Engineering

1. What tech stack do you use? Are you rolling out new technologies or sunsetting older ones? Do you have any legacy system that you need to maintain?
2. What is your maturity stage? Finding a direction, feature work, maintenance...
3. What are the next big engineering challenges you will face?
4. How are requirements delivered to the engineering teams? How are technical decisions made and communicated?
5. What level of involvement do engineers have in relation to architecture and system design? How much freedom for decision making do individual developers have? What happens if an engineer identifies areas of improvement?
6. What is the junior/senior balance of the team?

How to calculate your hourly rate as a freelancer?

Many people struggle with this question. Some just try to make as much as a full-time employee makes (and ignore that they won't be able to bill as many days). Others follow tips on startup related websites that suggest to ask for 20% to 50% more than an salary would yield (and ignore the additional risk and expenses they have).

Below you will find some numbers to help you calculate how high your hourly or daily rate should be.

Your yearly income should be higher than an average salary

• You take more risk than full time employees, phases without income are likely

Android Studio Shortcuts (Mac)

Notes:

• Two of the most useful shortcuts utilize the Fn (function) keys. It is therefore recommended that you enable the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" option [System Preferences > Keyboard].
• Be sure to enable the Mac OS X 10.5+ keymap in Android Studio [Preferences > Keymap].
• A fairly complete shortcut list can be found here.

# git-mv-with-history -- move/rename file or folder, with history.

# Moving a file in git doesn't track history, so the purpose of this
# utility is best explained from the kernel wiki:
#
#   Git has a rename command git mv, but that is just for convenience.
#   The effect is indistinguishable from removing the file and adding another
#   with different name and the same content.
