Because it's not pro-environment, as you'd think.

More CO2 is generated by remote employees than those that go to work. The CO2 emissions generated by an office (including heating / AC / water / employee transportation - in EU it's mostly by subway / bus) are smaller compared to each individual employee CO2 emissions.

Don't have a source, but you can find CO2 calculators online.

(Mostly) front-end developer with javascript knowledge and over 15 years of experience.

Aside from development, I've also got a couple of skill multipliers that make me add more value to the projects I'm involved in:

* I'm not afraid to ask questions (How will the clients use the code I write? Can I make it simpler / more intuitive for them? Do we really have to (re)write this whole application / module / functionality? Can we do 20% of the work for 80% of the result?)

* Worked with non-technical clients as both adviser and developer

* Challenge existing outdated processes

* Learn the concepts behind a technology, making the switch to something else easy and painless

that's a nice path. But what if you misstep and forget to enable the right vpn? You work and your social selves will get merged.


That could happen. So don't forget. Or don't worry so much.

A little personal responsibility and stoicism is called for; when you mess up, learn from the mistake and move on with your life.


Minimization though comes with a mental price; it's the best solution, I agree, but I am looking for a good enough solution.

PS: appreciate you not picking on my grammar (though spell-checkers say it's correct)

-----------

Started as a backend developer (still have a lot of skills in that area) but slowly transitioned to front-end, where things are more exciting.

I am learning the concepts behind every front-end framework I am working with and discover both the good and the bad parts. Hence I can adapt to any new and shiny thing out there.

I maintain a couple of side projects for which I've also done some support for and realized the amount of difference the right message/explanation can make (regardless of how beautiful the code was written).

I am looking to bring value to a company either as an employee or as an external consultant.


I've been where you are.

Here are some things that worked for me:

1. Get some time off. Don't work, just relax, read things, try to find real problems from people around you.

2. Start a project with someone. Anyone. Accountability works really good.

3. Try to concentrate on one things, making it good enough.

4. I've found that listening to entrepreneurship podcasts works wonders for motivation.

And to end this comment: the moment you've got $1 in your account you stopped being a wantrepreneur :)


I'm planning to use a similar model OSS / commercial as well. Mike and Sidekiq is my inspiration for this. Good luck going further with the project and congrats for the launch!


For the last few years, I've read a lot on conversion optimization articles.

Reading this, summarizes 90% of the tips and tricks that I learned. Glad you HNers enjoy it!


Razvan, congrats on the app.

It would have been interesting to see comparision before and after TwoTap. Still, 1.x conversion sounds good for mobile un-targeted traffic.


This model wasn't possible before so it's difficult to compare apples to apples but the increase in performance (products sold through this channel) is around 10x.

We believe 1.x conversion in this scenario is incredibly good considering there's room to improve AND these are transactions. The performance here is better than most mobile CTRs for banners.


Don't know about your target market but to me 10x increase sounds a whole lot better than 1.x conversion rate. + I would have loved to see a video with the checkout process


The 10x is harder to define compared to the typical scenario before Two Tap. The real achievement here is the conversion rate considering mobile + commerce + general traffic.

Feel free to test out the checkout at https://core.twotap.com/demo or with other publishers (maybe Honey, the Chrome extension?)

Thanks for contributing!


I am actually using AngularJS to rewrite an old project for a client. The reason I chose it is not because of popularity alone, but because it makes my code easier to read and it adds responsive interface to it.

Don't aim for a growing trend in regards to frameworks, aim for productivity and user experience.
