Years ago (before airbnb) I was working on that independent landlord idea and got cold feet when people I was interviewing seemed mostly concerned with insurance liability of having strangers in their space. LiquidSpace came along and did t

I didn't read it that way at all. It sounds to me like he's asking how to find a particular role/job, not how to find multiple clients.

Have you considered going independent and getting a few clients on retainer? That’s what I do and most of my clients stick around for 5+ years and often have bigger projects to work on from time to time. I work around 20 hours most weeks an

Just another illustration that the "America" you learned about is not the America™ we live in. As a parent I find it more and more difficult to try to teach my kids the reality of America without sounding like a conspiracy theory

My experience with this type of intricate UI engineering is that often agencies and UI/UX consultants sell this romantic idea and fail miserably to execute on it. It is either that the agency way over extends itself on the theory that

Thanks! Feel free to shoot me an email (address in profile) if you have any questions. In terms of retirement, I have been able to fund my wife's and my retirement accounts each year. I think the biggest challenge of being solo is that

Yea, it's funny how the fear of missing out makes people put up with so much bullshit in their lives. I don't use Facebook, I don't use Twitter, I don't deal with robocalls. I am not missing out on anything other than th

About a year ago I put my phone on DND and have left it on ever since. My wife and the kids school are in my favorites so they can get through. If I have to make business calls I will initiate the call or just remember to turn it off if I g

My “smart” TV is really a dumb, laggy POS and that DUN DUN is completely unpredictable. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it is lagged, sometimes it doesn’t, if we have the sonos bar turned up, wooo buddy it will make your heart skip a beat.

Maybe we're seeing now that burning up hundreds of millions in VC cash to try to acquire users with free meals isn't really a viable business model? After being annoyed hearing them on every podcast I ever listened to for awhile,

I don’t really follow the author’s story. She scaled a business from 0 to 10k users over 18 months and quit. Now she is consulting on growth? The whole thing feels very internet market-y. I think we could learn more from why she quit consid

Wow, I had no idea sketch added prototyping. Since I only use it when I'm not writing code I don't really keep up with the features but... wow! Thanks for the tip!

Have you heard of/tried Marvel App? (marvelapp.com) I tried InVision but the syncing between sketch and Invision was so laggy I couldn't deal with it. I found Marvel and have been happily giving them my money ever since. Granted I
