I have never been into sneakers...in 1989 I wanted Jordans but they cost $120 at the time and I was only 9 and my parents said no. They insisted that they weren't any better than "Fives" (generic shoes we would get at Big 5)

The cost of raising 4 children will exceed the tax savings. I couldn't find the numbers for Hungary, but in the US the average cost to raise a child through age 17 is $250k. The average federal taxes are $9k per year. So 4 kids would c

I rarely talk with companies who are open to remote work I have only searched for 100% distributed companies, ignoring companies where remote is not the default situation. I even avoid companies that offer remote but have a central office

Why do you hate California? In your field (analytics and data science) remote work should be an option, then you could live anywhere.

I started at $30k in 2004 and by 2017 I made $200k. It is about 18% on average. The biggest jumps in a single year was 2009 going from $55k to $80k in a 3 month period, 2011 going from $80k to $110k, and 2013 going from $117k to $140k by us

One big problem with your approach is when one person's value depends on another. Say I build the app but marketing doesn't sell it?

I've seen it time and time again. An employee wants a 10% raise but management says no and the employee quits. Then after a long search a new hire comes in at 10% more. Why not just give the existing employee that 10%? I think the reas

Is it realistic to expect to get 25% of a market you are newly-entering? I would say 1% or 2% would be more realistic, especially given the incumbents.

I've been the incoming dev on a project like this. The CTO (a brilliant architecture guy who hadn't written code in a long time) built a proof of concept in a spaghetti of c# and PHP (drupal). It was an absolute mess, but it worke

The ones with outdated UIs have a captive market because the market is so small that no one bothers to compete. There are only 200,000 physical therapists in the US.

I'm assuming you are replacing a CTO...the obvious question would be why is the previous CTO leaving.

I would strongly suggest finding one. I have worked as a contractor for several startups building MVPs. A common theme I saw was 2 marketing/sales guys getting taken advantage of by unscrupulous/unqualified offshore outsourcing fi

I just went through a remote-only job search and the most common question was "have you worked remotely before?" (I have, for the past 3 years). Know the challenges of working remote (schedule, communication, distractions, etc.) a

I had a math prodigy friend who went to college at age 13, graduated by 16. Because he was so young he needed a chaperone at college and he had to live at home so he went to a local college. He was a local news story as a teenager, but once

In fact I know a travel writer who travels the world and writes articles for magazines. If my writing could just pay for my travel that might be worth it.

Thay could be said of nearly every suggestion in this thread, since the original post assumed developers leaving the tech world.

I would write. Im not sure if that means novels, short stories, movie scripts, or something else entirely. It would be interesting to be a travel or food writer.

I think people just stopped using the buzzword IoT/Internet of Things even though there are many more devices in use now than before. Just a few years ago Amazon echo was just a curiosity, and now connected speakers are everywhere. I h

What are you using to fetch the pages? Something like CasperJS/PhantomJS? If the banners are images or iframes from an external domain you should be able to traverse the DOM and locate them this way. You would have to have a list of ad

Elevator safety code requires a working phone, so if that was broken, you should report it. There should be a current inspection certificate (less than a year old usually) and that should have been tested during the inspection.

Exactly...if it's legal, you won't see dark alley trolling or illegal turns. You would see professional websites, apps, and clean, regulated places of business.
