To us, top tier doesn't solely mean "best at technical skills". It's also composed of great communicator, professional presentation, people person, etc. You need to be good at what you do but that's only part of what we consider a quality

We actually do all 3 of these things at matchist ( http://matchist.com/talent ). Not because we only deal with scummy clients or developers, but because it makes both sides feel comfortable and then they can simply concentrate on the proje

This is one of the main motivations behind my new startup matchist ( http://matchist.com/talent ). Working to help developers never have to see these kinds of requests again.

Random observation: You're "We're helping" counter currently shows 1,444,500 and counting. I clocked it increasing at approximately 16/second. That would mean it would hit 1,382,400 in a day. Which means it just started yesterday? Or do

I love this site idea. As a freelance web developer in the past, I experienced first hand the world of these types of clients. I think a site like this is a great way to address the needs of this type of client.

You and me both! I love the idea of Uber, but I can never seem to justify paying the insane extra expense when I can easily take the alternatives for much cheaper. Then again, I guess I'm not super rich.

This is exactly why I decided to use a PaaS for matchist ( http://matchist.com/talent ) rather than dealing with our own dedicated or VPS or cloud. We use Pagoda Box and love it. For the stage we're in, it's great. I can spend my time itera

When our new startup matchist ( http://matchist.com/talent ) was featured on the home page a few months ago, we saw the usual spike in traffic. But more importantly, we received a ton of useful feedback (both positive and negative), and th

So true. I love Micah. I think so many of us forget what truly matters in life. Our families, our friends, our experiences and memories with them, and - (just now, my little guy called me upstairs to give him one last hug before bed) - all

Amen brother. To me, the key is right here: "My hunch is that the people who quoted much lower estimates and timeframes were shooting for the development work." Firms/individuals/groups that quote dirt cheap prices are probably either a) de

How many average Facebook users do you think understand that? The Hacker News crowd is generally very technically savvy and educated in these sorts of things. But Joe Schmoe user on Facebook? He's definitely going to think Johnny liked the

I agree that the online resources for freelance developers can be improved. That's exactly why I'm building matchist ( http://matchist.com/talent - for US based developers only at the moment). In our experience, communication is huge. Cli

"What this change does do is it brings us into a profitable situation.” In the same article, we find out they were founded in 2001 and bought by eBay in 2007. In 2009, the original founder buys the company back and runs into problems. And

I love the idea but I'm skeptical about the ability to scale. I do think grocery shopping is definitely in need of a large dose of increased efficiency. It dawned on me last time I went grocery shopping with my wife and son just how much t

I find it very interesting how so many people commenting here are shouting "This is so stupid! It's so EASY to setup a mailing list, I can do it in 2 seconds! Even a monkey could setup a freakin' Google Groups list!" Seems to me they don't
