I pay him $12,000 out of the $67,000 I get. He's happy to have the work. I'm happy that I have to work only 90 minutes a day just supervising the code. My employer thinks I'm telecommuting. Now I'm considering getting a second job and doing the same thing." <br /> <br />Smarter techies are working for three to four companies at the same time, outsourcing all the coding and just supervising them for few hours a day. This way they are able to earn four to five time more than what they used to. <br /> <br />This is called the principle of 'comparative advantage', whereby you concentrate on you core strengths outsourcing the non competitive areas.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12449268-112335566942923071?l=ovid12.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Teeghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04504750818824029475noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12449268.post-1123213084521454512005-08-04T20:38:00.000-07:002005-08-04T20:38:04.540-07:00<a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/constnot.html">Things that are not in the U.S. Constitution - The U.S. Constitution Online - USConstitution.net</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12449268-112321308452145451?l=ovid12.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Teeghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04504750818824029475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12449268.post-1123197929907472512005-08-04T16:25:00.000-07:002005-08-04T16:25:29.923-07:00<a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html">The Submarine</a>:A good flatterer doesn't lie, but tells his victim selective truths (what a nice color your eyes are). Good PR firms use the same strategy: they give reporters stories that are true, but whose truth favors their clients. <br /> <br />For example, our PR firm often pitched stories about how the Web let small merchants compete with big ones. This was perfectly true. But the reason reporters ended up writing stories about this particular truth, rather than some other one, was that small merchants were our target market, and we were paying the piper.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12449268-112319792990747251?l=ovid12.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Teeghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04504750818824029475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12449268.post-1123192149945442152005-08-04T14:49:00.000-07:002005-08-04T14:49:09.946-07:00<a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/HighNotes.html">Joel on Software - Hitting the High Notes</a>: <br /> <br />In March, 2000, I launched this site with the shaky claim that most people are wrong in thinking you need an idea to make a successful software company: <br /> <br />The common belief is that when you're building a software company, the goal is to find a neat idea that solves some problem which hasn't been solved before, implement it, and make a fortune.
