We are a small start-up with the best product in the industry after about a year of development. We only have one full-time developer at the moment (me) and are looking to add another.
If you are looking for a position where you can have a big influence on the product this is it. You need to have experience on all levels of the stack and we'd really love someone who has a passion for simple but powerful UIs.
One thing you can do to decrease your taxes is form an S-Corp. That allows you to pay yourself a moderate salary of 50K a year on which you pay all the income taxes. The rest you make you can take out as dividends and only pay dividend taxes on it.
Get a good CPA before you try this; the IRS takes a very dim view of people doing this where the revenue is all based on a service that 1 person is offering.
Wow, I rarely read non-technical stories online. I usually just skim and move on but this one I read every word. What is it about this type of story that is so intriguing? I guess I just figured this type of thing only happens in movies.
This is definitely big news for PostgreSQL. When I had to set up replication for one of the projects I was working on I was highly dssapointed with all the solutions out there. I'm really excited that this will be built in and it looks like it will be really simple to get set up and working.
I think there is a lot that is lost by society's tendency to group similar people and people's natural tendency to seek out those who are similar to each other. When all the elderly people get put in retirement homes think of what is lost by those who could have benefited from the elderly person's years of experience and wisdom.
If you want to be a better entrepreneur, you are probably going to find an older entrepreneur who has some experience to teach you something, not one in your peers. Well, if you constantly surround yourself with those similar to you, how are you going to be challenged to grow as a person?
Edit: I am not trying to be snide, but you don’t actually have to talk to people to get an understanding of their viewpoint. Try reading some books from the far left and far right in the US and you will start to see how the other side thinks. Heck even tuning into Fox News, NPR, and the BBC in the same news cycle is useful.
The problem with using only books to try and understand what people who are disagree with you think is that they aren't interactive. While reading something you disagree with, you will probably find yourself thinking "Well, what about X", and if the book doesn't explicitly address that issue you will never know what they would respond. Even worse, people tend to assume that those who disagree with them don't have an answer to their objections, rather than that the book simply doesn't address them. If you are instead talking to a (reasonably knowledgeable) person, they will be able to at least give some sort of answer to your objections.
That's true. But it's more meaningful from the societal level than the personal. As an individual looking for interesting or useful things you don't already know it's usually far more efficient to read a few books than to spend the same amount of time getting to know people outside your circle.
Now if you want to learn something that a large number of people don't already know then goes treasure hunting. But, suggesting people need to talk with a wide range of people to grow as a person is simply untrue.
