XP-Dev.com - Remote - https://xp-dev.com

XP-Dev.com does version control and project hosting (in the same market as Github, Bitbucket, etc). Profitable and bootstrapped.

Looking for backend and frontend engineers who would like to get their hands dirty in Subversion, Git and Mercurial. You will be working on new features on the platform that may involve work on the whole stack. You will be liaising directly with real users. Deployments are really quick, and you get to see the impact of your work almost immediately.

Stack:

  - Nginx, Apache
  - Java (Core, Wicket, Hibernate)
  - Python (mainly for scripting)
  - Linux
  - AngularJS, JQuery
  - MySQL
  - Redis
  - RabbitMQ
  - Fabric

There are other products in the pipeline - most of which are akin to xp-dev.com (hosting/productivity platforms). So, there is plenty of room to switch products and try out new things: https://deployer.vc, https://zoned.io amongst them.

What we're looking for:

  - Self starters
  - Sound understanding of programming
    you don't need to be a Java/Python/JavaScript guru

Benefits:

  - No keeping track of holidays
  - Flexible working hours
  - Flexible working conditions (see below)

Position location is remote. You'll need to factor in working from home or from a shared space near you (all will be paid for).

To apply, just drop a short cover email describing yourself and your CV to [email protected]

Having run quite a number of marathons, half-marathons, 5k, 10k and all distances in between, I have noticed that there are still a good amount of runners out there (whether serious or not) who use their 4"/5" phones for tracking.

> You could argue that what Barclays really should have done was channel some retail flow into LX, but sources of that kind of unlimited, innocent liquidity get snapped up pretty quickly.

To add to this: another issue with retail flow is price and volume. Only a few really big players out there have enough of this flow to make it interesting to institutional traders.

Using Pelican for almost everything under http://exentriquesolutions.com - have tried Jekyll, but somehow Pelican seems much more pluggable.

Can't recommend Pelican enough - if you're still looking for one, do give Pelican a try: theme support, Jinja templating, plugins and much more.

I run https://xp-dev.com and more recently http://deployer.vc and https://zoned.io - all as a solo. I am hiring now, have used freelancers for help over time, but generally it has been a solo effort.

Do tell if you have any specific questions, and I'll be more than happy to help out!

Have been using Checkout on https://deployer.vc and https://zoned.io - it's absolutely excellent: very easy to integrate, and looks really good. Will be switching over the other products as well over from PayPal.

You should send a reminder, even if it's just a few days before you take the charge. It's not just a Good Thing To Do, but it will even reduce the risk of charge-backs.

As your business grows and you take on more payments, you will find there are a small group of your customers who will look at their credit card bill at the end of the month (or months) and just call up the credit card company to charge back items that they don't recognise (due to them not recognising the charge (innocent mistake) or they genuinely didn't use your service and feel "cheated")

On a side note, why do you take CC info at signup ? I've done about 4 SaaS currently live, and not a single one takes CC information upfront, but rather send them a reminder to pay an invoice as their trial reaches it's end.

Ubuntu LTS tend to backport a good number of packages. For example, if you wanted a fairly recent nginx, you will find 1.4.x built for 12.04 LTS https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/stable

If no one notices your project but it is genuinely interesting, just blog about it until they notice. I posted Asterank Discover on HN and it got 5 points. Then I wrote a blog post about it that made the front page. Go figure.

I think this might be that people tend to prefer reading about stories on products rather than a product landing page ?

Think the trick to overseas is to get a local pre-paid SIM card, and use that number locally. As pre-paid SIM cards are getting more pervasive around the world, normally this works out as the cheapest option. Naturally, there are some countries where purchasing a pre-paid SIM is near impossible, or costly enough that sticking to roaming with your current provider works out cheaper.

If I'm not mistaken, instead of splitting into:

  controllers/
    users.js
    teams.js
  models/
    user.js
    team.js

Just have:

  modules/
    users.js
    teams.js

Where model and controllers for each function is defined within a single file.

I've switched to this convention as well - less context switching of files.

Stripe has flat pricing:

https://stripe.com/gb/help/pricing

Paypal has tiered pricing:

https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-receiv...

So, it depends on which tier you're on for PayPal, it may go either way. However, I suspect most people are sitting on 3.4%+20p on PayPal will find Stripe cheaper.

Exactly. Just because you've spent the last year barely making ends meet, it doesn't mean that you have to spend another year in a similar situation.

Reassess what's important to you and go for it. You need to ensure that your own personal needs are taken care of first before others, and if that means leaving the startup behind, then so be it.
