Mint provides value and it's a trusted brand, so people feel okay about giving them access. I could potentially trust Mint but anything smaller and not based in the US definitely n…

This definitely is in the right direction, but leaves out a lot of very important things. I think of a senior developer as someone who is effective. Roughly that means: * Planning:…
