I would get a MBair or the last gen MBpro that is still for sale, I can't use any other track pads for starters and for development I love OSX. I plan to get another MBair or maybe the new MBpro without the touch bar. I might go for th

To build a real audience I would shy away from adwords and giveaways. Focus on publishing good content often instead that will get people signed up who are truly interested. Depending on the audience, spend time answering questions in discu

Converting a large excel file into a format for their new inventory system is valuable to them. But it might not be that complicated for most developers. They would probably agree to a fixed fee more easily than a higher hourly rate. There

We ran in to this on a project recently involving line item currency calculations that were coming up off by pennies vs what the API was calculating. We were directed to use HALF_UP rounding to two decimal places for each calculation. http

The best work is going to be through contacts and your network. Upwork is competitive and rates are low. First try your contacts/network, you might not think you have connections but I expect someone you already know either needs or kn

Definitely speck on the YC video . . . I think accents are cool and you want to show off the whole team . . . be yourself and show off your domain expertise . . . don't even think about your accent, just speak clearly as you would for

y, if they are at a lower salary you would have to keep the price lower . . . maybe try an introductory price for those already interested at $9/mo and increase that to $19/mo after 30 days . . . and see if signups keep coming in.

I would expect speech therapists to want to pay for the app, speech therapy apps and apps for doctors in the states are usually pretty pricey. I wouldn't expect any medical office to balk at $9/mo . . . if anything you should rais

Double True, most clients aren't going to think about it. If you bring it up as a feature of your services that everything is well documented so another developer can pick up the project and run with it. Even bringing It up in a positi

That's why they call it work . . . (Lots of people work for a crummy rate, I think about it, it bothers me, do what you can to be a good employer and improve lives.) I know I'd like to pay everyone six figures but market rates app

It is fun . . . what's it built with. More maps, leader board, start a signup system so users log in to keep points/score, username etc. Invite friends to play on a map together. Add signups to an email list drip.co. Good luck, it

I've been thinking about starting a similar service based on requests from clients for various types of monitoring. Seems like there is lots of competition. And I'm not sure this is an aspirin or a vitamin. http://www.s

y, sounds like you are underpaid but depends on your skill set and what you're working on. I'm in the midwest and that's probably avg. web developer position around here but would expect NYC jobs to pay 2x that due to the cos
