Yeah, that must be the case: a smart employer and demonstrably productive employee.

How did you get your employer to agree to 4-hour work days? The first half and one of your comment replies spoke to me deeply - especifically the part about having the feeling of never having done enough, haunts me everyday, but also pushes

Not OP, but I think it's because devs are slightly harder to sell to compared to non-devs. Also, the commission for a product less than $20 will be too low for anyone to put in any effort to promoting it. 5% of $20 is $1, meaning you w

I've had very similar experience with Angular 1.x where a lot of problems can be avoided by having a sensible styleguide/standard across the entire team. I've since moved to using React and couldn't be happier :)

I think what your question implies is this: "I learned how to write Javascript in a black box where I'm not solving real world problems, and instead just learned how to print static text." Programming, like anything, is a too

I can think of one guy who would definitely want this. Update your HN profile to show your email so I can try to introduce you to him; or you can email me with more details.

I believe 3 days is enough. A new marketing idea can be implemented in 3 days; a new UI mockup can be done in 3 days. To me, I'll be learning things, but to the founders they can actually benefit from my ideas or executions. It's free after

When I said 3 days, I meant 3 days only. I think it'll make the founders think about the most important things they need to improve on, which can also be handed to someone with little credibility, kind of similar to the idea of contributing

The point is not to only work on the technical aspect of the business - there's way more than just code to a startup/business.

But if I can help them with marketing, UI/UX or wireframing or anything, that'll not be a waste of time for both the companies and me

I should have asked for just one day only. It doesn't have to be technical. I think this is an easy way to get rejected (inspired by Jia's rejection therapy), rather than asking in person. I doubt people would give me access to anything imp

I agree. I'll do that to improve my programming and problem solving skills. But for skills to run a business, or more specifically a startup, I think helping one is the way to go. Thanks for your suggestion though :)

by samzhao 14y ago
Thanks a lot for your suggestion! I agree with you that this will help me in a long run for my programming skills. However, what I'm actually looking for is experience at running a business/startup.

Looks cool! I'll try to contribute.

I'd say, "Welcome aboard, young man!" Btw, I'm still a teenager, and that's what I wish startups would say to me when I apply to them :p P.S. I build things with HTML, CSS, Javascript and Rails, so if anyone's interested please feel free to

Thanks for your information. From my understanding, what you are saying is totally the case. It's just that the sales rep confused me by saying "the phone itself has some restrictions", which means there's probably some other locks/restrict
