Thanks! I'll check it out.

Hey all. Joshua Here. I run a small dev agency, and I am looking for materials on how to do it right for fun and profit along with level up our game. I like listening to stuff and …

My personal address isn't my business address. They are different. Mixing the two, while seemingly innocuous, actually can mean opening myself up to liability issues or a good argu…

This is the perfect reason for having a true separation of personal / biz addresses and the reason I went for the UPS box in the first place. Business is business and home is home.…

The separation of personal and biz addresses is an important concept in owning a business. Not only for privacy, but for proving the biz is a separate entity and such. This is prob…

They don't even really specify this in their link in the email sent, but I am getting this error when going to my dashboard now: Invalid address. Your business address must be a va…

Adding a comment here in case anyone else is looking for a solution to save paying the difference. It appears that if you continue to use Stripe, but simply make payment links usin…

Yeah. I could see that. It isn't dire, but how much is too much to pay over a period of time? How much do they really need to run a solution that has been feature complete forever …

Definitely not. Don't get me wrong. Stripe is a pretty good product, but it isn't "that" good, especially for SasS that is essentially feature complete and for my use case.

Long story short, I've used Stripe since June 2022. We are a small agency business, and we probably do anywhere between 10 - 15k in revenue per month. I really just use Stripe as a…

They did indeed use those things in their own setup. Whether that is good or bad is a matter of opinion, but I think they were trying to provide a realistic challenge into the work…

I think it keeps what is good about React and ditches what is bad. It is familiar enough to pick up if you’ve done any component and hook based React. I think it probably serves as…

I worked on a simple company idea chatbot style app as a take home test for a startup I was hoping to contract with. They asked me to use LangChain and SolidStart JS. No biggie it …

You really don't have to put you or your family at risk to have a profitable business that is a benefit to you and the people around you. You also don't have to work long hours or …

Yes. I am not sure I have ran into this problem in a super major way before, but I remember not being able to do some things at previous gigs. I could not imagine having to ask to …

I've been working this one out in my head, but I think that the above is generally a good indication of the quality of the code / project docs and thoughtfulness with on-boarding a…

I think a good tech one that is a bit opinionated is: Does a project(s) build, and run (fully, without problems) in 5 or less steps?

This is a great take and a good set of questions. I totally agree on being more concrete and specific to get, at least, closer to the responses you are looking for. I feel like I h…

I agree. There really needs to be a team first sort of culture to produce the best outcome of giving individual members more say. It is probably hard to ensure that always happens,…

No kidding. I feel like this happens a lot. It is nice to have both individual and team goals and hopefully they also align in a few ways.

Not necessarily. I think sometimes those committees are composed of people who never will work with a perspective employee. That isn't bad, but I think a team should have its on su…

I think this is generally a good thing. Teams should make decisions together, but I could see the above point as a downside of that if taken to its max. I think that decisions shou…

Yes. It is probably a rare thing, but some companies that I know of actually pay overtime willingly (to a degree) to get more good work done. I think the tradition thoughts that a …

I could see that. I guess a better way to say it is just to pay attention to their overall body language.
