It's DHH, did you really expect anything other than smug superiority?

I'd like to just respond to the his specific points about hiring freelancers. 1. Only use freelancers that have been recommended by people you trust. Do an initial Skype chat befor…

All of it.

This. Buy DSC for whatever reason you want, but don't fool yourself into thinking you're saving money. You're not.

I know several Associates and Senior Associates at lobbying firms. A good state firm will run you $4-10k per month on a 1-year contract. Not sure about Federal but I'd imagine one …

I've used MP for all my projects and they really are fantastic. Disclaimer: FWIW, I have no professional relationship with MP, nor personal relationship with any employee.

An acquisition is a massive legal and financial undertaking. If it's not in the contract, it's not a promise. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.

By my cursory look at the first page of your comments, 60% are either down voted below 0 or contain multiple obscenities. Perhaps if you could form a coherent though that wasn't li…

It's cheaper for the consumer directly, but it costs a similar amount to produce (according to this article, which is again not cited anywhere). The difference comes in the governm…

There are a number of different review teams and Apple has outright told different things to different teams. I'm not an iOS dev and this is why.

And I think of that every time someone mentions ReCAPTCHA

I say this as someone who was a contract developer from 2008-2011 and survived solely on that income from 2009-2011. Don't ever use the word freelance. It implies that it's not you…
