Correct. It may be 20, 30 and 40 hrs a month with each for a flat fee. They receive detailed accounting of how that time was used and if they no over that time it's X per hour.
I'm a software developer and business consultant focusing exclusively on HTML5 applications. If you're an SMB or enterprise and looking for a new development partner, please contact me if you have end-to-end agency type project needs.
If you're a software company or agency looking for a contractor, I focus on modern Javascript / HTML5 single page applications and have limited availability in Q1 of next year. I'm looking for the following:
- Rich-client Javascript projects using Backbone or ExtJS
- HTML5 mobile projects using Sencha Touch or jQuery Mobile
Please email me at barry AT barrypeerless DOT com.
I am also looking for new collaborators to partner up with on projects as I am working near capacity. If you are a contractor that codes in any of the above libraries and / or codes Rails back-end please feel free to reach out.
Thanks! Hopefully I can offer some opportunities (as in jobs) through this newsletter as it grows. Feel free to share it with other people interested in 3D printing :)
I'm a full-stack developer based in NY looking for interesting rich-client Javascript projects using libraries like Backbone, Sencha Touch, or ExtJS as well as greenfield Ruby or NodeJS projects.
Please email me at barry[at]barrypeerless[dot]com. I look forward to connecting!

As you pointed out, (of-course?) celebrity is an enormous edge in building start-up traction in a social product offering, just as it is in most if not all other domains that require building external support to achieve a goal. An edge is just an edge though; it neither guarantees success for celebrities nor failures for non-celebrities. As someone that's struggled for a long time with how to seed a social network this seems pretty obvious to me and I agree it's a solution to the chicken-and-egg problem of kicking off a social site that you and I can't really compete with. We would have to win on product in a space where celebrity-type reach is not a requirement to creating value for the initial user base (i.e., a smaller chicken-and-egg problem vs. a larger one).
agreed - nice insights - but those spaces where celebrity status isn't a requirement are so small. even in enterprise software where you can succeed with unit sales, it is hard to sell without either prior sales or a reputation.
do you have any good areas where you think young entrepreneurs should be looking?
The sweet spot seems to be online, paid subscription-based services, priced moderately, bought with a credit card by individual professionals or small businesses.
I'm an experienced developer that is new to Rails and am looking for freelance work. I'm a self-starter but would like to do some work where I can benefit from working with someone (or a team) that has solid experience. I can work under-market for awhile. Please contact me if you're looking for support on your projects. bglenn09 at gmail dot com.
I agree with the comment about domain knowledge trumping technical knowledge here. It will only help for you to learn how to code, but you definitely do not need to do so. If you have your own capital or sources of funding, it would seem to me to be counterproductive to spend a lot of time becoming proficient in a craft when you could work with a partner on it. Your instinct to find a developer you can work with seems to me to be the correct direction to go in, while you spend some time familiarizing yourself with the development world.
I will follow your lead and downgrade to 30 days. Thank you.
