If you're going to be moving around Europe then having a "full stack" skillset is going to be the most advantageous - 3 month type gigs for devops are going to be much harder to find than MEAN stack roles, especially if you

I agree that short breaks away from the "norm" is good, but this isn't really unique to startups - i'd wager that you could gain the same benefits by just taking a vacation than trying to relocate your startup + staff e

Not sure I can really agree with much in this article, which seems to contradict itself (get more focused by not doing A and B, instead use your spare time for X and Y) and ignores that fact that getting close to your target audience and un

Why not flip it and offer them your "standard NDA" with more reasonable terms? If they don't want to sign it due to having to incur legal expenses to check its all above board then they can't expect you to have to do the

Although i'm unsure of the legality, you might want to add hackintosh/OSX86 setups in there as well, matching the right hardware combos is a big part of getting it all setup and the latest configs change often

I'd look to freelance yourself out to London agencies on the proviso that the majority of work is to be done remotely and that you'll be around for kick off meetings etc. Once they trust you you'll be able to switch this to p

as others have said, earning 300-350 per day sounds great, but you need to factor in any "perks" your fulltime job has that contracting can't offer - pension contributions (start making your own) hardware (buy your own machin

I don't think this is a problem that can be solved via a technical solution to be honest. Personal recommendation can go a some way, but being able to vet developers for a specific role is something only the prospective employer can do. Som

Some of this is awfully bad advice - why is it useful to work directly with multiple designers/developers rather than a single point of contact/project manager? isn't this pushing the project management onto the clients side? As a developer

Really nice execution. I think that the core feature that is apparent when using the app (simplicity) is going to be one of the downsides of using it in a team based environment: 1)How do I know if someone on my team has completed a task, i
