I'd recommend Stripe. Braintree is also popular.

First, I'd really ask yourself if you need an office. * San Francisco Public Library has fast wifi, private meeting rooms, etc. I worked there for months after I got sick of giving Regus all my money. * WorkShop Cafe ( http:/&#x2F

In no particular order, I'd recommend reading: * Introduction to Algorithms, by Cormen et al (aka "CLRS") * Any of Robert Sedgewick's books on Algorithms ("Algorithms is C++", "Algorithms in Java", et

The more you do it, the less nervous you'll feel. I'd suggest lining up a series of low-stakes 'practice' interviews (10 or more of them). Real jobs at real companies, but the kind of jobs you don't particularly wan

If you need time, take time; there's really nothing wrong with that. That being said, you could always line-up your next gig, and push the start-date out 2 months; just to cover your bases.

Ad-tech is such an odd-space. Every glimpse I get of it is fascinating: huge scale at minuscule latency, hard engineering problems, super-high valuations and exits: and yet, if you told me the top 10 names in ad-tech, I probably wouldn&#x27

How about both? I worked full-time through most of my college years, as did many of my classmates. It's rough, but not impossible. Night classes, early morning classes, online classes, etc.

I did the first half of my career in the Bay Area (>10 years) and am finishing it in NYC. Been in startups in both places. Here are the biggest differences I've noticed since moving to NY: 1. Old money. In California, the VCs and An

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any single-provider that allays all concerns. Redundancy is the name of game. Any single-point-of-failure (in this case, a hosting company) is a bad idea. Pick 2 hosting solutions you like (I'

Sure, I get that. But even at 25 hours, you're grossing over 10k per month, no? If it's an issue of finding clients, that, in my experience, has little to do with the technology choice. I freelanced in PHP for over 5 years, and I

I'm a little confused. If you're working 40+ hours a week at $100/hour, you should be making > $200k per year gross. If you're only grossing $80k, then you're only working like 2 days a week. If that's the c

Again, you're wrong. And yes, you clearly have every intention of starting an argument. 1. If you'd simply read the link (which you clearly have not done), you'd understand that a k-value of 2.0 means that each customer refer

1. Read the link in my original comment. There's no reason values above 1 would be "too good", many people achieve it. If you're going to be pedantic, you should get your facts straight. 2. Nobody said it "has to be

This is a "voting philosophy" thread the day after the conventions end, and there isn't a single Trump or Hillary joke in here. I'm disappointed guys...

People don't need a reason to not do something. They'd need a reason to do it. So clearly the pitch above failed to give them a reason.

In my experience, there's usually two parts to this: 1. Initial external paid marketing (in the form of Adwords campaigns, email blasts, facebook ads, affiliate programs, etc). 2. Reworking the product until the "viral coefficient

I totally see what you're saying; and when I started freelancing I thought the same way. But the longer I played the game, the more I noticed an inverse correlation between the success of freelancers, and their perceived accessibility.

Yes, and no. Yes they can really help you organize larger projects easily. With variables, you only have to write things once. If you change your "black" from #000 to #1a1a1a, for example, that's one change instead of dozens.

I freelanced for about 5 years, and honestly almost nobody EVER went to my website. It's a referral driven business; you shine through the projects you build for other people. If clients are satisfied with your work, they'll sprea

It's a real problem, but so is promise-chain hell, and bound-event hell, and coroutine hell, and multithread hell, etc etc. It's not black and white, and no library is going to solve all the issues. A pragmatic JS engineer is goin

I don't think there's a good reason to have only one resume. Tailor your resume/cv to the position (or type of position) you're applying for. For certain jobs (for your dream job, for example), it may be worth writing a

When a friend wants to start a business with me, I just tell them my rule: I don't work with friends, and I don't make friends at work. I keep those two areas of my life completely separate. The benefits are: you can make whatever
