IE8 is growing because people are moving off of IE5/6/7. Soon they'll have to move off IE8 as well, but I imagine that IE8 is the logical stopover since apps that only ran in older IE versions don't require a lot of wor

The number of people balking at $9/mo in this thread is amazing. $9 is nothing compared to salaries. If it saves you 1 hour of productivity per month, you get 10x return on that cost straight away.

Good UI is relative to the product functionality and the goals of its users. The command line is good UI for some things and bad for others. Its certainly not universally good.

What exactly are you looking for? Another technical cofounder? A business person? Etc.. Finding different types of people require different approaches because the market isn't even.

Its hard to counter an argument that includes vague terms like "most". Some companies do what you're describing. Some companies who are trying to "disrupt an established company" are doing so because they're le

IMO this isn't really a problem that can be solved via Personal-Stylist-as-a-Service or a Trunk Club type offering. Engineers dress like shit because they don't prioritize personal appearance very highly. The only thing that will

This is what I was going to say, myself. If you want top talent you have to pay for it. Period. Even if the job is unpleasant, money can solve the problem. "Reasonable rates considering local cost of living" doesn't sound

Question for those with knowledge -- would a 60-ish year old sample still be virulent/communicable/whatever?

That is true, but you also do have to take actions that generate that default good credit. In many cases no credit == bad credit. Hence the question OP asked.

> Unless you're taking out a mortgage tomorrow I don't really see why it matters. Because it does? Apartments often do credit checks. Utilities run checks on you and require down payments for bills if your credit is too low.

On the flip side of that coin, I've watched people take 1-2 months of vacation within their unlimited vacation policy. It really depends on who you're working for.

1 and 2) Not just that. In most countries, a freelance wage and salaried wage are different. For a freelance wage, you're paying for things out of pocket (taxes, benefits, etc) that your employer is required to pay for instead if you

You should raise your rates and get off of oDesk. Though it sounds like that's what you're about to do, with TopTal. If you're a reasonably experienced Rails developer with strong English skills and you're not charging

Let me put it like this. I did an oDesk rate analysis. 5 star developers in my niche charge SIGNIFICANTLY less than I am right now, and I'm considering raising rates. You might be making a fine living. But I suspect that if you&#x27

1) Freelance $30/hour is absolutely not equivalent to a salary of 5400. 2) Assuming 100% utilization is completely unrealistic. Does this frontend dev ever want to take vacation or take a sick day? Does the time that they spend searc

You don't. Or if you do, you're lucky and/or you wait in line for them. Good developers don't use oDesk to find freelance work. They have a good enough reputation to find work through their professional network. oDesk

Seriously, who cares? Why is there a badge of pride on our industry being hard? Its not like using a Tessel is something grandmas can do. Why is it a requirement for someone to know how to wire up a LED without blowing it? Software has

by noodle 12y ago
Dude. You need to get some perspective on this. People are not going to buy a Tessel to build a production-grade hardware project. It is for hobbyists.

Because hardware is hard. There's a learning curve that requires a time investment before you can do anything cool. Anything that starts to tear down that learning curve is a step in the right direction. Do you honestly think that th
