So it’s been 6 months since I first started programming. I now know c, c++, java, mysql, php, ruby on rails, xml, a little python and some server side management crap. I can learn a new programming language in less than three days and I feel like I can make a small web company in like a week. Yet I still see so many people missing programmers. People who need programming interns and such. Is the barrier to entry really that high? Or do people just want the easy way out by delegating some poor intern for every bug fix. That must be the shittiest job ever by the way. It is so much harder to look at someone else’s code and try to fix it than to create one yourself. Those interns should be paid more than lead developers in my opinion.

I think someone should build a step by step programming site. This’ll be one of my future side projects if no one explores it. Coming up spring break hopefully. Along with Jess’s and my new project. Life’s a lot more exciting once I got into college.

What brought me into the world of entrepreneurship was one of those adolescent phases we all go through. What’s my purpose in life, what’s my future. No matter how I thought about it all I was left with was death or some miracle longevity medicine from stem cells (south park). So pretty much, make the best out of your life. Write a list of stuff to do before you die or something. Just don’t be stuck in your 80s without a single significant thing to tell your grandchildren other than you won a local halo tournament or something.

A great way to do something awesome is through entrepreneurship! A great way to start your first project is to make a goal, tell everyone about your goal, and then maybe accomplish your goal with the pressure of everyone knowing about it. Finding cool equally bored people to work with is even better. You get to keep each other motivated it really helps to have a cofounder.

Even the smallest projects could start off a entrepreneur roller-coaster. Just do something small and fun like a prank or funny movie and video tape it. Then somehow incorporate an ad like “drink Pepsi” or something. Let’s say that the video turned out well. If I were an advertising agency I’d love to have you work on a mini-project. I wouldn’t care less if you bombed your last math final.
