What works for me is Linkedin to be honest and recruiters will approach me or my Dutch developer friends for freelance contracts where they basically take a cut of the hour price (most of the time they take 10-15 euros/hour). Also being asked because of people that (pleasantly) worked with you is common as well and you could approach them to see if they need another freelancer for a project.
This is the first I've read about waves of infection.
What I gleened: UK government is concerned that China may experience a second wave of infection once the isolation efforts are lifted. So the UK govt is hoping to have a single, much slower wave.
I also like this article's assessment of the UK's strategy: tough choices based on data of uncertain quality.
The idea is to have a flat product approach to keep things simple. No up-sell. No hidden costs. All companies (S/M/L) get all benefits and features. So the pricing strategy is supposed to reflect that.
I assume your points around "complicated" is related to the "priced per 25" instead of a "per seat model". The reason is because this is not a product with high frequency of use (like Slack), so we believe that based on the type of capabilities that we offer, but pricing "per 25" we can keep the cost lower therefor more attractive for businesses.
What's to know there? Obviously Libra will rack up loads of data on people's spending. Obviously any kind of financial middleman organization these days immediately invests money that it gets from clients for virtual bucks. (I'm surprised to learn that PayPal is limited in this regard, but maybe this report isn't the Singapore PayPal which serves European accounts?)
I’d say a safe bet is Javascript, there are plenty of online resources, good courses online and whatnots. Although it’s true that self learning is possible, I guess the _fastest_ way would be to join few coding meet-ups (there are many here in London and they are free) and learn together with other people.
They should keep a blog/github with their progress too. They basically need to prove they can “do”, having a CV saying “Javascript: 3 month online course” won’t work.
Are they prepared to move away from Barcelona or Vienna? Cities like London and Berlin are great place to look for a job in IT.
A good job board is often a by-product of an active community. Look for Stackoverflow, Github, and even the now defunct 37Signals Jobs (rebranded in WeWorkRemotely).
If you could build a community around it, then companies will be happy to pay (and I've learnt this lesson the hard way!). Follow petercooper suggestions and best of luck!
It was a book with a good design, although it didn't help me learn much about design. The references were useful, but I would have liked to be a step-by-step guide (similar to Drawing on the right side of the brain, but for design) instead of a showcase of 'good' design and some side note tips.
