LiveBlogging from BCH5 - 3
Hardcore way to do your startup - Nanda - www.atuitu.com.
About AtuItu: Social Network for telugu folks. Built on Ruby on Rails.
- Describe your product/startup in one single line
- Breakup your work into very small parts - modules - task for the days - not codes
- Every problem is a challenge - every achieved challenge gives a sense of achievement
- Do mistakes. Don’t worry about them.
- Be in the market and keep changing it based on the feedback.
- Focus on getting your product out. Let the users give you the response and feedback.
- Only dependent on yourself.
- Distractions - money to sustain, depressions. Be very guarded from any distraction.
- All about persistence.

- Huge debate on Rails vs PHP vs Ruby vs Django
- It quickly moved onto saying PHP is a language and Rails is a framework, blah blah. But then finally it boiled down to whoever already knew the language/framework and whoever was comfortable with the other.
