i remember jason fried was having a conversation here on HN about why early investors decided to sell some part of their shares at the time of ipo , trying to say it was a normal thing to do

havent noticed any posts or comments from him in this thread though , kind of tells it ...

is he still hanging in here

dont you think php would have been easier to learn than django or ruby for getting a site working ?

As I understand from the article, he didn't want to just get a site working but to learn how to program and picked, in my opinion, a good language to get started in.

Learning django was, I assume from reading the article, a way to build fun projects with the knowledge of python he had acquired.

Learn a language then how to make web pages with it is a better way to go in my view.

look for example what Wikileaks says about the Rothschilds banking family, informing us that the family is trillionaires , while referring to totally credible sources.

While The Independent describes "an even older tradition - the ability of the family to sustain their secretive fortune, which industry insiders count not in billions but in trillions, and keep it within the family. Secrecy has been a hallmark of the Rothschilds from the outset."[56]
