Then offer unlimited, right? Even if it means raising your prices, then your clients would probably like paying more knowing that pricing is predictable. Also, I think a free trial would be nice. Just set everything up and then show it to t

IMO, 2-3 years is too soon. You might be pigeon-holed as a manager for future jobs. I guess you can always craft a resume to emphasize your hands-on technical experience though. Maybe management is what you want? If so go for it. But your t

I think that's over simplifying it. People specialize. Ask me to make a bagel from scratch and I doubt I could. But those cooks probably get minimum wage. This is all about competition from offshore work which drives programming rates

Part of the problem with billing as a software engineer is that our work is easily offshored. You can't hire an offshore plumber for $5/hr and if you could, I'm sure plumbers would get a lot more people upset at them charging

I think in the near term you take someone's job. But soon, even for that person, their work will be re-allocated to something that's not automated. Human desire is not just increased consumption; it's exploration, invention,

If you're serious about limiting liability, you also need a business bank account and to keep completely separate finances from your business. Once it can be proven in court that your company is in no way distinct from you, then you&#x

There's also software specific rules, such as sharing high encryption code with embargoed countries. I'm no expert but it seems to me that even sharing a JVM or git repo that has crypto in it might be illegal.

It's 2014 and I still haven't found a music player/manager I really like. Tomahawk and Musiq come close but they each leave something to be desired. iTunes circa 2008 was pretty good, but I'd like something for Linux, an

I would have preferred the page-length banner to be to the right side of the article. I think it's easier to read when the left side is simple, so that you can track to the next line easily.

I can confirm personally that you can lose flagging privileges :) My advice is not to flag off-topic posts and just stick to flagging spam or obscene content.

Here's code I have for a quadratic spline. It loops through each x-axis value and stores y-values in an array. There are three inputs assumed to be given, points: (x0,y0) (x1,y1) (x2,y2). I license this snippet as Public Domain.

But 100K at .2% and 120K at .0% means you value them at $10m. Their counter to you revealed they value themselves at $60m. And their valuation of record is $50m. I'd counter with .05% and $120K which they might counter with .05% and $1

I also saw the FAQ with CPU listed as % -- but they write: Type CPU (%) micro 2 (max)* *Micro instances [...] are limited to 2 CPUs at best So that indicates to me the pricing page is right and the FAQ header is wrong.

I would like to see some info on how they're counting CPUs in their pricing. 50 CPUs for $30/mo is too good to be true unless the CPU is not very powerful. Also, most apps that could actually use 50 CPUs would be hurt by only havi

All programming jobs vary widely, from scenes straight out of Dilbert to ones from The Social Network . That said, here's a typical day of a regular programming job: 9:30am - show up (10:30am in California) 9:30-10:15am - read last
