Proposition HN 2.0: I will pay you $2000 and code the MVP for your side-project
5 by esquire_900 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Premise 1: Investors/Incubators over-estimate their ability to pick good ideas/startups. Premise 2: Software by a lone developer is not pragmatically different from software by a big A-team. It’s the market fit and marketing / sales that makes or breaks the project. Premise 3: Most freelancers will not build and/or follow-through with their ideas, because they are not sure it will sell. Premise 4: HackerNews has a decent number of people who know how the world works, and how a little glue would make it better. Based on these premises I present The Proposition 2.0 (following version 1.0 [1]): I’ll pay you $500 for your “real-life problem that needs a software fix” idea and market validation / research. I will build the MVP and give you another $1500 to bring us our first paying customer(s). We split the resulting product 80-20 as co-founders. [1] https://ift.tt/2HR9hbV [2] https://ift.tt/2WBFcAM

Say you're learning something that is totally new to you and totally out of your comfort zone (Something like learning Chinese when the only language you can speak is English and you're a westerner, learning archery when you have been a couch potato for years etc). What would be your learning methods? Do you have any tips/hacks etc that works for you? Lets assume you are learning on your own, from books/videos etc, and not learning from a teacher

Ask HN: How to work with a developer who avoids reading?
2 by scandox | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Someone recently joined our team as a junior dev. Their work is good, but I noticed that when they're learning something new they generally watch a video. Often it seems to me to find out how to do something that is effectively a couple of lines of code. I asked them about it and they said they remember things better when they visually see the effect it has. Also there are times when I ask a specific question like "What does such and such a library function return?" and they'll say "two strings" but don't know if it's a list or a tuple, of if it ever returns None, or whether it raises an Error etc. So at that point I'll open up the library documentation and read it with them. But they will never on their own initiative open the docs. They do read SO and tutorials. I'm struggling a bit to collaborate with them because I have a strong bias towards reading (docs or books) to understand and they seem to have the exact opposite. They seem almost sad when I send them a link to raw information.
