I can't understand why that's a problem. I am a great believer in "strong opinions, weakly held". Now, I do agree that "trust me it's cool" is not a very good explanation, but if a good one is provided, a

Is developing a mobile OS significantly harder than a desktop one? It's odd to me that many FOSS projects do a fine job with desktop Linux distribution yet it is so hard to have a mobile one? Nokia spent 1B Euro on MeeGo? Did Palm have

There are two things I dislike in UX: Spinners and Hamburgers. I'll be glad to see both go the way of the Dodo.

As I mentioned in another comment, the price is indeed fixed, but the work is not -- if client's initial request is too much work for ShittyMVP's offering I will advise to remove features. If all of them are crucial to the MVP, an

Yeah, getting client is tough. Especially when the targets here don't have anything out yet. ShittyMVP was just launched so nothing yet with exactly that model, however there are a lot of lessons here from my previous work with clients

Design is very simple -- creative work is usually the most time consuming and so what I do is have an aesthetically pleasing yet very simple design. This depends on the project, but mostly (in no particular order): Node, Python, Angular,

That's right -- I ask for money upfront to know they're serious. I then deploy the final product to a dev env and don't deliver until they say they want to keep it

You get your money back for any reason! I can understand why you'd be angry if we break the shitty promise.

I founded this after bumping over and over again into (usually non-tech) people just wanting to get something out, now . It's a lot harder for non-technical people to test the waters, and it often includes a lot of grinding work just

An important thing you should consider is the cost of change. I once built a screenplay editor in Hebrew for Israeli screenwriters. It had everything on your list. For free. The competition was practically Microsoft Word + macros. The probl

I've always wondered, why can't we just pay one tax? Say make income tax 1.5x what it's now and cancel all other taxes. That way it'll be even easier!
