Thanks, Before starting something like learning new language or starting new project which is not related to my job I think how it will benefit me and I delay the things and never start it. Can you think same way or can you advice me.

I'm probably not a good person to ask on this.

I must confess, I rarely do anything professionally that I don't want to do anyway. In other words, I don't have to "make" myself do something - I do it 'cause I want to. I'm super curious.

That said, I need to learn Javascript for a side project. I don't find learning a JS very interesting in itself but combine it with something that do find interesting (3D graphics, Three.js) and it becomes fun. Sort of like spending time in France and learning French "accidentally".

Great for first point I also need to work. BTW want to read your article if you write post it here.

I think somehow Facebook wants to kill the competition , do not want to let innovate the world and want to rule on the internet. There is whole startups group which want to innovate and evolve but due to shitty ideas of Facebook and other operators this will change the whole game only because or their selfishness.

I think Mozilla is one of great organization and community. I love them as open source community. They are very polite and always helps and welcome to new bies. I really like the attitude of all the Mozillian. I think Open source world needed more polite and helpful people like Mozillians.

Thanks!! I want to learn and grow my skill set that is my prime motivation. But I feel little bit uninterested if work I am doing is already available. What is your motivation if you are starting a new project or something?

Thanks a lot really great advice. One thing more do you check or conscious about grammar while listening or reading others while learning language?

Thanks but you know some times you can not show yourself in 1 hour or less.

I agree with you but some companies did not give value to your technical talent and they need communication skills. I have seen the interviewers saying we need communication skills also and some candidate reject basis on that.

Thanks, I thought many HNers may have this problem and I am developer so I thought they can help and provide some good tips. What is Volley. I searched google not got any helpful result.

Can you please explain what does this mean?

The tale is about different perceptions of reality and self-fulfilling prophecies. Both consultants were skilled and helped their companies grow, but none saw the possibilities in both planets because they were subject to framing[1].

The OP wrote:

> Now someone else open sourced my Idea and It is one of trending repositories on github.

The OP sees this is a failure because this is his perception of reality. However, there are other signals at play that the OP did not capture. The fact that someone else brought forward the same idea at around the same time automatically tells me the following things:

1. There is a growing interest about this idea

2. It’s not irrelevant, crazy or stupid. Might be a solid idea.

3. There might even be an emerging market

4. The timing for this idea must be right (That’s why different people are coming up with this idea)

5. The OP is smart.

So whatever the OP’s idea is, must be good and worth pursuing. The OP thinks like ‘Mike’, but ‘Joe’ made it rain too. There are countless example for products that came ‘after’ and took over the market (e.g. Apple and Microsoft, iOs and Android, etc).

I guess OP will explain it better, but my take from it is that its better to have a small share of a huge market (which is still a large potential payout) than to be a big fish in a small market or a market dominated by one major player (small/non-existent returns).

I really appreciate your work and this app is really cool and great. I am really inspired with your work. Thanks a lot for answering. I just curious are you app(iOS) developer or what's your full time job(Just want to know). What is your monthly revenue of this(Nothing special just want to know if you can earn some money from an app). BTW thanks a lot for posting this. It really inspired me lot and very cool app. I may buy this.

Thanks for the kind words!

I wouldn't call my self a "real" app developer just yet as I'm still learning app development (i.e. still don't know how to sync core data with iCloud). I used to focus mostly on web, but recently started iOS. I'm not working yet, I'm still in University studying CS.

I usually don't like to discuss the exact amount I'm making from my app, however I would say I'm "ramen profitable" for a student.
