Ah yes, the day that so many unsupported apps stop working.

Thanks John, I definitely agree, especially if you don't have a huge network already built up to help you.

Content Weekly's my side project and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about it. I'd also love to get any feedback the community has for me.

As a founder in the mid-west I've seen how content marketing affects our side projects and day jobs and have spent years combing through all kinds of resources to try new tricks and tools that help actually get our content noticed. There's so secret ingredient to make content marketing effective, but I love figuring out what works and want to share that knowledge with others.

If you're interested in the techincal side of how I made the website, I built the website with Node.js, Bootstrap, Mailchimp, and Goodbits.io.

Re:Show HN: A daily aggregator of all remote jobs out there on Monday February 23, 2015 @11:07AM (#9095010)
The concept looks a lot like my site: https://jobety.com. The difference being that Jobety is also for fulltime / onsite positions.

There's companies out there that already have this info. Checkout http://kwikeesystems.com .
That's a really great idea. I think I will try to schedule a lot of meetings that day.
Don't you think he will get bored sitting in a chair next to me for 8 hours, staring at code that is way above his head? I fear he won't get much of that and since he's going into computer science I want to make it exciting for him.
How are things like this not copyright infringement?

Ask HN: My 16 year old brother is job shadowing me, what should I do with him?

I'm a UI Developer and my 16yr old brother is job shadowing me this week. The current project I'm working on uses backbone.js and I fear he will be lost if I try to explain it to him. He's had one semester of Java so far and knows HTML / CSS fairly well.I'm open to any suggestions on how I should fill my day with him.

I'd also add http://web-design-weekly.com and (my newsletter) http://jobety.com to the list.

Web design weekly definitely provides quality web design related content. I've also talked to the curator and he's a very nice guy which doesn't change the quality of the content, but does let you know your supporting a decent person.

My newsletter Jobety provides web design and dev related jobs once a week. I sort through a lot of different job boards and pick out what I consider to be the best ones.

I asked them to split the difference, and they came back with 55K, a 2K increase over the original offer.

I was thankfully able to get my current employer to give me a raise that has brought me up to what I think my skill set is worth, so I'll be sticking with my current job for now.

Thanks, I will definitely update the post with what happens.
Thanks for the response. I've actually got more than they required experience and my skill set is just what they are looking for. I feel I am worth at least 70K per year, but this is a tough job market and this is essentially the only position currently available in my town.

I just got a job offer for $17,000 less than I asked for, what should I do now?

Here's the breakdown. I asked for 70K a year and they offered me 53K per year and only 4 days of vacation for 2011. It seems like I have a chance to do some negotiating, but I have no idea how to go about it? I've never been in this type of situation before. According to indeed the average salary for my position is 76 K per year. Can any of you guys / girls with more career experience lend some...

Great app, thanks for sharing and good luck with it. One thing I noticed, is your about page says "It's less intrusive intrusive ...".
Re:Stop Calling Yourself a Rockstar and a Ninja on Tuesday August 10, 2010 @11:23AM (#1591756)
It's funny now these trends work. I remember the first time I heard a someone refer to themselves as a ninja and I thought it was so cool. It was this guy that had an ad on CSS Mania, if that tells you how long ago it was.

About 3-4 months ago I was sitting in class and heard my teacher talking about how all the kids want to be called rockstars and ninjas and I knew the trend was dead.
