One minute you're being celebrated as the Overall BGS, and the next minute you're starting your MSc in Biostatistics at the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University, Canada’s top(1) university, as a Mastercard Foundation Scholar.
We need to normalise giving feedbacks after a service, and stop this humble gimmick. You might just be saving someone from having a bad experience or otherwise. Downloaded an app, drop a review. You lodged in an hotel or ordered chow, drop a review.
Someone offered me 40% of his startup to build it, and I still said no 😭
For startups I genuinely believe in, I typically charge $1,000 - $2,000 + 20% equity. But if I don't fully believe in the idea or the founder isn't offering Equity, I charge my normal development fee, and they can always offer me equity later when there's actual traction.
An amazing guy reached out to me with an idea he's apparently already built about 80% of. He has a community, believes he can market it, but says his weakness is design/product and wants me to come in and handle that side with him.
He couldn't afford the $1k, so he offered me 40% instead.
The funny thing is, the $1k isn't even really about the money for me. I've received equity in startups over my 5 years in tech, and I've learnt that giving someone 20%, 30% or even 40% of something currently worth nothing is very easy 😂
But if I'm going to commit my time, my team, and months of work to your idea, I need to know you have some skin in the game too.
Because if it works, 40% could be worth a lot of money. But if it doesn't, 40% of zero is still zero, and I don't get my time back.
Maybe I'm being too strict, but I've seen this side of startups enough times to know why I have that rule now.
Would you take the 40%?
The middleman service called recursive dns. Since it does not know the address, it looks up for the root, top-level domain, and authoritative server until it resolves the answer, then saves it up for next time.
If a user requests for an OTP resend before the current one expires, do you send them a new one or just resend the existing one? And why?
I've seen apps do both and I'm curious.
