Re: Learning to Code ? Know your choices [Codelearn v/s Treehouse]

Hi Charles, Each one writes a review from ones own perspective; from ones own experience. If you know Treehouse is not passive, it is great! You can elaborate your reasons as a comment. I don't see why should get offended at all. Rather, I would say, this presents you with an opportunity to talk about a service you like!

Btw, the link you posted about your balanced review of Treehouse doesn't work.

Hi Charles, Nithya here - the author of the post. If you read through the entire post, you would understand that I am not saying any one service is better than the other. As beginners we are all just a little too eager to get a taste of building an app and Codelearn offers that without putting the learners through the harrowing set up experience. That's all. To that extent, I would do my initial videos with Treehouse and then jump to Codelearn to get a taste of that and jump back to treehouse for more videos on setting up the environment and actually building and hosting it.

I'm curious. Did you have the same trouble with FreshBooks?

Not bad! They can use their time to contribute to open source :)

@Rajkumar Radhakrishnan Just managed to read your post. You are right!

@Gabe da Silveira Totally on your side. I hate getting bitten by bad pricing schemes too!

@Amit That 'Hello and Welcome to beautiful' is the default in the Wordpress theme I am using:) I wanted to remove it but couldn't figure out very easily.

I am sure I am a little too dark for most people. But your comment made me smile:)

@Rahul I don't think I understand! You mean Japanese know better. I doubt that. They even have a term for deaths caused by over working - karoshi I guess

@ Vince All the best with the de-addiction!

Your Linked-in profile link? Too many Shaji Vijayans show up if I do a name search!

Hi Knownsense,

I am not sure how exactly I landed on your blog. But, it would be nice if you can include an 'About me' page. I have no clue who I am interacting with and I am bound to not have any memory of you or your well written post in some days. It never hurts to add a face to your blog or your pic to your Gravtar profile.

Your point of addressing 'Buyer's remorse' is valid. But Linkedin's premium account isn't of much use unless you are a professional head-hunter!

Re: Product design: Go beyond the normal.

nithya — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 02:54:17 -0000

Are you sure Linked-in's premium account is half-assed? I know a lot of recruiters who see a ton of value in it.

@ Meera Neither did I. I don't understand why somebody has to be geeky to climb the corporate ladder!

@PLR I am not claiming all of our problems are self-invented. My post says 'most'.

Hi Amit, Is there anything from your experience that makes you agree with what I am saying. Do you see such tendencies in women around you? Just curious...

@Ben Atkin Not convincing! We take these coffee wars seriously :)

I guess I had missed your comment. Yeah, I too fail to understand the general air of animosity that exists in our society!

Am I hamming it up a bit when I say 'soul crushing'? Probably yes. But let me say, it is soul crushing nevertheless:)

I am quoting your last para here:

'One way to reconcile this conflict is to insulate oneself from the outer reality - as Nithya has done. Another way is to work with the reality to make it better fit ones own constructs. And yet another way is to learn to live with the difference. I do not know, which, if any, is universally better.'

This is where I have a problem. I have a mish mash of emotions in this regard. I have insulated myself, but I feel guilty about the choice to some extent. I am not able to reconcile myself to the ugly reality. I feel too powerless to change anything.

I just read @Sridhar Vembu's comment. I sincerely appreciate him for having the courage to attempt, atleast his bit, to change things. All my best wishes for him. I will probably follow suit someday!
