to solve, and sometimes you won’t…but if you never try you’ll never learn new things
• Pat yourself on the back and jump for joy when things work like you expected…even the simplest things are great accomplishments
• The language you use doesn’t really matter…ultimately what you’re learning is ways to solve problems, if you’re not familiar with the language you’ll understand the overall concepts and can work from there

Chatting with my friend @MrCippy the other day we  had a discussion about Hulu Plus…I think it could be so much more than what it is…but here’s the rundown…

• $7 a month for everything is a good deal IF…
• The entire content library is on demand…this means full back catalogs of all the available shows
• The shows need to be on Hulu immediately following the broadcast airing
• Hulu needs to get their expansion to platforms (Boxee, Android, iOS, etc…) done…a screen is a screen is a screen
• The biggest shocker here…THE ADS CAN STAY IN PLACE…just give me the content

Here’s what to expect if you’re going to read this…

• Bullet Points…obviously…
• My OPINIONS about the tech world and happenings…
• Hopefully somewhat regular postings…
• The occasional link from someone more authoritative/reputable about these topics
• Probably some other stuff…
