michellejunlee | 11 years ago | on: Show HN: Matchmaking anonymously by someone you know

yes, it will be at facebook messages.

Also on the app, on the send match page, you can click on your friend and send the message directly (from your own email)

regarding the abuse, the 2 person being matched to each other dont know the identity of each other anyway, and at anytime one of the party can decide not to continue that chat. In anycase they know who "the person" that is trying to become their matchmaker, thus i think the abuse will be minimal.

thanks

invoices are submitted early this year (like january), they paid some, but there are still quite a chunk of money they havent paid yet

like you said, it is "a bit dramatic" and stupid i would think if you havent submitted an invoice(s) and expected to be paid.

and i would think you will agree with me that january 2013 invoice is very late in october 2013.

and also imho, having been living in the valley for 18 years as a developer, sometimes old clients are like leeches, because they keep asking lower and lower prices, and before you know it, they want you to compete in pricing with a guy in india, or they will send out somekind of cease and desist email firing you for being not punctual etc, when all this time you have been helping them and giving them really low price. Trust me that all good things must eventually come to an end.

i wish it was that simple. there are 2 parts website and mobile apps, obviously with just the mobile apps src code, people cant do much with it.

Someone in news.ycombinator here must have dealt with this problem or at least a number of people, I know we usually only read successful stories everywhere but there actually thousands that dont make it

actually i am more or less like an employee with options etc but 1099 instead w2

most of the website work i cant do much since its on the server with login etc for anyone to see and access, but on the mobile apps, its pretty much ipa/apk you upload to the app store.

I believe like there are lots of instances of startup unable to pay etc in bay area, I just need to understand my options.

michellejunlee | 12 years ago | on: Why do we have to give 2 weeks notice? our boss fire us right on the spot?

just wondering, why people are so afraid of "burning the bridge". It feels like there is a mentality that the world (or the valley) at the least is small and there will be good chances you meet the people you work with or your boss in future that will interview you?

i have been working in the valley since 96 as programmer and i never gotten interview or at the least needed help from people i work before.
