@ScottWilson but then he wouldn't have been able to slip in the shameless plug to his website would he? :)

comment Should I apply for a job with a future competitor to get some inside knowledge?
Yes I agree ten years is a long time. It's something I can be lean about and strip away, which is what I'm doing. Early on I didn't quite have the skills to get the project built how it should have, and no funds to pay someone then a load of personal crap got in the way that just plain made it impossible to get it off the ground (financially and health wise). I'm in a much better place now and I'm going for it. As I mentioned I read the lean start up (and mainly 37 Signals' books) and decided I was adding too much too soon. I've stripped it all way back to get it out the door.

comment How to Resolve a classic Chicken and Egg Dilemma?
Personally, I'd say make it free for I.T. pros to sign up, which it probably will be, then hit the phone to recruitment agencies who'll have a bunch of jobs. Building relationships with those guys will help. If you're passionate enough and creating job listings is easy enough they might take the time to add some listings on. Failing that, make it easy for them, tell them to email/fax you each job posting and you'll add it in for them. That'll build up your job board. But I agree, you've made it hard on yourself. You need to go hard on where you can get the most jobs in one big sweep.

comment Minimum age I can pay (hire) my kids?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you are asking how old can the kids be to legitimately give them a wage to squeeze money away from taxable earnings for yourself, not necessarily how moral is it to allow kids to work. Seems the last two answers were more based on a moral ground. But correct me if I'm wrong.
