Best of luck! I spent most of my twenties using all the cash I had on travelling. I don't regret it at all, but some of my friends showed me their retirement accounts recently and I'm definitely a little concerned. I'd love i

I think there's a fair few of us looking to do the same. The pandemic caused a huge shift in how I approach everything in life.

It's definitely not the norm, but I'm willing to bet it'll become more common especially after the pandemic. That said - it's not just part-time jobs I'm curating, but full-time contract positions too!

A few I'd like to keep to myself, but if you poke around it's obviously no secret that stack overflow contributes a fair bit. The code is some frankenstein monster of a few failed projects I've created over the years, but so

Thanks! And I feel you. Occasionally I've wanted to pick up some stuff part-time for some extra cash and finding it is few and far between. I created a mail-chimp subscription which I'll get up and running as soon as I figure out

Thanks! If you have any feedback on what to change/add/remove I'm happy to hear it!

I suspect a fair few of the short to long-term contract positions I see advertised are to cover someone's parental leave. Content though definitely. I tend to see more short-term/part-time content creation positions than I do eng

True enough, but a fair few require at least some commitment every day. For some that's not as easy of a commitment to make, but I totally see your point.

Hey all! I recently had some personal stuff which made it necessary for me to cut back on the hourly commitment I could make to work, but found it difficult to find contract, part-time, freelance (anything not full-time) jobs through tradit

Depending on what you need and your traffic, a simple $5 Digital Ocean droplet with a nginx reverse proxy in front of Django would do the trick. It'd still let you run sqlite, but Django's pretty powerful when you give it postgres

Exactly. A ton of Toronto devs I know have left for the US. The base salaries are higher, and the exchange rate only adds more.

Haha good point. I'll rewrite this. Thanks!

Hey this is a great idea. When I get a free chance I'll see if I can publish a report on it. Thanks!

Groups are a good idea, but my concern is how do I decide what ages fit in each group, could the categorization be different for different cultures Bang on about the 14 year olds believing it. I rejected any notion that I didn't know e

Thanks! I wanted to name it something similar but all the good domains were taken, so instead I settled for a veiled The Office reference. Trying to get contributions from older generations is tough, but would likely provide the best advice

Hey thanks for the feedback. The registration form is a pain, I implemented SSO/oAuth with Google a few days ago in the hopes that more people would register. Email and username is a good call, thanks. I had never thought about that ki

Hey thanks for the feedback - really appreciate it. I struggled with the idea of creating a page for every age. I eventually settled on the idea that people could take the platform anywhere they wanted to, whether it was passing generic adv
