I believe OP meant « implementation » with « how ». You want a PM that knows the product (really) well and brings new work to the developers in the form of well documented problems, not solutions. You don’t want your PM to get involved in t

Excellent comment and suggestion! Very refreshing to read in this day and age where it’s not uncommon to have more micro services than paying customers.

“Editor” is that people Google and look for. You can add (“merge”), remove, delete pages, which is technically editing. You can annotate the document by adding text, pictures, signatures, checkboxes as well as fill PDF form fields: unfortun

Your reply is a cynical take on GP’s comment that was providing a clear, concrete and simple solution to the problem at hand that most countries, especially in EU, are facing. Your comment on the incentives of private companies missed his p

Have you heard of / looked into “prestashop”[1]? I used it a couple of years ago for an acquaintance with a fairly big inventory (in the thousands as well) and I was pleasantly surprised by how feature-full, flexible and easy to use (f

PG did not use the term moonlighting for the fact that you don’t have to. That is unless you agreed to a contract that forbids from holding multiple jobs. 40h/week paying the bills leaves plenty of free time to do something on the side

OP words are dramatic, but he does have a point – bigger players in Europe could (and should) do better. You are on the other hand setting unrealistic expectations for Estonia / Finland. Hardware is obviously a lot more costly than sof

Excellent question! First off, I assume you're asking the question from your point of view, or people similar to you: without knowledge of frontend / React. If you do have experience with React (or are even proficient in it), in 2
