On the Launch newsletter they show all the deals going on, and many are foreign to US. You should see those there.

Really similar to any other repo you've seen. I would say the biggest difference is that there are many private libraries being used liberally. It's odd to see that sprinkled in throughout, whereas most codebases you understand

Cut/Delay a few features so the thing can be launched?

I really don't agree, and think you are misguided by the high end/low end characterizations, although I can see where you are coming from. You think that if something was enterprise grade, etc. and had all the features people wou

Make an MVP that has some of the capabilities you mention, and build a small loyal audience that pays, either with eyeballs/time spent on the app or actual dollars. If you have a smidgen of that, and a team of 1 or more capable people

I think it's perfectly fine to have some of the hobbies that are completely pointless with no end goal/product, but: Some of them I'm sure you have bigger dreams with. For those 1 or 2, make your end goal/product happen

It sounds like you were doing another form of startup. Perhaps some writers bang out the prose and have an editor help to trim the fat rather than trying to wear all of the hats required to launch a new novelist. Also: > Beta readers te

The way you answer it depends on the client. One good answer is that it depends on the job requirements. For a stressful gig where you are the sole developer with huge responsibility and tight deadline, it would be worth more than, say, a

What was the amount on this one? Depending upon that, it may be worth hiring a lawyer. Either way, never forget you are beholden to the middle man when you play in marketplaces/walled gardens.

How is that enforced on the employer side, keeping employees in their contract?

I think you should only do it if you have hit the ceiling of your potential. You didn't say anything that indicates that so I would say no. Anecdotally the best performers and best compensated had BS, BA or no degree so it's a no

Really demanding clients, no glory for anything you do, people being thrown under the bus, lots of travel, some greenfield projects with tight deadlines, sometimes made to fix a project half finished.

Genuinely interested: When you say you are in love with the system, is it because you think of yourself as kind of a luddite programmer, or do you believe there's something that mainframes and Cobol do that other stacks can't? Or

Well ad blockers are a reality. They are in the Chrome app store. Using them from time to time could be seen as testing something (eating your own dogfood). It isn't the same as taking a stance against the company mission. Speaking

Interesting observations. But for me, (been in Japan many times over the last 5 years), I didn't notice any of the items you mentioned. Seemed similar to NY/SF speed in Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama. To me, there is less or no small
