I love this question, but I would like to extend it a bit. Even though the body of the question the OP asked is about software dev specifically, how do you learn other non-software…

I have a very small company and we all work from home. I am trying to setup a seamless backup solution for all of our machines. I am going to use Dropbox Pro to sync all of our imp…

Are there dos and don'ts when it comes to approaching someone to buy their business? Especially businesses that are going well and growing organically and the owner/founder is comf…

As a software developer, I know how time consuming all aspects of project management on freelance projects can be. From creating the initial Scope of Work to ongoing managing clien…

When you say handle sales, do you mean handle product development for each project that you have landed? So basically an account manager? Or do you mean someone that goes and lines…

Lol.....that's why I asked for clarity, because I didn't want to assume :)

Partially a cop-out. All "lifetime access to" responses, aren't realistic responses.

Care to expound on this further?

Definitely a copout :) Can you explain a bit more....do you have a way of gathering those leads now? A way that can potentially be automated?

Hi WingH, Can you update your profile with contact info, for anyone that would like to contact you about potentially providing any of the above. Thanks.

What service have you always wanted someone to provide, product have you always wanted someone to build, skill you have always wanted someone to teach you, that you would pay $10,0…

I am a Ruby & Rails developer. I am starting a newsletter that focuses just on refactoring. The idea is to get a walk through from the developer that refactored the code, so we can…

I see in a lot of threads that people talk about "many companies that do third-party fulfillment". As someone actively in the market for such services, can anyone provide some link…

I literally lolled at this comment. I assume this is sarcasm...just want to verify :)

I think one of the biggest points being missed here is that Uber may very well be an iceberg. Meaning moving people is literally just the tip, but to get to the rest you have to su…

Yeh this is exactly the problem I am trying to solve. Not quite sure how to do that though, and if it is even possible.

Not sure if Upwork does it, but Upwork is the antithesis of the type of network that I am interested in building. The projects you get are usually bottom of the barrel. I have no i…

As a freelance developer, I deal with the typical feast & famine problem of projects. Some times during the year, I get lots of project requests and other times I get none. When I …

I hear you. The term 'spamming' is quite subjective. Either way, the fact of the matter is sending cold emails is actually a powerful way to build sales -- there is a simple reason…

I appreciate the fact that you guys made product decisions, but this statement was a little red-flag to me: > For instance, a startup of 3 would not need to send 500 emails a day, …

Yes, same here. I was surprised actually. I do usually see this in some FOSS projects, but never in a commercial project. It was actually quite refreshing.

Octopress + Github Pages + CloudFlare = Free, Stable that can handle a good amount of traffic.

Yeh I think everybody is saying that if you are already hosting the source on GH, there is no need to host the static files on S3 -- you may as well just host it on GH:pages, becau…
