PayPal do support recurring payments in Aus. We used it (briefly) before ditching it and going with Chargify. Unfortunately it is horrible to use for your customers. It is literally a "recurring payment" not a subscription. I know that soun

"Listen to your instincts". That should be the stock response to just about any question here on HN as you're absolutely correct. To me, it doesn't "feel" right. I've done the maths, and can see it is certainly more about profit than gettin

Unless this is a $20 a month cheapie app, the Customer acquisition process should begin before you've even started building. Otherwise, how do you know if anyone even wants your product? By now you should've already talked to potential clie

We're not looking, and we're in Australia :P However, in my previous role we hired a lot of grads and entry level developers. I was, in part, responsible for interviewing and hiring these grads. When you ask a grad to rate their skills out

I quit a job of 7 years with no plan of what to do next. My wife (but wasn't a wife yet) had a reasonable job, and we figured if ever there was a time to take a risk, that was it. For three years now, we've lived on the philosophy of "if we

I think this is probably fairly accurate. People will (generally) use whatever tool they're familiar with, regardless of whether it is actually better for the job or not. Therefore it makes sense that the person's background will be a fairl

Nup. He has most definitely stolen our site. I can tell this by checking google analytics. Before our analytics started getting junk traffic from the knock off site. We had a quite period of about 2 weeks. We generally only get AUS traffic,
