This is just false. The word is “взятка”.
If I were you I would not trust that report you’re referring to.
There isn't any info on the github page. Could you describe a bit how exactly does it organize the music?
I love how simple it is, but I have one wish -- when you enter an expense, by tapping the red (+) button, it would be nice if the text field was already selected, so I don't have to tap on it -- would save one extra step. Then, once you select the text field and enter an amount, the next problem is that the continue button (>) is hidden below the keyboard, so I need to somehow dismiss the keyboard in order to proceed. Would be cool if you could tap the keyboard "return", or "OK" button to proceed.
Otherwise really nice. I like the simplicity of it very much! Good job!
Technically the only downside for me in this tool would be having to sync manually betwen devices, as I'm constantly jumping between managing the list on my phone and on my laptop.
I found that Trello works pretty well for my own needs, having automatic sync and offline functionality.
Take Artsy for example: http://artsy.github.io/open-source/
Who knows, maybe they have a legit reason for the behavior. Or maybe they simply did not give it enough thought. Either way, the humane appreach, talking, could help here.
- Don't micromanage, let the developers do their job.
- Organize retrospectives regularly, with the right environment for people to express their good and bad feelings, and find solutions. If you've never done it before, the first few might feel a bit forced, but with experience they become smooth and invaluable.
- Stand up for your people. When your developer makes a stupid mistake, instead of sending him/her to be grilled by the client, do it yourself. Every developer is a human being, and fuck ups can happen to anyone. You'll gain tremendous respect and strong following if you show your understanding in the toughest situations.
Good developers know how to do their job. You're there to assit them, guide them, and reduce their stress when the going gets rough.
* Try to have job descriptions that make a little bit of sense. A lot of times it's just a dumb collection of somewhat related programming keywords, which just makes me cringe.
Don't:
* Don't tell me my rate should be fine, and waste my and company's time by proceeding to interview process, if my rate is way more than what the company can actually afford to pay.
* Don't mass spam people with job postings, because most of them time they are a bad match. E.g. don't send ASP.net position to an iOS developer.
I know this is a lot to ask, because recruiters are busy, and would rather send the same message to 10,000 developer than go through each profile individually and pick only the ones that really match the criteria for the job. I'm just pretty tired of receiving all the recriter spam about developer jobs that don't match my interests at all.
I'm currently working as a developer consultant, and get all my clients from my previous work history. I used to work in an agency, building apps for many different clients, so now I've got a lot of connections in the industry.
One of my good friends started his copywriting career on Upwork. First projects he did were extremely cheap, just getting some experience. However, he made sure he does the absolute best he can, with every project. So clients were happy and recommended him to other clients. My friend would be doubling his hourly rate pretty frequenly, and eventually stopped using Upwork altogether, because clients would contact him directly, by reference from his previous clients.
On the other hand, I know a person who's been copywriting on Upwork for seven years, and still has an hourly rate of 10 USD / hour, which is just ridiculous.
I move countries a lot, and so my group of friends changes with every move. So something I've realized is that if I have a group of friends who are into getting shit done, such as active enterpreneurs, then I tend to put a lot more time into my free-time projects as well. Conversely, when I have friends who like to spend time watching movies and drinking beer (nothing wrong with that, in moderation), then I tend to get a lot less done.
So the answer really depends on the circumstances.
