I've had 10+ interviews in the last month and it's really a shit process. First of all, I'm terrible at technical interviews. There's just something about being in that "we're watching your every move" e

Ember and rails compliment each other very well with many gems like active_model_serializers and devise on the rails side and many add-ons for ember like ember-simple-auth-devise. ember-cli saves weeks of environment setup and includes auto

And this is exactly the kind of customer you get when you offer cheap work. You'll probably regret this. Make sure you have a rock solid contract. My advice: If you want to develop an app, JFDI.

A solid contract should be at the top of the list. At the very minimum it should cover exactly how your work, the responsibilities of both parties, what's included and not included in the scope and exactly how/when you get paid.
