Above all, find other people in your position and area and ask them what they make. In addition to salary, also consider equity, which is a different discussion depending on the size and stage of the company. Piaw Na's book has a good chapt

The idea is neat. However, you're asking for too much up front, and the form is in an awkward position. You don't need the product name, your workers can get that from the link, and if not reject the request as "too vague." Same thing with

Find an existing community and make them converts. Make your thing 120% better than the thing they're using and they'll start to use it.

I'm no expert, but I'm very sure that the difficulty in finding items in a retail store is by design. If every customer walked in, grabbed exactly what they needed without looking at anything else, paid and left, the stores would probably m

If you're thinking of making this an app, consider two processes: Mine: 1. I realize I need something and don't know where to find it. 2. I look around for a person who looks like they work here. 3. I ask said person. Yours: 1. I realize I

It took me a few minutes to realize that this is about iOS data synchronization. Good name, and good choice of frameworks. It would be nice to see a complete example including the iOS integration bit. What makes you different from Parse?

You should lead with a feature matrix comparing SNEBU to rsync because you really need to differentiate yourself from rsync, which has been the standard for 15 years. Everyone writes some kind of recursive backup tool, just like everybody w

Cute. You might be on to something. At Google there's an internal badge system that lets anyone award any badge they create to anyone else. Once it went self-service it became really successful. The badges appear on corporate profiles. Some

I don't mean to sound cynical, but are you sure this is a problem worth solving? Yes, it's a problem, but it's along the lines of my microwave getting dirty over time, or needing to fill a car tire occasionally. I don't need or care about a

If you want "least amount of cruft," which is strictly perceptual, then Debian is the way to go. If you want Linux and you simply to get work done regardless of ideology, Ubuntu is the way to go.

MailChimp does something similar, too. We found that a surprising number of recipients display images by default in email.

There's lots of information on how to do backups. For starters, back up your data and back up your code. If you're using a VPS, see if you can take a snapshot as a backup. Above all - I learned this the hard way - make sure you can restore

The first step is admitting that you can't optimize for every direction. Facebook has a motto, "Done is better than perfect," which I used to think was cheesy, but realized is quite brilliant. "Perfect" leads to satisfaction, but "done" lea

Ideas are cheap. Execution is hard. If you want advice, ask people you don't know. Friends will always tell you that the thing you're building is cool because they're your friends and that's their job. Strangers will give you cold, honest f

This is wrong for a variety of reasons. First, you should never accept angel investment from non-accredited investors (i.e., individuals with a net worth of at least one million cents). Second, the real value of the investors is their netwo

The payment UI looks unfamiliar and slightly confusing. https://gethelium.com/static/images/sales/overlay.png * Why are the labels _inside_ the input field? It's surprising when you can edit _some_ text in a well but not all of it.
