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…

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++", "Alg…

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…

A list of things that DONT annoy developers will probably be shorter.

1. Twitter for Dolphins 2. Square for Triangles 3. Tinder for Forests 4. Uber for Poop

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 yo…

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…

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 clas…

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 movin…

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…

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 ch…

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 d…

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 …

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 str…

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. …

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 suc…

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 …

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 c…

"It's my understanding that the number of shares are a worthless number without knowing how many shares have been issued in total. Is this correct?" Yes, this is correct. "Is it re…
