I'm involved with a small business. When people come asking for a job we asking for a resume/letter of introduction. The vast majority of the time it never comes. This is simply our first filter.

Presumably these companies have a business plan they just don't have a BusinessPlan.pdf. As an investor I'd be pretty keen to know you've looked at the figures and that you understand the basics of accounting before I gave you a wad of cash. It's moot as I don't have a wad of cash but there ya go ...

Invigorating. I am one that got lost in all of the noise. Now 27 an just about to find my footing and get on track to be what I am suppose to be and that is "The One Which is Me". Since I was young I longed for the recognition that come to so many these days yet I have been chasing it in the wrong way. As you say her I really need to focus on making thing and get back to what really makes me happy which is studying what make enterprise business so successful and bringing back to the mom and pop that can barley turn on their own computer. I do this not to have the superiority complex, but to help those whom are lost in the riff of today and cannot find the way to the next stage and or the right person to actually want to help them and not just cash their check and go. thank you for helping to reset my mindset back where is needs to be .

Then you don't have a startup. All you have is some website.

Figure out how to make money from it, or don't waste your time. If it breaks even, you can just keep it running, but from my experience, sites require maintenance, and, depending on how much you make per hour, it can be pretty expensive to support something that doesn't pay back.
Hydroxatone
If you're not careful it vanishes quickly. It's been kind of lame. I've dodged this predicament so far. This is, by far, the best way to do this. I got a rebate on that. This was just a harbor from the storm. Indeed, that was the moral of the story. It's their month. Hydroxatone, More or less, isn't at all that compelling. In that case, I hope so. I found that I was entertained by that even if my hat's off to you.

The article looking good, if a bit fluffy, until it turned into an obvious advertisement for the author's upcoming political manifesto/book/whatchamacallit.
Funny, i've been meaning to finish a blog post on this exact same topic. I actually think the freelance revolution will be a reversing of the industrial revolution.

The industrial and neolithic revolutions brought the masses together to form towns and then large cities, where as I believe with the increase of freelancing and e-jobs, along with better remote working environments, people will start to question the high cost of living within a large city.
Well it's so good to hear someone say that faith should involve the weighing of evidence and all that. The next time I talk to an unreasonable Christian who doesn't like that I point out that their experience, like all the others, can be misconstrued as blind chance, can't be reproduced, and/or can't be falsified, I will just say that they don't know what faith really means and they are not a true Christian. That they are being unreasonable. That the way they use the word "faith" is different from the other majority 10% of Christians.

> Serious study, historical research, discussion, and reasoned, cordial disagreement
So I presume that using this method Christianity as a whole can begin to understand the true nature of the scripture and eventually coalesce into a single coherent religion? Instead of say, many many many different churches all believing things totally opposite of what the next does?

I am sorry for my incredulous tone but it's just so foreign to me that any group that says that the skeptical will be punished can also be intellectually honest. I'm glad that you and presumably many like you take faith to be something that must not be anti-reason. To me that is rare, but then again that might be biased by all of the crazies that seem to get lots of attention. And I'm not talking about the Harold Campings of the world, just the average politician who rejects science.
Thank you, I will have to watch that when I get the chance.

I'm not sure if Google understand their own freemium model. Isn't the idea to let people use your cloud service at a very low cost, in hopes that they'll scale up and pay more? I feel like there's a huge gap between free and paying $400 a month. The day that the app becomes popular is the day the developer will have to shut it down or get hit with large server bills.
Pushkar Fair India

Very interesting, but somewhat misleading, imho.

People who go their own way may well become leaders, simply because to go your own way you have to be decisive, and most people are indecisive, and in times of uncertainty they will look to people who are decisive to take the lead.

But that doesn't mean that the qualities listed are leadership qualities. I'd say that the ability to understand and empathise with people, to figure out what they want, the ability to motivate others to do their best, the ability to communicate convincingly, and the ability to make decisions under pressure - all those are way more important than the ones listed in the quote.

Of the list of leadership qualities:

> courage, endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, determination, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head even when things are going badly

I'd argue that only the last one is really a requirement for leadership. All the others make for a better leader, but they are not requirements.
I would say Jobs, Zuckerberg and Page fit that quote's profile nearly de facto.

Edit: However, I agree with your second statement. Though there's a wide gap between "leader" and whatever you would call the individuals I mentioned (yes, I'm trying to avoid terms such as "visionary").
Ask yourself why you'd take this opportunity. What do you hope to get out of it? If you can't find other work it sounds like a great deal. If you are hoping to get equity later and you'd be willing to risk it, maybe it is a good deal. If you need experience you'll get, that is worth something. If this is just about money, that sounds weak to me.
It sounds like you're trying to talk yourself into this. Consider other options. Have you been interviewing for other positions actively (sounds like no, devs are very in-demand)? Will your current employer counter-offer (though there's nothing to counter here except a ~67% decrease)?

Another thing to consider is whether you'll ever be subject to US taxes. Unless this is a non-elective deferral you could face stiff penalties:

If that were the case, wouldn't apps like google calendar get cancelled long time ago? I doubt the ads on google calendar are sufficient to sustain the number of users it has on a daily basis.
If you want to seriously consider this kind of cash back deal then you should look at the amount of money you're giving up as an exceptionally high risk investment.

What kind of a return would you want the upside to be for you to walk out right now and gamble 3 months of salary on a 25% chance of winning bet. Unless you've got significant wealth already then most measurements that take into account the diminishing returns of wealth will probably suggest a that you'll want the win to be at least 6 times that mount.

That's quite a lot of cash for a startup and it makes no sense to a startup that's worried about cashflow to make that kind of an offer when they could give out nice free equity.

Liabilities are much worse on a balance sheet than having employees with stock. Employees with stock in the company have an ongoing alignment with the company; employees who are owed cash are going to be slowly getting more irritated.

Actually it is properly closer to the industrial derevolution because it (and this going to sound marxists but really isn't what they envisioned) it put the tools of production back in to the hands of the workers.

A programmer working on a webapp has all the tools he needs (or may easily get them, often for free) to do the development on his computer. He has to ask nobody for permission and need not (even if he chooses to do so) work for somebody else.

Yes you still need hosting and coffee but those things are commodities (heck coffee is traded on the Chicago mercantile exchange) and the skilled tradesmen of the old needed copper, wood and tools too.

Interestingly enough this also means that the equalization between skilled and unskilled labor which the industrial revolution brought (the unskilled labors never had it better, compared to their contemporaries, than during and after the industrial revolution) has ended -- a person can no longer come out of school, work at the assembly line and expect a good solid middle-class job. At the same time those who take the time (and have the opportunity) to educate themselves can expect to make a pretty good life.

Some part of me feel a little sad that those big machines don't matter as much as they used to, but the rest of me is very happy they don't. I much prefer working with computers to standing in a factory.

You're either a cofounder or an employee, and this deal gives you the worst of both those roles (i.e. all the risk, none of the upside). If you really want to work at a startup with an interesting problem then I suggest humbly that you take a couple of months and see if you come up with any ideas on your own.

4 Words For Sucess
Once I saw that a package was set to be delivered the next day so I called UPS and told them that I wouldn't be home and that they should just drop it off at the plant for me to pick up. They said they couldn't do that until the delivery guy tried at least once.

It seems easy, but perhaps it isn't or at least it isn't cost effective enough. The delivery person seemingly isn't given a route everyday (or at least that's my guess) and for now it's too complex/expensive for UPS/FedEx to institute. Also, they are rushing so much and there are so many processes before your package is put into the brown truck that there are all kinds of timing issues. This Amazon idea may help.
Medical Transcription and Revenue Cycle Management
Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) plays a major role in yielding better compensation for the healthcare industry as a whole. For the hospitals it helps reducing errors improving efficiency by creating patient data accurately and on time. Today the entire process can be electronically managed with the help of EMR or other health information systems.
X11 has great multiple-monitor support, and has done for some time now. Unfortunately, many users are using video drivers from nVidia or ATi, and those vendors tend to have half-finished or sketchy implementations of less-mainstream features like multiple-monitor support. Like in so many things, if you've got Intel graphics, everything pretty much works out of the box.

You are taking a risk of only being paid 1/3rd of your market rate for the next 6 months.

After that, you may be without a job. This is your downside, and it's what you should plan for.

In a best case situation, after 6 months you will start gradually earning back the money you missed out on, + a raise.

This means the only upside for you is the raise you _may_ get after 6 months. You should decide for yourself if you're comfortable with the amount of risk you will be taking for this upside.

As an extra caveat: it seems to me like it would be very easy for the founders to claim "there is no capital". Especially considering you are in a foreign country and are likely to not have any insight into the company's financials, it will be extremely hard and costly for you to prove otherwise if things go sour.
Two ideas.

Agree with you on most points, d2, however I think you're confusing the terms "successful" and "profitable".

Successful in having their baby at least pay some bills is a milestone. Having it pay your bills as well is another, then having it pay for your future generations is yet another. Success is an arrival at a predefined milestone, may it be anything you so choose to predefine.

Not at all - I understand. One of the most important skills to have as a programmer is choosing the right tool for the right job. That's not to say Java can't do what you want, but you might find it's better designed for tackling large abstract problems than algorithmic and mathematical ones.

For example, check out this list of people who have completed 250 or more problems (only works if you're logged in): http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=scores&show=ve...

Correlation isn't causation and all that, but this shows you the tools that the people who finish all the problems want to use are, in order, C/C++, Python, Java, and Mathematica.

In the end, though, it's really a question of what your goal is. If you want to learn Java, then learn Java (but I would consider learning it using problems better suited to it). If you want to solve Project Euler problems, you'll have your work cut out for you just figuring out good algorithms; it's best to do it in the language that will give you the least trouble.

Incidentally, while Python automatically turns large numbers into digit arrays, if you stick with Java you might find its equivalent BigInteger class useful: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1,5.0/docs/api/java/math/B...

This sounds very shady. Wage equals appreciation, and their ability to pay you correlates strongly with the company's viability. At least one of those factors is not what it should be (probably both).

> Should highlight the fact that after six months, they plan to pay my lost wages subject to the availability of capital.

Another very bad sign, they're already looking for an easy way out. Chances are in six months you're either stuck with the exact same level you started with ("there just isn't any money, we swear!") or they'll just can you. Don't do this to yourself.

I'm not categorically advising people to stay away from bootstrapped startups, it can be fun. But I think if you do something like this, you should have a personal stake in the company (i.e. be a co-founder). Because if this goes south, as the majority of them do, at least you have been working on something that you own as opposed to being a wage slave for a few months.

You also implied you would be the only developer there. If this is in any way a web company, this is another very bad sign. If so, you'll probably end up doing most of the work there yourself.

Sorry to sound so pessimistic, but this just doesn't sound right. If they don't have any money they should make ANY financial promises to you, period. It doesn't feel like they are being completely honest (or realistic) about the risk involved.
Of course that would be a scam, no capital letters or warning signs needed - it's very basic math; 50,000 shares of unknown value X has unknown value - a 5th grader knows that.
Thanks for this measured response. I am not really looking for work, I am looking to work at an interesting problem with smart people and the experience of a startup.
Let's not forget that the industrial revolution was all about mass production. Read about adam smith and his essay on mass production of the pin for more details. I don't see this freelance revolution as anything close to mass production. Quite the opposite actually.

Yep, but one would expect Google being able to do better and get it work for lower cost at their scale and level of expertise, which is raising the doubt among developers.
Given the catastrophic nature of being without a cert and the relative low cost of those, it's not hard to believe that they maintain a backup certificate, ready to switch in at a moments notice.

Yay, you and she have different definitions of “leader”.† So what?

† You’re talking about people in charge of organizations, whereas she is talking about people who come up with new ideas, new inventions. These are very different sorts of leadership. Lorenzo de’ Medici vs. Machiavelli, or some university department chair vs. Darwin, or Steve Ballmer vs. Don Knuth, &c. Sometimes these qualities overlap, as in Caesar, say, or Steve Jobs.

Also, decisiveness is not the primary factor: there are plenty of decisive people who never possess anything like the “leadership” she’s talking about.
