I don't think every homeschooler falls within these 2 camps. It really isn't that black and white. The stereotypes try to make it out that way though.

This is the first year we are homeschooling my 13 yr old son. He is actually in a hybrid Charter program so goes to class 2 days and homeschools 3 days. We have already seen such a huge difference. We were able to bump him up 2 math levels,

Nothing wrong with charging. There are more affordable alternatives though.

"Why even offer a service like this if you cannot GUARANTEE that the $5 they say they charge is all you'll ever get charged?" Exactly! We have used AWS and DO a lot this past year. DO is great for smaller sites/api'

Why do you feel you speak so little? Is it because of insecurities, working alone or simply because you have little to speak about in the situations you are in? Oftentimes people speak for the sake of being heard but don't add anything

I am happy to see this featured on the front page. I am using this for a current project after coming off an Angular project. I am so glad I chose this. It is simple to use and a pleasure to work with.

The "Lessons Learned" at the end are priceless. I have created my fair share of single purpose easy to use utilities that made some money. They are fun to build.

All of the stuff that comes before, after and in-between the programming part is what's exciting imo. The idea phase is exciting. The planning phase is exciting. The thrill of seeing users use what you have programmed is exciting. Bein

Fair points but at some point you have to ask yourself at what cost to the business, especially if you are a small shop. Implementing all new trendy frameworks & over-engineered setup comes at a cost. I am not at all opposed to using ne

Good remote companies will provide you with equipment, pay you a competitive salary and provide you with support. Ones that don't are probably best to stay away from. Similar to non-remote companies who pay below going rate but try to

Oh wow! I have only hired remote employees within my own state and contractors out of state. That does sound like an entirely different level of challenges. How many employees do you have within your own state vs out of state?

"keeps them happy and not looking for greener pastures" These types of developers are always looking for greener pastures. No fault of their own. They should be. If all you "really have is creative freedom" you can'

Who are you trying to make it "right" or "optimally" for? The developer community or the end user? Unless your end user is the developer community, I doubt they give a crud if you are using jQuery or all of this stuff. A

You don't need all of these tools to get an app up and running even though reading the tech blogs may make it seem like you do. Frontend dev isn't really that difficult if you focus only on what is really needed for your app at ha

If you are still at the stage of finding product-market fit, you shouldn't be hiring anyone just yet imo.

You can combine secretarial work and customer support into one role until both warrant having enough work for 2 separate positions.

by 20years 10y ago
Customer support and administration. Both of these will suck up the founders time and can more easily be hired for vs software dev or sales. This will also free up the founders time to focus on other things such growth. I personally think s

Yes unfortunately. We run a property rental advertising service and are always battling fraud. We have had to implement tons of security features to try and catch things before they come through. Fraud is not an issue at all for our busines

Less than 10% of our customers pay with Amex. Can someone shed some light on why a developer would implement this for Amex payments vs just using Stripe, Auth.net or another payment gateway that supports Amex? I am trying to understand the
