Great show.. I’d like to request you guys to have a QA session with the listeners. If yes, my question would be :
1. In startups, if you think you want to hire(I heard the podcast about when to hire), what are the steps you do? I know its a personal question and varies from person to person,just curious about your styles..

Another enjoyable show.
it is true that most people who are unhappy in there current situation be it work or other will moan and bitch about their situation but still do nothing about it.
I have worked with people who literally moan from the moment they walk through the door to the minute they go home, but continue to work at the same place for over 15 years.

I also liked the idea of having 5 – 10 minutes off every hour to clear the brain and recharge for another productive50 minutes. At the end of the day I can sometimes find myself looking at the screen with very little coherence of what i am looking at. I am going to give this method a try.

I am just listening this about bit.ly .. you can get few couple of $ shared hosting with proxy script and rotate on them. Or just use open proxis like some SEO tools use for querying google and similar.

//edit.. ok you talked about something similar now.. anyways..

Great show guys! Agree with the comments about needing to build something sustainable on the side.
I jumped from the 9-5 ship a few months ago. Unfortunately not getting enough revenue from the online ventures that me and my business partner launched, so I’m planning to create a geographically localised version of odesk.com. Idea being that I think people actually want to meet with the developer they are hiring. Main reason is to find work for myself through it. 🙂 So lets see if the personal pain barrier works with this as well……

Justin is correct in that most people are too busy working at their life to work on their life.

When you talk to 9-5ers who are unhappy they sometimes talk about finding a new job or even a new career but the idea that they need to change the entire model of their working life can almost be unconceivable to them.
