   Let me make something abundantly clear here. There's absolutely ZERO discrediting of Susan being done in my comment that TK is responsible for his own downfall. I'm being completely misunderstood here. My desire is simply to asc

   She didn't bring him down... HE brought HIMSELF down. Kinda clickbait-y, if you ask me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

   I'd say >95% of the material covered in my business track could have been learned by reading "The Personal MBA" by Josh Kaufman. If only it had been around when I started.

   I completely agree with you, and I'm in my mid-40's still paying off college debt for a degree that hasn't helped. (I was a business management major) Unless, you're going to be a doctor/lawyer/engineer/

   Are Windows or Linux QA any better, by comparison? I've been getting very disillusioned with macOS, but the workflow pain on the other platforms has been enough to keep me coming back to macOS, thus far. Working on a Linux machine woul

   I would encourage you to look at it from the other direction. In other words, rather than finding a language, and then a problem you can solve using that language... go the other way. Find the problem you want to solve first, then find the

   I don't know if this is counter to what you want to do, but I would encourage you to consider investing in a Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500. It'll help you go paperless, and they have iOS/Android apps that you can scan direct to your

    I wouldn't launch anything without talking to an IP lawyer first. Did your new employer know you were working on this prior to starting the job? What I'd be worried about, since this fits into their portfolio well, is them takin

    Let me depart from the hive mind here. You have another alternative I haven't yet seen in the comments here. Stay at this job for a time, and use it as an opportunity to explore side work, and other ways to make money. Multiple streams

    I thought /bin/sh didn't even exist everywhere anymore, and that it was merely a symlink to $NEWER_SHELL? Is that not the case?

    I have a story, but I haven't made it public. Someone recommended to me that I do just that, but the idea scares the hell out of me. Part of me feels like it'd be career suicide if I went public.

    I'm all in with Google. All my business email and services are as a paying G-Suite customer. I have my business email pull in email from all my other non-biz accounts. The experience as a paying Google customer seems to eliminate the o

    Like the others, I'm curious as well. It would be great to have a model like that, at least it sounds like it at this point. :)

    Dropping his hourly rate will likely get him more of the kinds of clients that he does not want. Your advice goes very much against the grain of what others who are very experienced in this field would say (which is to raise your rates )

    A lot of what you're talking about sounds familiar. It'd be nice to talk to someone, even if just to commiserate and bounce ideas off each other. My email is in my profile, if you're interested. Good luck.

    I would think it would depend on many factors. For starters: 1. What the nature of the work is. 2. What the culture of the company is, and if you have adequate help from other folks you work with. 3. How quickly you learn. That makes it a c

    Have you set up an agency before, Lee? Just curious what your experience was, if so.
