Thanks for the response, Lynne! Yeah, I read that you had to meet/talk/collaborate with different people and networking was really important part of your project. But what excited me was that how you turned the idea you love into the web-service, how you stayed motivated (even though as you said you don't have a co-founder), how you managed networking - these are wonderful examples to be inspired by (at least for me)!

It's also really inspiring to see that the author managed to get it done working mostly alone as I understood. For me it was always the problem - if I can't get someone on board with me for some project, it stops me even if I would really love to work on it.

This is an interesting topic! All advises in the article are really good ones! And I would add couple of points more (from personal experience): use services like Coursera (there will be tests, homework, forums, you may get a chance to work on real problems and solve them); keep connections with your teachers from University and schools - ask them about their projects and life sometimes, try to meet them from time to time, offer them your help.

I'm interested in projects related to science (Chemical Engineering, Bioinformatics), web-development, in projects aiming at making life a bit better or discovering something new. I'm passionate about programming and open to learning new technologies and working really hard.

Azer's first response was polite enough: "Sorry, I’m building an open source project with that name."

Pretty rude conversation has been started by Kik's guy Bob, when he answered back to previous message using such sentences as:

> We don’t mean to be a dick about it ...

> ... our trademark lawyers are going to be banging on your door and taking down your accounts and stuff like that

All Azer's responses afterwards are totally acceptable and understandable. He is not one who started talking in that way.

Looks like citizens of free world experienced PRISM program http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)

So, apparently does not matter how many web-services would be secured by HTTPS, there's no problem to spy, and there's always the way to make owners (even if it's Google) let governments use their data - does not matter whether it's encrypted or not. Moreover, in Russia this list is available for everyone, but PRISM has been revealed to public only by Snowden.
