It varies greatly based on type of content. The most I have made was $20k per month on a TV show review site. We had Netflix and Hulu advertising on in through Adsense for awhile and their ads were specific to the individual TV shows we wer

Does anyone else think that this purchase is largely in part so they can get AmazonFresh in a lot more places quickly? In my area where there is a big college campus, they have been hiring for AmazonFresh devs for over a year. We have no Am

From this it appears as though a full stack developer makes about the same or just a little more than a front end or back end developer. Wonder why this is. I would expect a full stack developer to make at least 1.5x of a FE or BE being tha

It doesn't have to be a lot of money or customers. Even a small portion shows they can think about the bigger picture and ship something user/customers want to use. You are right, a programmer who can make $80k+ building their own

Something that has shipped, acquired customers and made money. Those things are more impressive to me than what framework, programming language, etc. you used.

I personally think these types of coding projects are way more effective at determining skills than whiteboard or fizzbuzz type stuff. It also opens up opportunities for you to discuss the solutions you used with the hiring manager. Now if

What I am observing is girls at least at the middle school age are a lot more focused than the boys. I think that is why they may be ahead. Does this shift some as they move into high school and college? Not sure. I guess what I am saying i

It is something I have thought about but worry could do more harm than good in the long run. Partly because that is not how things are done in the real world. I am not really sure what the answer or solution is.

This is a topic of high interest to me personally. Over the past couple of years I have been teaching middle school students how to code on and off. I am also a female who has been coding for close to 20 years now. In the classes I teach, t

Agree with this. I teach middle school students how to code simple JavaScript games and they all do fine with text based coding in an editor. I have a few 5th graders in the class too and they also do fine. By this age, they no longer want

So just an FYI for those here who sign up or if anyone from Amazon reads this. The phone number field gives you a "this field is required" error if you type dashes or any other non numeric characters in the field. Remove all non n

I can see this doing well for paid online training programs such as Treehouse and similar. Especially if Amazon does give you exposure and you end up being featured. I don't see why you can't utilize this for the exposure in addit

Bingo!! In my particular location, companies try and hire devs for $25/hr but the average starter home is $500k. Then they wonder why all of the talent leaves.

Both SaaS apps. Different markets but one of mine is similar in complexity to theirs. They could have launched a year ago if they were not wasting time re-writing the app in Angular 2 & 4 and spending time open sourcing Angular librarie

Doesn't really give you an advantage if you don't have customers. Even after you have customers, oftentimes the old/boring technology actually results in a faster, better app.

This is excellent advice. There is a local company near me that has been working on their SaaS for almost 2 years now and still yet to launch. They started it on Angular 1 and are now re-factoring it on Angular 2 (or maybe 4 now). During th

I run some coding workshops for 6th to 8th graders and would be interested in using scrimba for some of the lessons. Are you currently opening this up to beta testers that can implement it in a real world scenario?
