In my personal interactions with people in the e-commerce/drop shipping space, the odds of them telling you what they sell is extremely slim. The barrier to entry for anyone else is very low, so once someone has a winning product, they

Upon reading this my first thought was also about said love letter. I guess they’re not that eager about the competition anymore. Or perhaps they figured out that competition does not necessarily equate to fair play.

I think it is well established by now that this .NET Foundation is ultimately answerable to Microsoft. Also, Claire - who started the "kerfuffle" - is a Microsoft employee. Given how especially Scott always has a big opinion about

They’re long-time MS employees who know how to play the political game. Highly doubtful they do anything that put their cushy jobs at risk

Another popular detective series from that time was German detective series Derrick. Growing up in the 70s and 80s in South Africa, watching Derrick was one of my weekly highlights.

Over a 25+ year career I have had to code far too many Admin Panels. Frameworks like Laravel have products like Nova and Backpack to help with this, but sadly there is nothing to speed up this process for ASP.NET Core. So I am working on St

I'm a long time .NET developer and I love the framework, language (C#) and developer tools (I use Jetbrains Rider). However, if there is one thing I have to find that I do not like it is this. It is extremely common to find over-engine

I bought it and I am happy with my decision. You need to understand, however, that there is still a bit of labour involved in extracting reusable components. For example, you will want to make things like the buttons easily reusable instead

I understand that. My issue is with the fact that (a) you make claims about earning more which you cannot back up with numbers and (b) you do not have any obvious disclaimers stating that this is a high-risk proposition and that the freelan

What is your proof that I will earn more as a freelancer? As a freelancer, I have been approached a few times over my 20+ year career by people to work for free in exchange for future revenue share. I have declined this each time and on eac

A few years ago I worked for Auth0 and they made use of a Professional Employer Organization that took care of the logistics and compliance around hiring remote employees in various countries. If I remember correctly, they made use of a com

I think the explanation you have above ("...for people who haven’t met on a platform and need a framework to engage in a standard deal") does not come across in your website copy. My impression from your website was that it was ju

This reminds me of domestic flights in Thailand from Bangkok to Chiang Mai where it is common to see Krispy Kreme mules. There are no Krispy Kreme stores in Chiang Mai but the people in Chiang Mai seems to prefer it over other Doughnut shop

Toptal is a big offender with this. I asked them before to do this and they declined. I understand there are some evergreen content out there, but anything related to technology does not fall into that category and having a date is importan

I am just starting out on this route, so I cannot give you any indication of whether or not it will be successful (yet). My product ( https://www.usecloudpress.com/ ) integrates with various Content Management Systems, so I a

I use Paddle and so far I am happy with them. The integration was simple enough and their support has been responsive. I cannot use Stripe in my country, so I had to look for alternatives. Paddle is more expensive, but they have many things

At my previous company, I asked to have a look at the code base before joining. The reason was that this was a system that has been in development for the past 13 years and I wanted to get an idea of how well they handle tech-debt on such a
