Are there other examples of commodities that turned into investments? Tulips? Is that how all many bubbles form?

Search for church content management system companies, etc and apply for jobs on their dev teams. You would have valuable product insights.

If you match 40% of a job posting, you should apply. Those requirements are there as an ideal, not actual requirements.

You could do a lot worse than to choose Ruby on Rails.

I think he’s saying the owner will comp him deliveries. Not pay him back.

Wouldn't you expect a poor level of diversification in a stock portfolio based on corruption? They aren't dollar cost averaging and diversifying. They're doing the exact opposite to maximize the trade.

I'd love to talk to companies that are looking for a Sr. Engineer that has spent the last 6 years writing ruby on rails code. Currently work in a healthy work environment that focuses on code quality, having tests, and practicing agile principles to build software that works for our customers. I'd like to work in a customer focused environment.

Depending on the complexity of the ecosystem and the experience of the developer 2 weeks to 1 month might not be enough time. You'd also want to be worried about the code slinger that just starts throwing code at a problem and looks like a rockstar in the first couple months, but by month 6 has ground to a halt because they can't change the code they wrote a few months ago.

What do you want to have happen with this post?

I don't see why it couldn't be done by almost anyone given that they live close enough to work. Anything less than 10 miles is doable assuming you have a good route.

I've cycled through winters with wind chill in the -15F range and up to a half foot of snow on the ground. So, it is more than doable to do in both those cities.

Yeah. I think you need a corporate account though. Do you have metrics in place to see if you can improve performance? Have you played with dyno resizing based on load or time?

Have you worked with Heroku to lower your bill?

You've already answered your question. Be someone that does non-f500 for a decade, then slowly introduce the f500 features and in a decade you'll be where you want to be.

You should give up now. You're smart enough to program, but you're getting in your head too much and until you fix that it won't happen.

Just go along with it. It's up to them to figure out where to place you in the company.

> If a company wants to try me out, I'm more than willing to do a contract to perm, but my hourly rate is going to be enough to cover self employment taxes, make up for not getting paid for time off and at least two or three weeks between employment.

What does that number look like? 10k a week?

As an experiment, I was able to do this in under 3 minutes with ruby. I'd say I'm an average programmer.

Why do you say this?

I understand your suspicion, however, I find it odd that the author couldn't code AND recorded a video discussing his code. It seems like he'd hide it away if he couldn't code.

Can you provide a source for this?

What do you mean by life times?

When you say these countries are doing it, who inside these countries? What organizations or political groups are doing this?

Of course there are biological limits that training can’t surmount.

My point, more broadly, is that the idea that, “I can’t do that....genetics!” is misplaced defeatism.

I agree, I was trying to be generous.

Do you really believe this?

Genetics help, sure. But it is just potential. Can you provide an example where one person was so genetically talented that they didn’t train and still were competitive at some semi-professional level?

Have you tried blogging and pushing those results off the first page. Sign up for every social media account you can with your real name and location and then create little snippets to post to them to push everything down.

If you’re having issues getting hired, lack of skills is not your problem. Anyone that takes you up on this offer is exploiting you and don’t expect to be respected when co workers find out your arrangement.

Just bill 50 to 100 percent up front.
