Don't. It's not right is it? And, morals aside, if it became widespread knowledge, it could tarnish both your own and your company's brand. Are you funded? What would your VCs think? Focus on your business and your friendship

I love it :0) I tried grammarly, and typed in a remembered poem. It informed me that it had detected significant plagiarism. Edit: It's still not advice I would pay for, though.

I'm wondering as well! Been a UK-based API-level tech author for 10 years and in product marketing (and sales, even) before that. I've programmed as a hobby for 25 years, and love technology so much I'd like to spend the next

Similar story here. South Wales steel town -> Oxford (Engineering Science). Late 1970s. I'm certainly wealthier than my parents and home town peers (you can still - easily - buy a reasonable 4 bedroom house there for 100K) but the b

Color me flabbergasted. Props to these guys for launching an MVP and all that, but seriously - what a value proposition: "Why order online when you can get someone else to do that for you adding an undisclosed middleman fee?". Fir

Some of the early computer magazines often contained listings of games. I remember one where you were required to type in about 1000 lines of Basic data statements, liberally sprinkled with checksums. Finally, after a couple of days typing,

You're right. I get 10+ javascript developer jobs in my inbox every week from headhunters, yet my CV says I'm a tech writer who can merely read javascript.

If my business pays for a great programmer, I want that programmer's knowledge, experience and attitude to diffuse to the rest of my team (... not that I have a business, just sayin' :-). Much harder to do this if that great progr

"I have found very little written about the journey to $10k and the struggles it brings". I agree. First mention of customers: "We were seeing some interest and already had some nice early sign-ups (approximately 250 sites)&q

You don't need to think of any other term - 'greedy' is correct. London rates are London rates because the work is in London, with all the baggage that involves. Take a look at the job listings for non-London work.

The author just chose to look at the externalities - few passengers choose an airport because of the number of runways. They make their selection based on various criteria, many of which the author captured in this article. The number of ru

I know, even though they said they had fired and the cable had rewound, to draw the lander in closer. They've shut down media and comms until tomorrow at this point. I'm getting a bit worried now.
