I'm looking to set up a private mailing list. I would like it to support invites, access requests, moderation, simple automation, and archive searching.

What do you use/recommend?

I am reevaluating my freelance mobile development business and am hoping to gain some insight into what motivates potential clients. What were your experiences around hiring a developer and how did it go? Below are some prompt questions to get the ball rolling.

* Why did you decide to have a mobile app built?

* Where did you look for someone to build it?

* What made you choose a particular developer?

* What challenges did you encounter?

Any information you choose to share is helpful and appreciated!

I started to answer the other question about technical debt. Then I realized that this question was more interesting to me.

How did you frame the argument that convinced the non-technical decision makers that technical debt should be taken care of? Was the metaphor of "technical debt" a good way to frame the argument, or was the notion too ethereal?

I'm a freelance mobile/web developer whose company is growing to the point where I have to pull on help. One time consuming things that I haven't delegated is configuring or trouble-shooting things on VMs for clients.

I find this to be very time consuming however I am reticent to have a subcontractor do this as I'm nervous about giving root access, if even for a short while.

Is there a reasonable way to delegate this such that I don't have to worry about nefarious activity? Or a way that I can detect that someone has been doing something they shouldn't?

Hey hackernews! What books would you recommend to introduce someone to software project management? (Not scrum) I am working with a product owner who wants to learn more about it.

I own a freelance business and recently contacted an artist to create a logo for me. The artist responded with a contract stipulating that after creating the logo, I would have a non-exclusive license to do what I wanted, but they retain the right to post the image anywhere they keep their portfolio.

Should I be requesting full rights and then agree to license it back to them to display in their portfolio?

I guess I'm not really seeing what is protecting me wrt my logo.

What have others done to protect their rights wrt to their logo?
