In business life, one just has to deliver. There is a costumer, and the developer must comply with whatever demands the client may have.

  • 100% Remote! 15 Cool Companies That Are Virtual Only
    100% Remote! 15 Cool Companies that are virtual only No commute, no one stopping by your desk to ask you a “quick” question, no need to even change out of your pajamas in the morning if you don’t feel like it… what’s not to love about working from home? This hot perk is one of the most attractive benefits out there, and employers are taking note. As a result, an increasing number of companies allow employees to work from home on occasion, and some even hire for full-time remote positions. But a handful of companies are taking this concept to an entirely new level, with all of their employees working remotely. Dubbed “virtual companies” or “distributed companies,” these employers have no physical offices — instead, each worker telecommutes from whichever location they’re based out of. These companies invest in retreats, offsite team-building activities and conferences to build a sense of community and belonging. Sound like a dream come true? Good news: we’ve rounded up a list of fully remote companies that are hiring now. Apply today — these jobs won’t be open for long! Collage.com What They Do: Collage.com allows users to create and purchase customized photo collages in frames, on mugs, on blankets and more with their easy-to-use website. What Employees Say: “It's a small and very dynamic company, with smart people that are all working towards the same goal: customer satisfaction. Decisions are always data-driven (A/B testing, cost/ROI estimates on all projects), which greatly reduces the risks of politics.

    The Tim Ferriss Show Transcripts Episode 61: Matt Mullenweg Show notes and links at tim.blog/podcast Tim: Quick sound test. This is transition from tea to tequila. How do you feel about that decision? Matt: I'm pretty excited. Tim: And off we go. [Audio plays] Tim: Hello, boys and girls. This is Tim Ferriss. And welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferriss show, where I interview some of the world’s top performers, whether that be in investing, sports, entrepreneurship or otherwise; film, art, you name it to extract the tools and resources and habits and routines that you can use. And in this episode, I have the pleasure, in beautiful San Francisco, to interview and icon of tech. But you do not have to be involved in tech – or even understand tech – to get a lot out of this conversation. Matt Mullenweg is one of my close friends. He’s been named one of PC World’s top 50 on the web, Ink.com’s 30 under 30, and Business Week’s 25 Most Influential People on the Web. Why, you might ask, has he received all these accolades? Well, he’s a young guy but he is best known as a founding developer of WordPress, the open-source software that powers more than 22 percent of the entire web. It’s huge. He’s also the CEO of Automattic, which is valued at more than $1 billion and has a fully distributed team of hundreds of employees around the world. However, Matt started off as a barbecue shopping Texas boy.

  • Blogging for Engines
    BLOGGING FOR ENGINES Blogs under the Influence of Software-Engine Relations Name: Anne Helmond Student number: 0449458 E-mail: [email protected] Blog: http://www.annehelmond.nl Date: January 28, 2008 Supervisor: Geert Lovink Secondary reader: Richard Rogers Institution: University of Amsterdam Department: Media Studies (New Media) Keywords Blog Software, Blog Engines, Blogosphere, Software Studies, WordPress Summary This thesis proposes to add the study of software-engine relations to the emerging field of software studies, which may open up a new avenue in the field by accounting for the increasing entanglement of the engines with software thus further shaping the field. The increasingly symbiotic relationship between the blogger, blog software and blog engines needs to be addressed in order to be able to describe a current account of blogging. The daily blogging routine shows that it is undesirable to exclude the engines from research on the phenomenon of blogs. The practice of blogging cannot be isolated from the software blogs are created with and the engines that index blogs and construct a searchable blogosphere. The software-engine relations should be studied together as they are co-constructed. In order to describe the software-engine relations the most prevailing standalone blog software, WordPress, has been used for a period of over seventeen months. By looking into the underlying standards and protocols of the canonical features of the blog it becomes clear how the blog software disperses and syndicates the blog and connects it to the engines. Blog standards have also enable the engines to construct a blogosphere in which the bloggers are subject to a software-engine regime.

  • How to Set up a Business Website in 15 Steps Or Less
    How to Set Up a Business Website in 15 Steps or Less By Michael E. Young, J.D., LL.M. Business Attorney & Entrepreneur Based on more than 20 years of experience as an Internet business lawyer, and as the co-owner of several successful ecommerce companies, I recommend the following steps1 to quickly set up your business website. 1. Identify Products and/or Services. If you already have a successful brick-and-mortar business, stick with what you know by selling the same products and services online as you already sell offline to the extent feasible.2 If you do not have a profitable business offline, find products and/or services already being sold online that (a) you like, and (b) the entry level product or service is already being sold for between $99 and $1993 at other websites by others. 2. Domain Name Registration. Register (lease) a search engine-friendly domain name at a registrar (e.g. GoDaddy) for a minimum of 5 years that relates to the niche for that product or service. Be sure that it doesn’t infringe upon someone’s trademark. For example, CocaColaCollectibles.com would be a problem because another company owns the trademark “Coca Cola.” On the other hand, SodaCollectibles.com would not violate a trademark, and it would be search engine-friendly if you planned to sell vintage soda signs, bottles, machines, etc. 3. Host Selection. Select a host for your website (e.g. HostGator) and point the domain name in your account at the registrar to your server(s) at the hosting company.

Where do they seek inspiration, and what are the lessons they have learned in the course of their careers? With the help of this eBook, we want to focus on the people behind the names for a change. After all, what could be more insightful than giving them a chance to share their stories? The authors of this eBook had the occasion to sit down with experi- enced influencers and successful designers for a row of interviews in which they provide first-hand insights into their very own workflows, habits and strategies. WordPress co-founders Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little are among them, JavaScript evangelist Doug Crockford, IDEO’s Duane Bray, Meetup’s vice president Andres Glusman, as well as many other creative minds from design, UX and startup branches.
