I agree completely with this article; as the son of a contractor, I've heard countless stories about how city regulations, without exception, cause good business practices to become frustrating.

I'm part of a small grant writing consulting firm, and the California Franchise Tax Board, along with New York State as a whole, both generate special hatred in my heart.

With any luck everyone in my firm will be out of CA and NYC within a year or so. Austin and Nashville are on the list of potential places to go.
> Not only is it frustrating, but even in principle such regulations are definitely overstepping the bounds of government; no government should regulate how a business should operate. The market will decide that.

"The market" was happy with sweatshops, child labor, and frequent industrial accidents, among other abuses. No thanks.
About that…

Is your jurisdiction in the United States? If so, that's not true. You may automatically have your license revoked if you refuse a breathalyzer and a field sobriety test. But that's different than committing a felony. Your penalties may be harsher if you are eventually be found guilty of DUI without the breathalyzer evidence, but that is not being charged with a felony.

You absolutely have the 5th Amendment right to not incriminate yourself in every jurisdiction of the US. There are automatic consequences to refusing a breathalyzer (losing ones license), but they have nothing to do with being charged with a crime, much less a felony.
It does do that, but long experience has taught us that HN is better when titles don't vent feelings of frustration.

That doesn't mean that we don't share the feeling. I've felt the same way about tech job interviews for years, and one of my life goals is never to endure one again, at either end.

I've been manually merging a set of Password-Safe-format password files (one for each of my many computers) and I've been thinking about alternatives for a long while. I was actually thinking about how I could combine encrypted files with Git to get history and painless merging – I'm glad to know that someone else had the same ideas!

Yes, hiring is ridiculous at big tech companies that everybody wants to work for. Asking a ton of CS questions is justified if the job is actually CS heavy, but most front end jobs aren't. The dentist analogy is spot on.

My recommendation is to apply to smaller, lesser known companies. Much much less bullshit and time wasting. There are enough jobs out there that you don't have to deal with this bullshit.

Time spent on learning extraneous knowledge solely for the purpose of passing interviews for jobs that don't actually utilize such knowledge is a massive waste of society's resources.
This is exactly how I feel as a small business owner. The total amount of tax paid is paltry; I could afford to pay more (and indeed I generally vote along liberal lines). But the constant nagging, begging, and hands out from 20+ different government departments for money and my time while providing absolutely terrible customer service in return... I can easily see why small business owners vote Republican, even if that won't even solve the problem.

Did he say that this should immediately qualify him for any job? No, his point was that although he has real-world projects used by hundreds of devs, this gives him barely any credence at all in interviews. Is it so "entitled" for him to expect that his work should speak on some of his behalf?

If there are no regulations preventing it, a business will externalize¹ all its costs to be paid by the whole of society instead of the costs being paid by the business itself. Society naturally has an incentive to not allow any and all parties to impose costs on it, so regulations are created which disallow externalizing costs. In the long run, having regulations is cheaper for a company than having all other companies in existence heaping externalized costs on it — this is why we live in a society instead of a jungle.

Good, it should be harder for SpaceX and other completely private entities to go since space is identified as a public Common (see my comment above).

Its not sour grapes. When Neil Armstrong went to the moon it was for all Americans and all of Humanity. During the space shuttle missions there was a public effort to try to select a broad representation of cultures, backgrounds, educations, nationalities etc to be astronauts.

However, if the only ultra rich get to go, which it sounds like the case since that would be the only way to fund a private mission, why should everyone left be ok with it? Why should the richest people in the world, most who have had a incredibly large role in environmentally destroying the ONLY planet all of humanity can live on, just leave everyone else to clean up the mess? It would be the ultimate FU to the rest of the 99.9% of humanity.

I was expecting some real wisdom in this story, but I don't think this qualifies him as a technical leader in any way. I don't even think this needed the cargo-cult-y "leaving the room and coming back with a paper that changes everyone's mind." Couldn't he have just asked for a plan? And the ROI? That seems like management 101.

I have no love for him, but he is a genius. This story doesn't do him any justice (nor is the paper particularly compelling).
I mean, OK, yes, regulation costs money. So? "It costs money" is not, in and of itself, a reason not to do something.

If Apple had vast majority of market share, pre-installed iTunes, integrated iTunes functionality throughout the OS so that it had more intuitive prominence than other competing services, then yes, that would be close to the definition of antitrust as I understand it (using dominant control in one market to create or maintain dominant control in a second market). This is what Microsoft was penalized for, appropriately, with Windows and the browser market.

Sorry, didn't want to come off too harsh. I've gone down the bootstrapping route before and it's very, very hit and miss. Actually mostly miss.

The skills required to build a product or service people will pay you a livable wage for are not the same as those needed to write an open-source library. I've seen people with terrible coding skills make successful products with a "Rails for Dummies" book on their lap as they go (they hired pros later to clean up the mess), and I've seen excellent coders flounder with terrible ideas and business execution.

Personally I'd love to jump off the hiring hamster wheel, but realistically - outside of consulting (which has its own share of nightmares) - I don't see that happening even if I do come up with the perfect idea in the shower tomorrow.

It's hard to give specific pricing advice without any information about your product, customer, competition or goals.

Try to figure out how much benefit the company thinks it would derive from your product. That's the absolute ceiling of what you can charge. If the company can earn an extra $1,000 by using it, it's not going to pay $5,000.

Now think how much the company is currently spending to deal with the problem (labor costs, software licenses, etc). This might be a good estimate of the floor for how much you can charge.

It's hard to say without more information, but you'll probably want to think about pricing somewhere in between the ceiling and the floor.

The lower your price, the higher the ROI you can demonstrate and the more likely the sale (usually). Of course, if you price too low, it can make you look non-credible and scuttle a deal. I mean, whom would you rather trust, a neurosurgeon that charges $40,000 per operation or one who charges for $8 per operation?

Unfortunately, I suspect that you've anchored your prices low with the free, $5 and $9 tiers. As such, they'll probably balk at a high price for the app.

You'll need to break your customer's mindset and get him to understand that this new version is delivering a lot more value than your existing plans.

Better yet, you might want to see what you can do to look like you're not even selling something that's at all like your other plans.

Focus on selling more than just the software. Support, updates and guarantees are all things that people pay for.

One key piece of advice I have is to think this through. Supporting one unique customer with a unique product version might cost you a lot more (in terms of time and aggravation) than it is worth. Think about how likely you are to sell similar "private things" to other firms (and what other benefits you might receive from this specific sale) before you decide that it's worth selling in the first place.

BTW, here's a book I wrote about pricing software: http://taprun.com/pricing/

But the people "on UBI" will be everyone. It seems like you're thinking of "the people on UBI" as only those who don't have a steady job, live at their parent's house, etc.

I think of the average person I know, who works, has hobbies, who might have a side business, play a sport, participate in local theater, volunteer at a religious institution or charity, belong to a club, etc. Those people will also be "on UBI".

I think, if they didn't have to work full time (or more), they would still be 'productive' members of society, engaging /even more/ in all those things they are already doing when they aren't working. They might continue working full-time, or part time, or on weekends, or take contracting gigs. They might be more apt to quit, or at least speak up, when a workplace is mis-managed, because the downside isn't as painful as just hanging in there. In that case, a truly bad workplace will see that fact more accurately reflected in turnover.

I don't have a problem with people who aren't working on UBI. They probably already get some government benefits; UBI doesn't change that or enable them any more than what we have now.

What UBI offers in addition, is that those productive, self-motivating people would have the freedom for self-direction, instead of stuff they have to do to pay the rent. I would rather subsidize them and get the people who could use their physics or mathematics PhD instead of slinging frappucinos.

As a programmer, I know a number of people who would probably devote a major chunk of time to their startup or open source project rather than nudge layouts on corporate pages, if they didn't have to. They would be doing it already if they didn't put their income and health insurance in jeopardy.

If the cost of that is to allow a few people to sit on the couch more comfortably, so be it.
Well I will most certainly agree there is "publicly accessible" source, which is essentially what Microsoft, Facebook, and the likes have, where you can view the code, but getting a pull request accepted requires signing a CLA (with varying levels of avarice) and conforming to the goals of the organization, rather than the project. (Actually I will defend facebook by saying their CLA is not that egregious, and according to most, the version of react that is open sourced is actually different than the version they use internally), but calling that "Open Source Software" is disingenuous at best.

Maybe? There's always an "ES Next" in the evergreen world. There's always some feature you might want to use today that a build tool makes accessible that otherwise you'd wait months/years for browser support to "catch up". The goal posts will keep moving, especially now that TC39 is working on an "agile" yearly spec release cycle.

Many places (especially in Silicon valley) restrict the height of buildings, and the number of apartments, etc. When you can't build up, you have to build out.
Super light weight as it focuses only on the model/view layers, the syntax is a breeze to learn, considerably faster than Angular in tests, and no dirty checking! I was looking for something lightweight, and unopinionated. Found VueJS, and I've used it for the past four projects.

https://vuejs.org/guide/comparison.html
Sure. I wanted to build a frame for loading things in my facility (don't want to disclose too much, but I work in sports science). I took plans to the local office and someone there said "Can't have anything load-bearing from the ceiling otherwise you need permits X and Y."

Fair enough. Building codes being what they are, that's fine with me. I suggested a modified free-standing frame and took plans to the office. Same employee said: "Yep, that works. No load on the ceiling, no permit needed."

Perfect. Contacted the local welder and paid X tens of thousands of dollars to have it designed and built for me. Go back to the local bureaucratic office and say "Hey, thanks for the help. Here's some pictures, it turned out great."

Office now says: "Oh no. That's too tall. You need permit X, Y, and Z now. Estimated cost is now $10,000 for those permits (instead of $0)."

"What? I gave you the plans ahead of time, you approved them, and it had the height on there and everything."

"Yeah, I misread them apparently. Sorry. You still need the permits."

So, there you go. Just one of about 10 hassles I've had with city government here. I could go on and on, but ironically enough I have permits for something unrelated to fill out.
So many people have stopped their small scale chicken raising/egg production, like one family I know, after they learned "fox in the hen-house" isn't just a turn of phrase.

Both my parents grew up on farms, and we kept a big garden when I was growing up, so I know this very well, although reading the article that link collects for many months was serious sobering.
This is so true. In some places all IT sec have to say is "in theory it's possible" and people have to comply.

In theory lots of things are possible. We need to balance the risk.
I think a fair bit of regulation around employment has stepped up as unions have been weakened. Strong unions allowed people to band together to prevent unfair working conditions, but since the unions were dependent fundamentally on the business, they had to keep in mind real business requirements in their asks. Governments trying to protect workers from unfair situations don't have the give and take of collective bargaining.

I feel like most businesses would probably prefer to pay workers more because of collective bargaining and worry less about compliance, but a variety of legal and social changes keep collective bargaining from happening. Unions in California were criticized in a recent forbes opinion piece I read for wanting to exempt union run shops from the minimum wage, but frankly, that seems like a sensible position to take.

Unfortunately most advocates of the free market seem to hate unions, so any advantage collective bargaining might have over government regulation in terms of giving employees a fair deal while keeping regulatory costs low gets downplayed.

edit: I put a space between any and advantage to fix a typo.
I'd imagine that Scalia would have argued in response that the legal system provides for enough failsafes, since that individual wasn't actually executed.

Approach #1 sounds like many that of existing recruiting firms. Until you achieve scale, you will be influenced by the same incentives that haunt this industry.

Approach #2 is more interesting. You're basically acting an "agent" for a job seeker. It's an idea I've seen discussed a fair amount (including on this site), but I don't know of anyone who's succeeded at it at scale.
