You should really pay attention to the replies to your comment. I have 14 years of development experience and would never apply for this position because I can tell you right now that you're paying well below market. If that's NOT the case, I'd recommend you drop the "Entry/Mid" prefix and add what you're asking for: "Qualified". But expect to pay for it.

And this is why the model would not work. I don't believe that there are enough people who would find fulfillment in flipping burgers, unclogging toilets, roofing in AZ in July...

The article is spot on, and it's not on the topic of design... It's on business models for freelancers. And I bet he does pretty well! :)

I'd LOVE to find a CD @ 4%. And I'm also glad my mortgage rate is 3.75%.

I told my wife this past October that I'd stop taking side work by November and get our hard wood floors installed.

It's now January and my clients are continually agreeing to more and more absurd hourly rates, making it impossible to stop.

I completely agree. This resume is a great way to filter out companies looking for front end drones to sit in a cube and work in a bureaucracy.

He's identifying himself as fitting into a certain culture of organization. Some of the comments here are a perfect example! Anyone that criticizes this as "inefficient" or that it's "making getting the details difficult" is missing the point. He doesn't want a soul-dead HR minion to find his details.

Out of curiosity, what would you have edited out of this (to you point 'b')?

Is it just me or does this title seem misleading? It appears (from the article) that WordPress took down an article because of an abusive use of the DMCA and is legally required to do so...

"WordPress is legally required to respond to DMCA notices, but also instructed Hotham how to counterclaim, though one of the requirements was to "consent to local federal court jurisdiction, or if overseas, to an appropriate judicial body"."

And...

"In a statement, WordPress said it recognised that this was an abuse of the DMCA law.

"We think this was a case of abuse of the DMCA and we don't think that taking it down was the right result," said Paul Sieminski, general counsel for WordPress parent company Automattic. "It's censorship using the DMCA.""

> I wake up, shower, and drive to work early to have breakfast. I spend all day at work, go to the gym and have dinner, do a little bit more work and don't get home until 9 or 10 every night. My apartment's sole purpose has become a place for me to sleep.

I'm glad he's happy (right now), but this is exactly why I will never work for a company like Yahoo. I absolutely love what I do. And I protect it by ensuring I have healthy boundaries. No, Yahoo isn't "taking care" of you Ben. They're taking advantage.

I think I would agree when the profession is well defined to require such a qualification. For example, Doctors, Attorneys, CPA Accountants, all require certifications to hold a legitimate title. Engineers, Chefs, CEOs, etc do not require a degree or certification to be legitimately titled and qualified for those positions. I would never reject an engineering candidate on the sole basis of their degree.

That's great news! I appreciate it and I'll keep an eye out for those books.

I'm really glad to hear that! My 9 yr old daughter and I just finished going through this book on 1.4 and had a lot of fun. Do you happen to know if any of the projects will be different? I'd certainly buy a new copy again for additional projects.

Our team in finishing a project to refactor a custom form builder in our app (similar to WuFoo) and our struggles sound very similar. We are adding plugins like Backbone Relational to fight with issues, and fighting issues with the plugins... And in fact, our tech lead has actually forked Backbone (still unsure as to the exact reason). At any rate, we have shattered (what used to be) a ~1,000 line jQuery/JavaScript file into nearly 130 individual fragments of models, views, collections, templates, and helpers. Throw RequireJS into the mix... We can't be Doing It Right (TM), can we? Or are we, and I just don't get it?

[edit] spelling

Thanks! This gave me some great ideas for how I can use this method in my own deployment process. The only exception is that many times I need to sync content both downstream and upstream.

For example, in one case I want up-to-date content from production down into dev for an enhancement I'll work on. In another case I'll want to create content in dev before publishing on production. Most of the time I actually do have domain specific URLs in the content so I'll need to use a different method to migrate content between environments.

Great post!

Thank you!
