I thought this was an awesome article. I saved up money and quit my job last year to move from NY to SF. It never panned out, so I wound up being jobless for 9 months until I found something new. I still want to move out there and this just reinforces it. I'll get out there sooner or later.

Lots of good news for us NY folks today.

Sounds awesome dude. Wish I could say the same things about my job. Enjoy it.

Thanks! There's a ton of great companies out there, just keep looking (or start your own) I just got really luck and landed this gig!

Glad to hear more tech is coming to NY. Now I may not have to move to the Bay Area after all. :)

I think Apple did something similar where schools can sign up students as iOS developers too. I think the idea is great, I would have loved if something similar was available when I was in High School and starting College.

I feel the same way. I am far too often starting a new project, or coming up with new random ideas. I put things aside and have to work hard at finishing them. I think starting is the easiest part, and finishing is the skill that needs to be preached.
