Perhaps the next product launch is this awesome little stats dashboard you have.

Make it a personal goal dashboard for concurrent website visitors for one's own projects and follower count. Just as you have it. It's kinda like Venmo, except for one's own sites/projects/goals.

Personally think this is awesome onto itself. Just that current goal bar is a great feature. Subscribe to the goal. Once it's reached, subscribers get a note. "see you can do great things, Alice just completed her follower goal! Send a note and show some love :)"

One of the items on this website contains very personal information about an another person you dealt with. I don't want to assume this is violation of privacy. Perhaps you're on terms with them and they're public about it. But are they? Because if they're not, I believe you should remove it. (I'm speaking vaguely, because I don't want to repeat that bit of information here and make it more immortal).

If somebody tried to screw you then backed out of it and you have proof, seems fair game to post it online, complete with the scammer's real name and affiliation. It might not be tactically prudent since that person might sue you in retaliation, by you are squarely within your rights to do it if you want, no "violation of privacy" here.

I am not referring to the case where the CEO used his work. That is fair game for naming and shaming.

The information reflects on what are normally considered private details that are not limited to business interactions.

I can't wrap my head around why companies do this. If you find a competent programmer whose work is good enough to use, wouldn't your team be better off if you hire them full-time? That seems more efficient than interviewing 200 people every time you need some code written.

Pessimistic point: there a lof of competent programmers out there. So, why not to choose someone that you liked or someone who ready to work long hours, under stress, for minimum salary?

I mean the interviews are like 1 out 400 applications.

Still, seems like you move up. I'm over a decade in and still a shitty midlevel.

My dad never got promoted in 40 years of work. When I got my first promotion (to team lead) I had been working as a dev for over 15 years and I kinda felt like I had let him down
