Hey HN,

My friend is part of a consulting agency that wants to develop their own product idea (cross-company surveys, dashboard for insights). They're already generating about 900k a year in revenue from consulting fees (which is 90% operating profit).

They're basically looking for an engineer to build an MVP, which they can then iterate on + learn from in order to build a fully fledged product that they can go out an sell to their existing clients. It's definitely a risk, but the fact that they already have relationships with these clients makes it a lot less risky.

My main questions is about how to get compensated as a freelancer and how much risk I'm willing to take. On one side, I don't want it to be based fully on equity. Too much risk and I'd be taking on most of it. At the same time, I don't want it to be all cash compensation: If this works out, I want to have equity in the business and get a constant profit stream from the product (which is what we've talked about).

Curious if anyone has any good templates for this or specific suggestions?

I'm mainly looking for something that: - Is not structured around full time employment, but instead freelance type work - Is structured around shares with profit sharing (with yearly payouts) - Has a good balance of risk (cash vs equity)

I've been exploring some of the different Docker registries and can't really settle on what's better and why. They all seem pretty similar.

Do you have any good/bad experiences why any particular registry? Any features you've seen in one of these that turned out to be particularly useful? Which payment model seems better: repository or storage? Anything else I should consider when picking one?

Seems to me like the options are: Docker Hub, Quay, ECR, and Google Container Registry. Any other important ones out there?
