Unless I'm missing something, it shouldn't really be "redis or MongoDb". More like, MongDB vs PostgreSQL vs MySQL. Redis is usually used for caching and scaling that DB's have a hard[er] time with. Not as a primary

It's great to see such in-depth answers here. I simply use some cheap skull candy earbuds. The important thing to me is earbuds. They almost never leak sound, and can easily drown out surrounding noise at mid-volume.

This sounds like great advice. Agreed on the "selling from a position of ...strength". Being able to point to a continually increasing MRR is huge. If I, as a potential buyer, see a decline in MRR [and customers], I'm going t

I'm using Knockout JS along with a micro hash-tag routing framework for my SPA. Couldn't be happier. Knockout JS is mature, and doesn't change. Yet there's still PR's that fix things here and there. JS frameworks th

Cold emailing and calling doesn't work for _me_. I'm terrible at cold calling. - Go to events, meetups, and conferences for the topic. - Connect via LinkedIn to persons of interest. - Network, network, network.

Having a requirement for knowing utility libraries. i.e. jQuery, underscore.js, MooTools, etc. I understand requiring frameworks (i.e. Anguar, React), but jQuery? Come on.

Yes, well, to some degree. The best you can do is minify it. I'm more concerned with competitors copying designs, and witty UX concepts than actual JS code. This you can put obstacles in front of by making some things only available po

1) Is this a cloud/online product, or does it require desktop installation? 2) I see it mentioning the a Preview is available, but I can seem to find it on my Office 365 apps panel (I'm a Business Premium account/user).

For those looking to find such a job, I'd recommend going independent. Though I usually work 40+ hours a week, given my current client base and relationships, I could easily setup the contract to be such that I work for <= 20hrs a w
