Congrats for million and for your work. Do you plan to write a blog post about the history behind million? Or did you write something already that I might have missed?

It all makes sense, thanks! And the week/day pricing seems like a good idea as well. I suppose it works best if your clients mostly have "more than a week long projects", though. Otherwise, they would have to pay your increas

I understand your point, but by doing this you will probably end up with nobody in the team caring about fixing bugs. That's a problem because sometimes fixing bugs brings more value than adding a new feature or optimizing something.

It was supposed to represent "how big" the feature was. As it's subjective and vague, the score was suggested by the engineer in charge of the feature and then (rapidly) approved by the team during daily meetings. But I guess

I worked in a company who measured productivity by attributing a score based on the Fibonacci scale. But they were doing this when the feature was done. By doing that, it was fairly easy to give a relevant score to each feature. Engineering

Interesting. So you're billing a week of elapsed time instead of working time, correct? If correct, do you find yourself working more or less than the usual working time in a day for freelancers during this week?

by sirobg 3y ago
To clarify: are you saying that most of the time you work more than you bill?

by sirobg 3y ago
Interesting. I've had this problem several times as well. Are you getting better at budgeting over time? Or are these 15-20% constant? Also, budgeting and defining project limits takes time. Do you manage to bill more to take this into

Do you mean "development" in the sense of "improvement of the algorithm" or in the sense of "development of its usage in the wild"?

You definitely got a point. I think this shows that the problem is mainly that we don't have a good solution to treat anxiety/depression and so on, yet. It is basically the conclusion of the NYT article shared above. Here is the p

You are most probably right. I was being too European/French centric. I think here, suing a medical professional is less common. At least generalists, because they don't perform surgeries so their misjudgments/mistakes are pr

So if I follow you here, Wikipedia is relatively accurate, correct? Then in your opinion, why are these medications so widely spread? Lack of alternative?
