I've worked at multiple Internet startups of different shapes, sizes and ambitions. Now I'm the CTO (Chief Technical Officer) of another small company with big dreams. I look nothing like the picture above.

If you copy and paste your homework question in here, I will answer with something that will, at best, get you an F on your project, and at worst, will get you kicked out of school. You have been warned.

Let's say I want to write code that does this: an input into the Google Search field causes the text to fly over the earth, via Google Earth, to the location of the top search result. What size programming team is needed? Or just sell idea to Google?

Asked by Bry over 9 years ago

You can't sell the idea to Google.

To implement it takes just one programmer--if they're the right one.

I have to make a Isometric game fantasy themed game, since I only have a lil delphi knowledge what language should I use to make it.
something easy and intuitive please. And yes, i know this is oppinion based, that's what I want, oppinions

Asked by Miguel Silva about 10 years ago

You can write a game in Delphi perfectly well. (I think. I don't actually know Delphi, but last I heard it's a general-purpose language).

Except in a few specialized applications, "What language should I use to write X?" is not the right question to be asking.

How do I send my visual basic project to a friend via an email attachment?

Asked by Nick over 9 years ago

I don't know exactly how Visual Basic encourages you to organize projects, but if everything is under one directory, there are programs built specifically to take a directory tree and pack it neatly into one file so that you can easily send around that one file. I hear that 7Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) is pretty good.

What does "error: expected expression before ‘int’ "
in "c = int gah(d);" mean?
int gah(d)is a function I wrote outside of int main() and I'm trying to assign its value to c. How do I fix it?

Asked by madnecessity about 10 years ago

I'm assuming this is C, which is what it looks like, anyway. Try leaving out that "int" so that the line reads:

c = gah(d);

You need the type when you're declaring or defining a function, but not when you're actually using it.

This is programming in here, tech support is down the hall, third door on the right.

is it possible (or advisable) to start an internet company when i can't write a single line of code? i have lots of ideas but talk is cheap and i am no jack ma. (who till today can't code)

Asked by kelvinC about 10 years ago

Well, you have to have SOMETHING besides an idea to bring to the table: ideas are cheap. I used to set myself an "idea quota" each day, where I'd require myself to think up and write down ten ideas for a project every day. That's a lot of work at first but after a week or two they come very easily.

If you know, for example, how to run a small business, or how to sell things to people, or even how to MANAGE a technical project (which is a very different skill than working on one as a developer), that would be good.
