   This is a really cool concept! Awesome job. I like the feedback someone else gave on showing photos of the people. Since this is more 'socialize here' than 'sleep here,' (unless it pivots into house-based on-availability takeout) I'd prefer

   * Can you talk to them? Is the company DNA so focused on 60-70hrs/wk that there is no middle ground? * Can you negotiate a raise? You say that you're earning the least per-hour you have for 3 careers. Can you negotiate up? Sure, you hate it

   I agree that there isn't a need to reinvent the wheel, but using it I find myself wanting some firebug-esq capabilities. I ended up just firing up inspector in Chrome, but there may be an opportunity here. Or integrating something like that

   For sure! I'll try using it when I have the chance and let you know what I think. Lightning Edit: and a friend IMs me with questions about CSS. I'm going in.

    This is a really cool idea, Zach. Props for making + launching it. I can see it's value - I do consulting work (web design / marketing) with small businesses and I often spend too much time getting Google Maps to embed just right into the s

    Hi PonyGumbo > Contract I completely agree. DO have a document outlining cost, payment, timeline, and what you charge per-hour for support / over-time work. Don't overthink it and write out a detailed contract before you even have c

    # Charge Customers Money Figure how much you need to earn each month to get by. Divide that by the number of hours you want to work each month. That's your minimum hourly rate. Now just figure out how much you want to earn in profit. Person

    First off, what is his dream right now? What projects does he work on in his free time? It's wonderful that you want to help him, but unless it's something that he's passionate about, will he want to do it?

    I immediately thought of this service as soon as I read that they disabled the limit for any facebook / twitter links. Kudos to the person that's building this. I want to buy you a beer.

    That's a sweet idea, but there's a tipping point where the value of being the Nth+1 person on the service doesn't increase your chances of being noticed. Now, make it a consulting service where people pay you $1000 $5,000 for website / onli

    it's a wix site - simple, online sites using flash. The guy is smart - he's using a simple tool that gets the job done, not spending his time writing a custom CMS. That's a skill that I need to get better at: pick the tool that gets the job

    Great site and I immediately sent it to a bunch of friends. It's be great if the site had some embedded mechanisms to share (Tweet, Email, 'Like') it so, you know, it was easier for more people to see it. This is brilliant. Good luck, chas.
