I thought about it as well. However, at some point in the very close future, we will need an in-house team. So maybe having motivated development team right now is better than searching & managing someone of a short-term base.

wow! To summarize your ideas: the founders should prove that they are real leaders who know how to succeed in both tech and business part.

Follow-up question: how do you define if founders can do that? Is it how they talk (credibility is something hard to image without context)? Maybe they need talk about numbers & future plans?

I'm curious to understand, what is important to show in the job description and tell during the interview with the engineers.

Some side note: in our founding team we have both business and engineering expertise. We talk about this from the perspective "what we can teach you" but not from "look, we can deliver result".

so $35 yearly s a good deal, if you find there free and good name. I will not switch from our current $50 .io domain because it's cool.

and when we bought .io 2.5 years we spent several days looking for a cheaper option. For dev tool having some shitty website name or provider is suck

I had such idea firstly, but there is an issue with popular providers like ".com"

You can't find good free website names. So in our case, we took .io domain, which costs us $50/year. That's very expensive, but we have branded website name on .io

it's totally free for 1 year of usage. You will only be taken $1 dollar to secure your card, then it will be refunded.

nice deal for folks, who need .design domain for portfolio, design & development tools or blog.

After the year it will cost $35, which is still a nice deal. Hope, it will be useful for someone.

Happy to see Ukrainian companies there :)

thanks for sharing my list! We put there all useful articles we have during the last 2.5 years of running our startup. hope, it will help to other founders as well!

Age discrimination is a real thing. In the non-tech world, when you're 35+ AND you're living in Ukraine, you can struggle to find a job. I'm not sure if this applies to the engineering jobs here, because developers are always in demand (We have many big outsourcing companies, which hire like crazy).

But what I see, is that all candidates for our iOS job postings were around 20-27y.o. Honestly, I'm not sure if we would hire older developer to work in our team. Not being mean, just it's difficult to have a huge age difference in the team (we all around 22 -25 y.o., small startup team).

What do you think? Would you hire an "older" developer? Did you personally face such issue?

the future comes :)

Does it has an integration with smart homes? I mean, whether I can remotely switch off an iron, if I forgot.

I'd start with Swift :)

If I told it to my mother, that would be the worst disappointment in her life. In our culture, you must be married and have children (before 25 y.o). Otherwise, you are not normal and everybody around (parents, friends, acquaintances) will ask you stupid questions:

"when are planning to merry?" "when are planning to have children?" + long educational lecture on why it's so important. That's a disaster.

I remember a good post about Silicon Valley etiquette, which suggested startup founders to answer on emails within 24 hours. That's a good advice, but sometimes developing product is more important them answer on 101 email.
