   Still, it seems they're putting the effort in, and it would seem to be a better solution to simply email them and ask.

   I run Linux now so it's a moot point, but I survived for years without any infection or malware running Windows without an AV solution. It's all common sense really. Of course, if you have a system where it can be used by the pu

   Don't get me wrong, I understand where you're coming from and at a glance it looks like you're in the right, but their lawyers probably saw an opportunity when you provided a compromise.

   So you substantiated their lawsuit by agreeing with them that there could be brand confusion, by offering a compromise. Unfortunate.

   Isn't that a non-poaching clause rather than a non-compete clause? Usually non-competes say something about not working FOR competitors / in the same industry for X months after termination.

   Companies don't want to have to train people at all now, especially startups. So my advice to the OP would be to freelance until he can confidently call himself a senior developer.

   We use it for push in production, and it has worked very well (we haven't had a single issue with it thusfar). Haven't used any other parts of it.

    We[1] have previously given a candidate a (small) work sample test to solve, and allowed them to use either their own system or one of ours to solve it. We don't watch them while they attempt the solution and we allow them full access

    They should have told you that an upgrade would require a fee, but I wouldn't complain too much about ten dollars.

    There is a (mostly) unfiltered feed available, just change the sort order to Most Recent. You may find that Facebook periodically (or in my case, always) changes it back though.

    I would imagine that an HR department in the US would be reticent to even look at a resume that included a photo to avoid the appearance of discrimination.

    Thanks, that makes sense. I'll have to see if you've written a blog on this before.

    Could you provide some more insight on what you're using instead? Cover letters? Github? What if the candidate has only worked on proprietary code?

    I prefer LESS since its syntax is essentially a superset of CSS. I'd still be interested in hearing the arguments in favor of SASS.

    Escrow, reasonable terms once you're a member, they only take 5% (and only out of money you actually are paid), and they have assisted me in obtaining payment in the past from a deadbeat employer. There's also the general feeling

    I agree. The second the OP mentioned that he would need a visa and that this was a new startup, I assumed they let him go because they were naive about US visas at the beginning. They are not an easy process; typically a work visa will re

    Freelance. Usually firms will want full time employees and won't hire part timers (too much hassle when they can just go for a contractor, hence my suggestion). They don't care about where or when you work if you're a freela

    If I had to guess, I'd say it's because they want people to focus on the content of comments, and not their formatting.

    I was rejected at the US border (entering from Canada) several years ago for lack of ties; one of the things on the checklist the CBP guard wanted was a lease. I told her that I lived with my parents, and she basically said that I was scre

    I use CustomHouse ( http://onlinefx.westernunion.com/ ) to transfer money to my Canadian account when necessary. That said, I live in the US so I don't have to transfer a huge percentage of my income, just enough to p

    If you decide to immigrate with a B1, you generally have to return home first and apply for an immigrant visa, unless you fall into a category whereby you can immediately file for an Adjustment of Status (which is almost certain to cause re
