Google felt a little more special. "Don't be evil" and all that. Those were the days.

In BBC's "Race across the world" you aren't allowed a mobile phone to check timetables, so I guess this is in the spirit of that game.

Yes it's annoying, but that's part of the puzzle right?

Opening Claude from the parent directory is what I do, and it seems to work pretty well, but I do like this monorepo idea so that a single commit can change things in the front end and back end together, since this is a use case that's quite common

I love how Django just keeps slowly improving at every release. 6.0 is especially cool, including lots of really useful new features. Who said dependable tech was dull - this is the way is should be done. Well done all who contribute.

Totally agree, this annoys me to. The gaps between sentences make speech easier to listen to and digest.

This is really well done. I'd love to see some more info about the process of photographing the cars.

This died when the web became mostly a marketing tool for businesses. It's a shame, but inevitable.

Ask HN: Accepting clients payments

emzo — Wed, 09 May 2012 11:49:01 +0000

As someone making the transition to self-employment, billing clients is something I have very little experience with, and is starting to worry me! Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole-hill, but I'd like to hear how other web developers/designers bill their clients. I'll be charging a one-off fee for initial design and development, and a recurring monthly fee for hosting/maintenance. Bearing in mind that I'm located in the UK, clients will mostly be small businesses, but may be located abroad. How do you collect payments from your clients for similar work, and what issues should I be aware of? I feel somewhat embarrassed asking such a fundamental question on HN, but if I take away even a single small piece of useful advice, I figured it's worth asking. Thanks for your help!
