Yeah, that must be the case: a smart employer and demonstrably productive employee.

Great response, thanks!

How did you get your employer to agree to 4-hour work days? The first half and one of your comment replies spoke to me deeply - especifically the part about having the feeling of n…

Not OP, but I think it's because devs are slightly harder to sell to compared to non-devs. Also, the commission for a product less than $20 will be too low for anyone to put in any…

I've had very similar experience with Angular 1.x where a lot of problems can be avoided by having a sensible styleguide/standard across the entire team. I've since moved to using …

I'm interested as well! Please add my email as well. Thanks!

I think what your question implies is this: "I learned how to write Javascript in a black box where I'm not solving real world problems, and instead just learned how to print stati…

I can think of one guy who would definitely want this. Update your HN profile to show your email so I can try to introduce you to him; or you can email me with more details.

But if I can help them with marketing, UI/UX or wireframing or anything, that'll not be a waste of time for both the companies and me

I should have asked for just one day only. It doesn't have to be technical. I think this is an easy way to get rejected (inspired by Jia's rejection therapy), rather than asking in…

I agree. I'll do that to improve my programming and problem solving skills. But for skills to run a business, or more specifically a startup, I think helping one is the way to go. …

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! I agree with you that this will help me in a long run for my programming skills. However, what I'm actually looking for is experience at running a…

Looks cool! I'll try to contribute.

Hey startup founders! I'd like to volunteer for your startup either in office or remotely for 3 days. I live in Vancouver Canada, and I'm currently a university student at SFU; so …

I'd say, "Welcome aboard, young man!" Btw, I'm still a teenager, and that's what I wish startups would say to me when I apply to them :p P.S. I build things with HTML, CSS, Javascr…
