This is stupid. The $5 fee, whether it's small or not, still requires people to pull out their wallets. A lot of people simply don't want to get out their wallet and go through the sign up process, so they won't. A lot of their news is ava

I used to buy and sell sites on SitePoint ~4 years ago. Selling: I would build a simple blog, drop in Google ads, and get some basic traffic with AdWords and then they would generate some clicks on AdSense. That would give me a few dollars

I golf a lot, and this seems like A "No kidding..." type of statement to me. Birdie putts are less common, even for great golfers, and so when it comes up everyone tends to put a little bit more pressure on themselves, consciously or uncons

I usually just ask on one of the phone interviews before coming in "Do you guys dress casually or prefer business casual?" and they tell me exactly how they dress. It is that easy.

If their revenue projections are accurate, then $10bb is not that crazy. They also have 200 million users and each user has some value - though I have no idea what it is. And I know people will say "but they're not accurate with their proj

Don't micromanage the developers. Work with them to set goals, get explanation when goals aren't met, and celebrate when they are. In my experience, developers actually work way more than the 30-40 hours a week they're "in the office" - th

I always do a fixed rate for my work and go out of my way to help customers, sometimes years later, with simple problems for free. Guess who they call when they have another job? Me. Guess how much more they're willing to pay than new cli

I enjoyed the line "Sometimes, it's important to wake up and stop dreaming." I think is a nice balance to all the advice you get about "dreaming big" at commencement speeches. Dreaming big is only good if you have the motivation to accompl

Have you tried searching LinkedIn and Craigslist? Craigslist is definitely hit or miss and you'll be browsing through a ton of scams, but you might get lucky - some good companies do use it. LinkedIn always seems to have interesting jobs,

960->1020 isn't necessarily that small depending on what the space is used for. If it's just making a content column wider then it's not really that useful in most cases, but if it's adding another column with useful information for the

I just graduated from college in June 2008 with a BSBA in Marketing. I am now the lead UI designer for a major Rails site. Based on just that, yes, it's obsolete. I am not using my degree in any official capacity and it cost $60,000. But

Yawn. The downmodding here just gets more and more crazy :) I only said that because I have seen multiple single pages like that hit the front page. Did not realize it was such a controversial thing to joke about.
