No, I got that. My point is that child labor is a bit too extreme for comparisons sake. Smoking and the tobacco industry would be more inline with advertising.

Id say comparing advertising with child labor proves how biases distort perception.

Woocommerce. It just works. Dont over think it. Tome deciding is time not selling.

It's pretty naive to try and think that people are not the issue. They are. Advertising simply exploits the flaw.

If you do end up going through it, shoot me an email. There's other follow up material around the subject. I don't list it here because its easy to get lost in the details when starting. Simon is the source of it all and the genes

Before you go with anyone, look up Wardley maps by Simon Wardley. Read his medium blog (all of it).

I have plenty of experience in the startup world. Here is my take around salaries: - You will be pressured into taking less. That's normal founder hustle. - A founder is the one taking the risk, not you. Thats why stocks are worthless

A salary is not about fairness. What is the market rate for someone with your skills, experience, and credentials? Look it up. If it turns out you are being underpaid, why should you continue to work at a discount? Also, the stock options a

That's how I conduct interviews these days. It's just conversation based around tech. Problem is that it is not scalable. Not everyone has the skills to do such thing. Thats why my company still resorts to hacker rank screeners .

Thats what I call the grind factor. Does the person grind it out until they succeed? Very important in programming.

Yes, they are. Two years ago I worked on a project to open up their catalog to streaming services. It was an interesting project. Python 3/Django/Postgres/Redis.

Depends on the type of selling. Face to face? Online? Direct? Narrow it down and go sell. But how do you start? You just do. There is no tutorial. The one thing that helps is selling things you know about and can provide an educated opinion

Absolutely. Try and work with someone who challenges you to be better as well.

I disagree. The labor was, is, and will probably continue being free. The community aspect of oss is not a form of payment, but a nice benefit. Ask any of the community supported and loved oss devs on twitter who constantly complain of bein

Id love to help more in depth. Would you mind shooting me an email? pryelluw at gmail . com Not trying to sell you or anything. Just that this is not something I can briefly answer on HN.

I suggest you leverage meetup.com to het an idea of what kind of nerworking opportunities are there. Do keep in mind tgatz networking in another country is not cheap. Id start at the closest tech hub. Maybe London or Berlin. Then try and ge

So, your location and constraints pretty much put you in a disadvatange when its time to negotiate. Development work is viewed as less expensive in the EU, unless you are in certain key parts. Remote also means you are perceived as an off s

So, 100 hours and got paid a $1000. That means you worked for $10 an hour. Not great. The 5% stake is worth nothing at all. It might even be a liability in the case this company is mismanaged. Id go for money (more this time) and shared (mo

Base rate and location? I sometimes had trouble charging over $125/hr from the Caribbean, but from Atlanta its way easier.

It is also a fabulous source of cheap disinformation. For every well researched journalism piece, there are thousands of image based memes that influence people's opinion on any subject. That's why social media sites and search co

Same here, except with Python/Django. If performance is an issue, then I'll pre-render as much as possible and serve from elastic or other k/v db. A small amount of JS (really small) can handle any dynamic portion.

I understand where you are coming from, but the question is flawed. All taxi / ride companies must meet some kind of safety and maintenance standards. No matter who it is. Looking back and saying "Taxi companies were also as bad&q
