It's certainly OK to ask. Think about what you are prepared to negotiate if the client seems inflexible. For example, does your fee really need to be paid upfront? Sometimes if you…

There's enough evidence that plastics leak harmful chemicals into our food that I don't want to eat anything that's been sitting in a plastic bag in warm water for hours on end. No…

Hey, well it was obviously the right way for you all at the time. I was just surprised because I haven't seen execs interviewed that way, but my experience is heavily skewed toward…

> We then set up interviews with Marc: four days of back-to-back 1:1 or 1:2 meetings with everyone on the team from 10a-6p, as well as a talk to the whole company. When the article…

I also take issue with the idea that "an active GitHub account should be enough for most programming jobs" but for different reasons. Good programmers do more than just 'programmin…

I wonder how this will fare compared to the efforts of the BCS (British Computer Society), who have tried to push 'certification' for years with their MBCS (Member of the British C…

This reminds me of working for a software tools company in the late 90's, selling IDEs and metrics tools to investment banks and telcos. One day, a potential customer called to ask…

Nice idea, and I would use this if you had a convincing portfolio. I'd suggest you add some work samples to the site.

Back up a level...do you really want to pay someone to watch the other person you paid to clean the house? Why not just hire a reliable cleaner that can work without supervision?
