I'm the Director of Engineering at an e-commerce startup in an industry I know very little about (BaubleBar, fashion jewelry), and our challenges are in a much different realm than a product based startup, and I would say that we attra

I think we are in agreement. I am interpreting OPs problem as "I love developing code but my projects don't go anywhere." My answer is to switch from writing code to solving the trouble problem, which is "how to find

I struggle with the same issue. I've shifted my thinking quite a bit and now think of it as just solving a different problem. Say my goal is to write code 6 hours a day with headphones on. In order to do that, I need people to pay me

For our team at least, our vagrant box is an exact version mirror (Redis, MySQL, PHP, nginx, git...) and paths of our production servers. We have our DevOps maintain the box so the rest of the team doesn't have to worry about it. Chan

I have never felt like I had a dire need to do either of those things but couldn't. For me, things that would fit better in that category are when my wife bugs me that we should do an exercise class tonight, and I don't want to be

I promise we aren't trying to be scammy. But I definitely appreciate the cynicism. I have little interest in collecting or doing anything with alumni email addresses. We are trying to validate that there is any demand for a directory

Exactly! The point of conflict for me is how to equate that. It would be hard for me to have to pay $300 cash to have a great night relaxing with my wife (and someday, hopefully kids) but if I can get that much for my time, that's wh

When freelancing at an hourly rate, I often use that same calculation for everything that I do. That $15 cab ride will save me 20 minutes on the subway, maybe I can figure out a way to work more efficiently and bill that time? I no longer

Programmers perform the same type of risk assessment that you would do managing a portfolio. A coder is exchanging their time in exchange for your money or equity. Without a doubt, there is a challenge in finding someone with the right co

Great find. I had a similar issue with a dumb app I built a long time ago that was more of a learning experiment / sick joke than anything real. It was called Rubbed Out and the point was to list all of your friends you had thought about w

I attended a talk at SXSW a few years ago, mostly about the Millennial generation and their desire to work with you, not for you. I'm no longer young, but I've bounced around to quite a few jobs because I've always run into a wall in te
