Be it for the general use cases or for the software team collaboration, time tracking and reporting features are always useful. As a user of both JIRA & Trello, I hope Trello soon gets all the time tracking and reporting love that JIRA team could add. Congrats and good luck!
I got lucky to get clients who either had preferred stack in mind when they reached out to me or had a existing product developed with various frameworks I mentioned where they needed technical input.
Re:Ask HN: What web framework do you use? Why did you choose it? on Wednesday December 28, 2016 @05:16AM (#13269633)
Used almost all of the PHP MVC frameworks across multiple projects:

Laravel (2015/16), Yii1/2 (2015-now), CakePHP (2015), Zend (2009), CodeIgniter (2009-Now), Symfony 1 (2008/9)

I had a roommate in college who every next morning after waking up talked of different interests/career options. This advice works for people who know what they are doing but, it's quite broad for people who have no clue what they are doing.

Travel Asia, find a place to settle down somewhere up in the Himalayas. Teach kids computing. Write more.

Re:Ask HN: How do you pay overseas freelancers? on Monday October 03, 2016 @11:20AM (#12628056)
Thanks for the reply.

Sounds like the process is smooth when they are working through a company but, how about paying individual contractors?

I've a personal account which is on a browser profile with ad blocking enabled and tracking disabled but on a different business profile I am keeping an eye on ads. I occasionally click them deliberately.
