It sounds like the issues may be deeper than equity. "The salary is not competitive" hints that you may not be happy with your compensation across the board. Don't look at equity any different than cash. It's a more comp

This is actually an annoyingly necessary part of running a freelance or service business.

I like the idea a lot -- I'm someone who listens to a lot of music, constantly gets music recommended by friends, and recommends music to friends. I also design/PM software. I just signed up and am very confused on what I can do.

Simple and authentic feel like they're the magic formula here. Deceptively difficult to balance. For personal, I'm trying my best to text people when they come to mind. I always appreciate when someone does that to me. For busines

Super clear analysis and presentation of the core problem in group messaging today. Your visuals made the post so easy to read. I’m not sure the conclusion applies for all cases. It may too easy to get lost in a thread behind an attachment.

I'd probably fall more under designer than developer, but I love Webflow: https://webflow.com/ Our marketing website cycles have gotten so much shorter with Webflow. Even though it's just replacing HTML/CSS&#

Head good things about the WorkPros. Wish the design was a bit better. How long have you had it and how do you like it? I'm surprised there isn't a modern/stylish chair that can compete with HM/Steelcase and hit the $400

Just went pretty deep in researching these... If you're not budget conscious, look at the Herman Miller Aeron, Steelcase Leap V2, Steelcase Gesture, or Humanscale Freedom. Budget, seems to be a serious crapshoot. Lots of people like th

Don't think of it as an argument. Think of it as debate, after which either you or the person you're debating with will learn something. Debate makes for progress and understanding, and we shouldn't be afraid of it. But I com

Congrats. They deserve it. Even though my company focuses on front-end dev, we still use webflow for our marketing website because it's that easy. They're by far the closest to achieving what Dreamweaver once set out to. Works b

Thank you. We will absolutely branch out, but not sure on timing or specific skillsets. Fixing what companies (Startups) and freelancers (React, React native, iOS, Android) are on Turtle lets us focus on our platform. We believe the infrast

I agree that if everyone vetted as extensively as you did, UpWork experiences would be more successful. But people don't, and it's unreasonable to assume the same vetting processes for 10 hours of work vs 10+ year careers (FT hire

Thanks for mentioning Turtle! Really appreciate it. (1) Great talent, (2) great customers, and (3) an easy to follow process (platform) are critical for making freelancing work. UpWork typically misses at least 2/3.

Upwork is ruining it for gig economy / freelancing / outsourcing. They create a race to the bottom and prioritize the client over fairness. Fiverr isn't much better. It's hard for any "we focus on everything" p

We deal with this all the time at Turtle, as all devs on our network are remote. I'm not sure that advertising is the most direct way. If you're fully remote but paying well and have interesting work, you should have an easier tim

The news is so behind actual crypto performance. Shocking, as it's all readily available. This is like the 10th time the news catches up to a surge only after there's actually been a quick drop (like today. BTC, ETH, LTC all down

Really cool concept but I think you need to really hone in your messaging and think about who is willing to pay. SaaS companies already pay for customer success / help -- if you can really offer help as low as 0.50 per minute, can&#x27
