I mostly do Erlang and CoffeeScript these days and am the author of "Building Web Applications in Erlang" and "Programming HTML5 Applications" Both of which were published by O'Reilly.

I am also very interested in the question, How do I become a great developer and spend a fair bit of time thinking about it.

I am also a compulsive writer. I love writing as it forces me to really think about what is important and how to make ideas seem more concreate

May 22	comment	Is it legal to pay employees or contractors in bitcoin (artificial e-currency)? I think a good analogy would be paying someone in a foreign currency. If I am living in Israel but getting paid in say UK Pounds I still need to pay my taxes on that income. (And I would expect that it might make some interesting paperwork headaches for my accountant)
May 20	comment	How to work internationally in a country which is under sanction? Moving to another country may not be an option, you need to get visas and such to do that in general.
Mar 16	comment	Debt financing for seed funding? Then why not live on beans and rice for 6 months and stockpile the cash? That way you don't have to have the loan in the first place and can avoid a HUGE risk. Plus you can write code in that time after work (cause you are not going to be going out anyway right)
Mar 16	comment	Debt financing for seed funding? Just be careful, do not borrow 100K on your house. As if you do and the thing goes south you will loose your house, and if you are married probably your marriage as well. That is WAY too big a downside for my taste

Mar 13	comment	Debt financing for seed funding? What @tim said. you never want to be in a position where if things don't work you will be bankrupt. Oh and never take out a loan on your house! You need the question what happens if this goes big, but you also need to ask the question what happens if this goes sideways. The last thing you want is to be paying off a company 10 years after it closed
Mar 9	comment	Paying self on start-up business If you put the money in you probably won't but if you have money coming in then you should, so you can you know eat.
Feb 19	comment	How do I handle large payments (over $15,000)? Have them send you a check, just fed ex it. Your UK bank should be able to deal with it (clearly ask them first) they will probably charge you a few dollars but not a huge amount. I have deposited US checks in my Israeli bank account with no problem.

Feb 22	comment	What are the benefits of having a business bank account as a solo entrepreneur? it depends a lot on what country you are in. But there is no problem as far as I know in the USA doing business like that, as long as you pay your taxes.
